The Labour party is waking up to a world of existential pain. Or, rather, it's not waking up to it - which is itself part of the problem.
Question the first: what is the Labour Party's reason for existence?
Question the second: does it have a person willing and able to lead it to some sort of future in which it continues to have a reason for existence?
Right now I think (2) is "no", and (1) is "ummmm I don't know".

Labour seem to have gotten themselves into this weird position where they have (a) a leadership contest and (b) a long, extensive review of the party and its poor performance, meaning that they’ll either have to wait for the outcome of the review and have no leader for a good while, or decide on their leader before the review is done. So that’s pretty stupid.
