10. Corbyn has been a colossal disapointment

I am totally understand why he got elected in the first place, but he has not been any good as leader of the opposition. He's much too set in his ways to adapt to the role he has been elected to by Labour members. He's failed to hold the government to account on the biggest issues and has allowed internal infighting and anti-Semitism to fester. The problem with Corbyn is not that he is too "left wing". It's much more basic than that.

But he has almost cultish levels of support from certain sections of the left. As the 2016 leadership election showed, it is virtually impossible to get rid of him at the present time. The result is that MP's are starting to leave the party and this will make it much harder for Labour to get elected and implement socialism.
