Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader

Even for the
"Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous
"sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However,
amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor
which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its
principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is
abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party,
are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn
should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of
earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election,
because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision
of the Labour party membership and cling to their over inflated view
of their own ego's and the belief that they have some "Divine
right of Kings" to hold all power in the Labour Party. In much
the same way as these egoists plotted and planned the overthrow of
Corbyn, even before the 2015 leadership election, they now scheme and
conspire to undermine and remove Corbyn after the result of this
leadership election is declared.
Regardless of what
reasons they may present as justification for their duplicitous acts,
no matter how much the media and television may support and encourage
them, their real motivation is as clear as crystal. They seek only to
retain power in their immediate circle, the continuation of the
"status quo" as in the days of Blair, Brown and more
latterly Miliband Minor. The continuation of the policies which were
roundly rejected by the electorate at the most recent General
elections.
The plotters have no
respect for the Labour Party, its membership or for the democratic
processes being concerned only with clinging on to their privileged
positions and all that goes with it. Even their constant references
to the "unelectable Jeremy Corbyn" and "electorate"
has a hollow ring. The electorate has never been given a clear
distinct choice between the parties. They have been offered
"austerity" from the Conservatives or "austerity"
in a different coloured box by the Labour party. All that is set to
change and the Parliamentary Labour Party are petrified.
I would have thought
that after the election result is declared on September 24th, we
could then concentrate on attacking the real enemy of people in this
country, instead of targeting our own colleagues on the Labour
benches. The people of this country are in desperate need of a Labour
government to roll back the excesses of this conservative
administration and the ConDem coalition which preceded it. Alas, it
seems that the personal ambitions and duplicitous scheming of some in
the Parliamentary Labour Party will significantly hinder the
improvements in our society that most of us in the Labour party and
the wider electorate seek to create.
