Am I correct in thinking he cannot be forced to resign? The Labour MPs can demand another leadership election but Corbyn can just stand again, yes? And if he does stand the loonies like Momentum will likely vote him in again. I guess at that point most of the parliamentary party break away and form a new group called, erm, New Labour?

No chance he resigns.

Breakaway party likely imo , could be the main opposition.

he'll have to resign. his rational is that the Blairites are so far up their 'arrises. that they no longer represent the working class anymore. being all career politicians. middle class red tie wearing fancy schoolboys.  I hope he doesn't win because the balloon is about to burst.  he's gonna by the idiot left with the baby.

There's no way Corbyn HAS to resign at all, and while he retains the support of the £3 Entryists, the thugs and the Peace-Loving Postal-Voting Segregated Meeting Community, he can be unassailable Leader-for-Life if he wishes. He can then emulate some of the malodorous dictators he admires so much. 

I would imagine that there would have to be a breakaway 'Sane Labour' party created to run in parallel.

I think if Labour lose catastrophically,which I fear is likely,then Corbyn will resign. Of course one man's catastrophe might be another man's triumph.

I think he goes.  If he doesn't Labour will split, which is probably a good thing.  And because it's a good thing he'll make sure it doesn't happen by resigning.

Not likely, the blame will be put on those who didnt get the scoislaist message over to the electorate enough. It will follow the familiar theme of 'we are sorry that the voters didn't understand our message sufficiently' style but we will listen to the electorate (as many times before) and tell them a bit louder next time.

A sense of deja vu today as McDonnell claims its a mixed bag of results andCorbyn says we have to get out and get our message across more !!Not that the voters want something else from us. F.....g pathetic.

I smile when the pundits compare last night's results and say it could be much different in June.It sure will be,last night Labourwas shored up by some excellent councillors who have worked hard to keep their vote up,next month will be more of straight May or Corbyn focus and it could be a rout.

I've said it many times before. Corbyn is not interested in power,he just wants to smash the Labour Party to pieces and hope that when the bits fall to the floor him and his minority movement get to keep the piece with the "Labour"  name on it.

But hang on a minute…. aren't Corbyn and his chums offering the 'Socialism' that this country have CRAVED all these years?

Remember Callaghan, Foot, Kinnock (twice), Brown and Miliband all lost because they weren't offering the Socialism that the voter wanted? 

Surely this is now the PROPER Socialism that is going to 'transform the country'?
