Official figures reaching the Labor Party indicate a mass abandonment by Labor members of the party's ranks in protest of the views of party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
According to reports in the local media, at a special Labour leadership meeting held last week, Corbyn was informed that 60,000 members had already left the party, and that the number would soon climb to 100,000, all due to Corbin's views and the people with whom he associates, which are causing discomfort to many in the party.
