Any theories as to how long May can delay a new election?

40. To clarify, I wasn't condemning every single expulsion. Misogynists should be expelled.

Jackie Walker and probably Livingstone had it coming.

Corbyn willingly expelled O'Hara and the other misogynists, btw...he didn't have to be forced to accept those.

The prohibitive majority of expulsions were based on the excessively rigid definition of anti-Semitism the NEC just adopted that allows virtually ANY criticism of the Israeli government's security policies, OR even support for a single secular democratic state if you've come to believe that too much land has been stolen for the illegal settlements to make a separate Palestinian state possible anymore.

If a person is a committed antiracist, they shouldn't have to prove they are also an opponent of anti-Semitism. There's almost no one who says "I'm against hate-except for this ONE group".

Also, no one should have ever have been expelled or be simply for calling someone a "Blairite", or for being a member of the pro-Corbyn CLP of an anti-Corbyn MP(an MP who probably got her or his start by being imposed as candidate years earlier against the wishes of the CLP and has treated the CLP with no respect at all since), or simply for being part of Momentum, a legitimate organization that has as much right to be part of Labour politics as anyone else..

And the 200,000 people who were kicked out on spurious grounds during the 2015 leadership revote should be readmitted. They weren't thugs, they weren't misogynists, and they didn't deserve to be kicked out just because of who they were likely to vote for.
