Northern Ireland Labour Party Crumbling

A sign of the things to come I suspect. The obvious irreconcilable differences between "normal" Labour members and the hard left Corbynites are taking their toll as members resign.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ne...-36009828.html

"The Labour Party in Northern Ireland has been plunged into chaos following the resignation of all its leading officers.

The officers, which include chairperson Anna McAleavy, vice chair Damien Harris and secretary Kathryn Johnston, have blamed “irreconcilable difficulties” with a small minority of members who they say have joined the party since the election of leader Jeremy Corbyn."

"The local resignations come after it emerged in March of this year that 26,000 members of Labour have quit the party since Jeremy Corbyn’s reelection as leader."

Re: Northern Ireland Labour Party Crumbling

I can't help feeling it's only those that can't accept members have any rights that don't want to hang around. This is a massive taking back of the party from blairites who had a stranglehold for many years dragging us closer and closer to the right. We are swinging back where we belong and picking up thousands of new members on the way. So something must be right.

You haven't thought this through have you??? - if your assertion is correct - it leaves the way open for Sinn Fein to pick up more votes!!!
