YouGov poll has a painful message for the Labour plotters - they actually need the radical left if they are to ever win power

One of the main justifications for the moral compromises of Blairism was/is that Labour "have to live in the real world", and can't win elections without putting forward policies that appeal to Middle England.  Well, here's a dose of reality that isn't going to be quite so welcome for the anti-Corbyn plotters : a new YouGov poll provides powerful evidence that the Corbyn wing of the party is not, as the plotters like to tell themselves, a trivial and dispensable part of the Labour coalition that currently wields wildly disproportionate influence.  In fact, there doesn't appear to be any path to victory without the radical left.

YouGov asked hypothetical voting intention questions based on the assumption that Labour would split into two parties, with the Corbyn wing remaining at the helm of one.  No matter which way round the split occurs, the left-led party attracts significant support, and the bulk of it comes from the current Labour vote.  If Corbyn and co retain the Labour brand, they hold on to 21% of the vote, but even if it's assumed that they break away and set up an entirely new party with a new name, they still get 14% - almost half of Labour's support.  In both scenarios, the plotter-led "moderate" centre-left party would receive less than 20% of the vote, and would thus be left in territory familiar to the Liberal Democrats prior to their disastrous decision to install David Cameron in Downing Street.

It's interesting to ponder whether a radical left party could have attracted 14% or 21% of the vote if Corbyn had never become Labour leader.  But even if that support is largely driven by Corbyn's new-found celebrity and status, it doesn't make any concrete difference - the plotters can't wind the clock back and erase the last year from history.  As bad as poll respondents are at answering hypothetical questions, it seems inconceivable based on these findings that "moderate Labour" would not at least suffer a big electoral hit as a result of any split.  The radical left are clearly now an essential part of any winning coalition of Labour voters, and the plotters are therefore going to have to somehow make peace with Corbyn if they mean what they say about being motivated by a single-minded pursuit of victory.  (They don't, of course.)

Helen Lewis has been castigated in some quarters for dubious claims about the SNP in her latest New Statesman piece about Corbyn, but for my money the silliest part of the article is when she implies that the Labour leader is guilty of hypocrisy for criticising the plotters over their refusal to serve in the Shadow Cabinet, given that he himself declined to serve in Blair's Cabinet.  I'm sorry, but in what reality did Tony Blair ever offer Corbyn a job on the lowest rung of the ministerial ladder, let alone in the Cabinet?  It may well be that Corbyn would have refused to serve even if he had been asked, but you just don't get to score points about the refusal of a job offer that was never made, and would never have been made in a million years.

  1. Corbyn stood for election to the Shadow Cabinet when Blair was Leader of the opposition. He didn't get on, but at least he indicated willingness to serve.

      And why are the Nat sis bothered about Labour!. The Scottish people are not left wing and never have been. Labour in its present situation is a gift to the Tartan and Blue Tories. Since the 2008 recession and the collapse of the banks the people have not turned to an alternative socialist left but just the opposite.

  4. I think the painful message is that Labour appears to need the plotters as well - or at least prevent them from splitting. If there's a split, any split, 13 to 15% of the vote will go with the splitters.

    However, what's interesting is that however the party splits, their combined vote share should creep up(by harvesting Lib and UKIP votes). Too bad it's not a proportional system.

      The ChickenCoup plotters would get annihilated at the polls if they split.

      That is crystal clear. They wouldn't win a seat.

      Precisely who in the PLP is going to follow the ChickenCoup Plotters off a cliff (with 4% support of the electorate) even if they did have the balls to split, which they don't.

      Even Owen Jones after having a pop at Corbyn and his supporters then admitted Corbyn is overwhelmingly likely to win.

      So there is no reasonable or remotely likely circumstance where Corbyn and his supporters split.

      All that's left after the leadership election is the handful of Blairite ChickenCoup plotters continuing to shout abuse at their own party leader from inside the party.

      They may well get the media and the tories on their side to help them do so but they will seal their own fate and end up deselected, out of a job and out of politics altogether.

      Just like most of SLAB and the scottish westminster contingent from Labour.

      Delete
    2. 4%? Blind hatred of the blairites isn't going to help. Believe me, I'd love to be rid of them too, but the YouGov survey clearly indicates about 13% would vote for a right-wing split-off party.

      Bear in mind that UKIP, with 12-13% of the vote, came second in 120 seats. If not for Farage's orders to the troops to vote for the Tories, there would be more UKIP MPs.

      I think of it as the Edinburgh South effect - contining to elect Blairites even though the cause is clearly discredited. Yes, they probably won't come anywhere near 120, but they could hang onto forty or so, especially if Corbyn Labour decides not to contest constituencies similar to Edinburgh South in return for Blairites not contesting the 40 most marginal seats.

