No, it really isn't. There is a political class who do not like bottom-up democratic activity. They don't like Corbyn because he listens to the people and openly rejects neoliberal austerity.
When did I say that?
Nothing we've tried so far seems to have worked. As much as a Blairite government was, in so many ways, hugely preferable to a Tory one, inequality was not effectively tackled. The poverty gap, to Labour's great shame, continued to grow, if not at the alarming rate of the Tory era.
If you can't see that there is still a a strong Blairite (i.e. anti-clause 4, pro-corporations/the city, anti-union, pro-American War Policy) faction in the PLP then I'm not sure I can ever hope to communicate properly with you. The simple fact is, many hundreds of thousands - millions, probably, when you think about it- of people have been alienated from the political process by a great senses that "They're all as bad as each other" and that "It makes no difference who you vote for." The effect of that has been catastrophically anti-democratic and has allowed corporations and moguls like Murdoch (Godfather the Blair's youngest, lest we forget - the poor sod) to effectively do as they wish. Who was challenging austerity? Who fights against zero hours contracts? Who speaks positively about unionisation - workers having a voice?
Corbyn has brought many thousands of those disenfranchised people back to the political debate. He has invigorated our democracy.
There is a crisis in the Labour Party right now but let's be clear - it is not of Jeremy Corbyn's making.
