The problem is that Labour is the alternative to the Tories in our system. It may be unimaginable that he wins but the last year as seen many things we assumed were not possible happen.

The people behind the hard left aren't completely stupid. They know what they're doing. They know Corbyn will probably lose the election but they aren't thinking of 2020 but 2025 or 2030. The idea is to take over the Labour party until it's institutions, rules and membership until they've got a hold on it for good then they just have to wait for government. This was the strategy of the old communists towards the party, to support Labour as a noose supports a hanged man, and it's their strategy now too.

It might not work but that is their idea.
