Anyone else torn over Corbyn coup

My Facebook is full of outrage at MPs overriding party members and yes I can see it's anti-democratic in that sense. But on the other hand I think it's unfair to brand the shadow cabinet members now resigning as Blairite plotters. I think many of them are just honestly fed up with his rather half-hearted Remain campaigning and don't think he has a chance of winning a possibly imminent general election. Whatever happens it's going to tear the Labour party apart. Just so depressing.

I don't think we lost the referendum because of Corbyn. I don't think we can win a general election with Corbyn. Then again, I don't think we will win one without him.

I don't think the spectacle of the Labour Party tearing itself apart at a time of national crisis will win much support. Then again, Corbyn hasn't really shown any leadership and he probably needs to go.

Either way, the Labour Party has massively lost its way, and I'm not sure how on earth it will ever find its way back. Very sad, but at the same time, I feel that there are bigger things for us to worry about right now. They need to stop navel gazing.

Seems like you have to be Scottish to get any credible post-referendum leadership.

No Corbyn fan, but if ever there was a time for cool heads, time and reflection from the opposition then this is it. Instead we have the depressingly predictable spectacle of our elected politicians doing the ferrets-in-a-sack act.
