By Jonathan Cook: The problem is that, if Labour admits Corbyn is
actually harnessing massive support from the real left, it would also
have to concede that long ago it departed from its roots, becoming just
another wing of the neoliberal elite. And more significantly, it would
also have to be prepared to contemplate changing course, opening itself
up to the possibility that someone with social democratic convictions
might again lead the party.
Neither is about to happen, so Labour
is finding the flimsiest of excuses to purge itself of any voters it
can identify as likely to back Corbyn in the leadership vote.
