Corbyn would never have the power Trump has. Trump is Commander of the American Armed Forces, in the UK the Monanch has that roll. The Cabinet in Britain has more power, although as we saw between 2015 and 2020, the Shadow Cabinet was filled with non entities. Starmer remained in order to be in a position to challenge for the leadership after Corbyn resigned. It is unlikely that any Labour MP will ever again vote to allow a member of the Left to enter a leadership race. David Miliband gave his vote to Diane Abbott in 2010 and others gave their vote to Corbyn in 2015. Ed Miliband rewrote the procedures for the election of the Labour leader which excluded the existing leader from needing the support of any qualifying voter.
Again a really intelligent article..anyone who has studied the path of the Weimar Republic from liberal to democracy (and NO first past the pole system!!) to authoritarian dictorship must have noticed that the ruin of the democratic institutions was at least supported by the extreme left. Further analyzing the economic policy of Stalinist Russia and Fascist Italy one will find more than remarkable similarities.

This happens when the government is formed by the first past the post system.
