Who Will replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader

Didn't a significant number of people join Labour specifically to vote for Corbyn in leadership and general elections? If these people are still members yet no longer interested in Labour you'll get more turnout. Also worth factoring Labour having just been soundly beaten on the GE, meaning this who've joined to support the GE effort may also be disengaged.

A low turnout can be the result of several things; external circumstances, the quality of the field, inevitability of one party winning or losing, apathy and so on. It isn't likely to be a reflection on one candidate.

You can only judge one candidate on the votes from those who did turn out. On that measure he walked out.

It's a very beige choice in a sea of brown, but win it convincingly he did.

My take from limited knowledge I have is that there were AS problems in the party. The central function responsible for processing complaints and allegations sat on AS ones amongst others to make the problem worse in order to pile pressure on Corbyn. Corbyn didn't have sufficient support in the central function to make them do what they were supposed to.

To some degree that might exonerate Corbyn in AS, though it makes him look entirely feeble if he can't muster control of his own party's central functions.

It also makes the Party itself look like a horrible pit of aholes.

Don't we know who replaced JC as Labour Leader now?

Yes, the Conservatives and many on here celebrated that news, and the disappearance into obscurity of Corbyn, last week!
