Weekly survey: entryism, Labour split and general election performance

Harriet Harman has been urged to halt the leadership contest over claims that there is evidence of widespread entryism from the far left. However, Jeremy Corbyn rejected these claims, saying “The entryism that I see is lots of young people who were hitherto not very excited by politics coming in for the first time.”  What do you think? Are you concerned that people who do not share Labour’s values might vote in the leadership election? Have your say here.

Some have also expressed concern that there could be an SDP-style split following the leadership election. Labour donor , John Mills, warned this could happen if Jeremy Corbyn is elected leader. However, others do not agree with this and think Corbyn would reinvigorate the party. What do you think? How likely do you think it is that there will be a split? 

Finally, how would you rate Labour’s overall performance in this year’s general election? Let us know your thoughts here.

Our weekly survey closes at Noon on Thursday. You can vote here.
