The many, many dead people in the fighting in the Middle East that followed don't deserve some acknowledgement?
Not if they were killed by his friends in Hamas and Hizbollah (or were victims of the IRA for that matter).

Re-elected in a landslide.
Labour's membership now stands at more than 550,000, up from just 200,000 18 months ago.

Jeremy Corbyn demanded rebel MPs fall into line today after securing another crushing victory in the leadership contest.
The veteran left-winger played down the prospect of concessions to bring the deeply divided party back together - instead insisting critics had to respect the fact he had received 61.8 per cent of the vote.

He lost amongst members who joined pre the last election. Typically idiotic of Miliband to stuff up membership rules and allow an army of thug trots to join the party.
Corbyn voted against his own party continuously in the past. Extraordinarily hypocritical of him to demand that MPs back his lunatic left agenda in parliament.

The concept of an army of trots scared you quite a bit eh meds?
The reality is the new deal is dead, because the capitalists didn't hold up their end of the bargain.
Blame the youth all you want, they are skewing hard left.
Nope. They are irrelevant morons. The ones scared are the moderate labour types. It is they who will suffer the violence and abuse.

You screwed up the formatting of that link.
By backers is it referring to voters/members or financial backers? Because only one of those groups is actually relevant to a people power party.
Edited it for you
"Sky Data conducted the survey in July, going back to people who said they would vote Labour in surveys from Mr Corbyn's election as Labour leader in September 2015 through to the vote of no confidence in him as leader in June 2016"
The liberals in Labour can go join the Lib Dems and test out just how strongly people feel about liberalism.
That may well be the case in southern England but up in the northern heartlands they aren't going to vote in large numbers for pre eu / mass immigration. If UKIP wasnt so poorly organised and riven with conflict it would be every chance to significantly increase its vote there.
So what? It is a sham that liberals can dominate the parliamentary Labour party when their ideology is poles apart from from the socialism that the party's base has always preferred. It is well past time those MPs joined up with their likeminded cohorts in the Lib Dem and Conservative parties.

Who cares if he lost amongst members that joined pre Miliband. What does that have to do with anything. Are their votes not worth the same as anyone else?
Its pretty clear alot of the influx has come from people that were disillusioned with Labor and didnt offer an alternative. Not all, but a substantial portion.
The opinion polls atm are dire. He is unlikely to win in 2020 unless a lazarus like resurgence takes place. The Blairites will try to blame it on his poor leadership but the truth is pre coup his poll numbers were within striking distance. Now post coup they are abysmal. Instability is death as was proved by the ALP.

The Blairites work for the same people as the government. Absolutely deliberate.
What does it have to do with anything?? It shows the massive shift to the lift in the membership base.
Quite a few didnt vote for labour previously
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/tim-bale/jeremy-corbyn-labour-membership_b_10713634.html
Some 17% of new members voted Green at the general election in 2015 - a figure which rises to 20% of registered supporters, 28% of those who first joined as registered supporters and then became full members, and 24% of those who joined the Party after Corbyn became leader. This compares to just 6% of pre-May 2015 members.
He is no chance unless the Tories utterly implode. Will go down like a cup of cold sick up North. McDonnell is even worse than Corbyn as hard as it is to believe.
Those "liberals" argue that the views of members and labour voters aren't identical. I suspect quite a few will join the lib dems given they have become far less liberal under current leadership.

How can he unite the party when Momentum have made it clear they want to deselect plenty of "moderates" and the boundary changes have given them a handy excuse to do so? I would think it extremely hard.

Deselect the troublemakers, select candidates that support the leader and the wishes of party members, bingo bango, you have a united party.
It is chiefly the fault of Ed Miliband.
Nor should we forget that Corbyn only just scraped over the line to be on the leadership ballot because a number of so called moderates lent him their vote.
His deputy Tom Watson (who was behind Smith's failed effort) is a gold plated, weapons grade campaigner. so yes i fully agree its not all Momentum's fault.
There is no right and left. The so-called 'moderates' are liberals, and liberalism is not a mid-point between conservatism and socialism.
They certainly aren't liberals of the Adam Smith / English variety. They love state intervention.

State intervention on a mass scale, siphoning wealth from the poor to the rich, isn't some accidental flaw of an otherwise excellent liberal economic system.
It's a feature!

Seat tally up. Government probably lost their majority. Leading the popular vote. Secured his position to 2022.
2022: Britain is a post-Brexit economic wasteland. Well positioned to win government.
