While the Conservative party is enjoying its overwhelming victory in the legislative elections on Thursday, the Labor party is still in shock from a resounding historic failure. Many Labor MPs and voters attack Jeremy Corbyn violently and publicly and want him to resign as quickly as possible.
With our correspondent in London, Muriel Delcroix
Jeremy Corbyn may well defend tooth and nail his campaign strategy, his neutrality on Brexit and his political program on the whole left, the concert of recriminations against him intensifies within his own camp. For his detractors, Jeremy Corbyn and his Momentum movement are entirely responsible for this slump.
Labor Wes Streeting is also formal: for this deputy from a constituency in north London and one of the survivors of the poll, this heavy defeat must signal the end of Corbynism.
" They had everything they wanted for this election: they had the leader they wanted, the program they wanted, they even had the Brexit policy they wanted. The only thing they lacked that they couldn't control was the electorate, he said . And the Labor Party has just learned once again at its expense that the type of far left policy that we have proposed to this country does not pass on to the voters. We must propose a center-left policy capable of gaining the confidence of the country to enable us to govern . "
Now is the time for introspection within a very divided Labor which will take time to heal its wounds. Because if Jeremy Corbyn intends to remain in command while ensuring his succession and to make his leftist movement survive, a good part of his deputies will do everything to bring the party back to the center of the political chessboard, the only way according to them d '' ensure the future of their training.
