Corbyn loves the Labour Party and what he thinks i t stands for. This is, paradoxically, his greatest weakness. Let's face it, he's not the kind of guy that relishes power and using it to stamp his visiion, his authority on the party and crush his enemies, humiliate them. He doesn't want the party to split because of him, so he 'compromises' repeatedly. His enemies don't give a #### about the party or the voters and are prepared to split the party in order to undermine his position, which might be strengthened after the next election. His enemies are ready to spill blood and are cynical and ruthless, everything Corbyn isn't. It's his principles that make him so vulnerable. He lacks the 'killer instinct' which every great commander needs if he's to be successful on the battlefield. Of course Corbyn doesn't like to think of it as a battlefield, a civil war without actual fighting in the streets. That's all so crude and nasty, brutal and childish. There has to be a better way, surely?
