Agreed - some of the arguments against him from the left are reminiscient of tories' 'labour are unelectable (if you don't vote for them because they're unelectable)'. If corbyn had more suport he may feel readier to push the envelope (though a handful of trots probably wouldn't have swung it anyway). There is a similarity with blair in 97: corbyn like blair is constrained by his party, and yes he's arguably given too much ground, but he'd have given less if he felt he could . If corbyn got the power, he's more likely to be doing a reverse blair surely (ie being more left wing than he said he'd be rather than less like blair). I'm sick of the eu debate anyway (even if we leave in october we've still got 5 years of doing a deal to come) - i see the choice between neoliberal EU and neoliberal brexit as unimportant compared to our only chance of socialism in the near future - in or out of the EU, the lack of socialism is what will affect my class rather than which flavour of neoliberal rules us.
