Yes, but ultimately it's still a choice. Like sure, I would not like to start from here, but it's still legitimate to complain about what is ultimately just poor leadership.

I also think the not defenestrating leaders thing is mostly bc the members are consistently well to the left of the PLP and so the PLP is constantly failing to degenerate from the right. Defenestrating from the left, one shot one kill

Honestly I just think its institutional: the barrier to getting a Labour leader out is just a lot higher than in the Conservative Party, which does tend to result in some fatalism.

So a move against Starmer is more like the move against Blair than against Brown, Miliband or Corbyn