      Don't forget, Labour has a Labour Co-operative sub/parallel branch(not to mention the NI SDLP), so they already know how to operate this kind of arrangment. And the Blairites are such amateurish backstabbers - it should be entertaining when they start doing it to themselves.

    3. Incompetent Blairites of Mass Destruction #ChickenCoupAugust 5, 2016 at 12:24 PM

      You simply didn't understand,. That small number of Labour voters 13% is 4% of the electorate.

      None of the mockery of Blairites the is blind. It is informed by every single stupid thing they do and have done. Contempt for them too yes, though hatred is giving them too much credit since they are essentially powerless and irrelevant now like SLAB and it's leadership.

      Farage didn't order anyone to vote tory. The Kippers don't have more MPS because of FPTP and because most of the soft tory vote and some kippers melted away to the tories since they were getting an EU ref for free by doing so.

      Even with that the tories only managed a tiny majority which is going to come back into play very soon indeed.

      The kippers aren't as organised as the other political parties. They're pretty shit at canvassing and the hard work needed to harness votes and make a grassroots movement viable and sustainable. However, they won't need it if tories and tory members (who were denied a vote on electing a Brexit tory PM) do not like May's Remainer 'deals' when she shoots down the more absurd and lunatic of the hardline Brexiteers fantasies one by one to leave the lightest of Brexit lights as the only option.

      The Blairites are little more than a disgruntled rabble of careerists idiots.

      Nobody could or would make deals with them.
      Deals would require a new party and they simply don't have the balls or the support to do so. For sure, they might get some financial bungs from a few of the more clueless Blairite moneypots, but money alone will never cut it.

      Somehow finding 4 Labour MPs to jump of a cliff with 4% support of the total electorate would be hilarious, never mind 40.

  5. If the Tories are crazy enough to follow through on their pledge to exit the EU,once they feel sufficiently unencumbered by current restraints,are going to have to follow policies which will allow them to compete with other banana republics/kingdoms.
    The Blairites Tory lite philosophy supported by the current intake of Labour MPs just won't cut it with England's electorate so they are very definitely going to need Corbyn and his supporters.
    The goal posts are about to be shifted in a very big way.

      Clegg's ostrich faction and the lib dems did everything the Blairites have ever wanted to do to Labour. They got as close as possible to the tories while embracing austerity/pointless wars and almost all of the neoliberal agenda.

      It utterly destroyed them and they are now a complete irrelevance with a taxi full of MPs and MSPs.

      However much the media tries to pretend things are all just fine and the tories and westminster establishment is blithely going on with business as usual with nobody caring, the fact of the matter is that's complete and utter bullshit.

      It simply does not sound even remotely convincing to anyone outside the bubble just now.

      There are huge swathes of ordinary people real fucking angry at what is happening in England/Wales. It's why Corbyn is getting the massive crowds he is and why the westminster bubble is so laughably out of touch.

      The tories have no plan for Brexit and people are beginning to notice.

      They also have no plan for how to keep the tory party together since trying to get rid of anyone in the tory party who doesn't agree with May and her policies (whatever the fuck they actually are, like on Brexit) is no longer an option.

      Doesn't matter if the Kippers are a complete joke right now. Farage will always be able to jump into that party and claim back the leadership at a time of his choosing after the EU ref. Even if he didn't, being a joke has never stopped the Kippers taking votes off the tories before when it came to immigration and EU splits like Brexit.

      Imagine the tories trying to run a snap election with NO POLICY ON BREXIT and no clue what to do about it.

  8. The present labour crisis has very little to do with the labour party as such.
    It is the establishment losing it's hold over the labour party's policies which instigated the coup against Corbyn.
    So far Jeremy Corbyn has stood his ground well, never cowardly like the patriotic Benn who if he had any courage would have stood for the leadership.
    He may have failed but people could have respected him. I am glad his father never saw him behave like this.
    If Owen Smith wins the labour leadership I will be surprised but it would only start a right wing coup against him so what would be the point of him winning.
    Of course the Mighty Eagle may come blubbering back. The 51 MP's who backed her challenge for the leadership need serious psychiatric treatment however this is merely my opinion.

    5. Ceaseless tirades are the tactic of the experienced troll: never answer a direct question; never defer to erudition; when accused of making banal assertion attack the other person’s intelligence, and if a good point is made shout it down with high-handed condemnation and jeering. If possible, call in a couple of supporters to pretend they are objective bystanders but who agree with you in toto. If a debater refuses to lower their standards and leaves the fray, accuse them of running away from the argument. Trolls like to pretend they are masters of their universe, and ours.
