Jeremy Corbyn wants another three years as Labour leader

All the talk about Jeremy Corbyn needing to step down as Labour leader for the sake of his political party, the country and the universe is going nowhere. Corbyn has decided that he will stay on as leader for at least another three years. Does he really think that he can lead the party to a general election victory and become prime minister of Great Britain? A word of warning here. The newspapers are full of stories about Corbyn being a total disaster as leader and that he stands no chance of ever winning anything, let alone a general election. Longstanding members of the Labour party, like Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's old director of communications, are defecting because they think Corbyn is the ruin of the Labour party and will never win power. They also despise the advisers surrounding Corbyn, calling them Stalinists and Leninists and Marxists. In other words, the Labour leadership has become an anti-Semitic, autocratic monstrosity. I believe that to be correct. However, I remember the new young voters flocking to Corbyn when he tried to show during his lreadership campaign in 2016 that he was a man of the people and a new-look politician who actually cared. They believed in him. Now he seems somewhat reluctantly to be espousing the virtues of staying in the EU. I think and fear that if Boris Johnson decides to do a Theresa May and go for a snap election in order to increase his majority - soon probably to be reduced to just one - and destroy Corbyn, there could be a mighty shock. Young voters could once again flock to Corbyn because they hate Boris and Nigel Farage and all the rest of the get-out-of-the-EU-at-all-costs brigade. The young won't get Corbyn into Downing Street on their own. But if we have a no-deal Brexit confronting us in the next three months, I can see a flood of people turning to Corbyn to be their saviour. Most people don't make up their minds about party leaders by reading the newspapers and listening to the elite establishment pontificating about the Labour party's Stalinist tendencies or even their appalling anti-Semitism. If they still think Corbyn is basically a nice chap who cares, they will vote for him. So beware, Boris. Theresa thought she was on to a winner by calling a snap election in 2017 but it proved disastrous for her. In fact it finally destroyed her. Boris has said he is absolutely against a general election before 2022 But advisers around him might pressure him to go for Corbyn while they believe he is at his weakest. It would be dangerous advice. Corbyn wants another three years as leader because he thinks he can still make it to Number 10. Oh my God, he just may be right!
