In the US we have a 2 party system which, if it is going away, is not going away quickly. You can use the internet to build quickly coalitions online, but the only way to translate the policies of your coalitions to the parties is by getting off the keyboard and into the party. The DLC took over the Democrats 30 years ago really quickly (one senate election cycle) by showing up in force. It can be done even quicker today, but change isn’t going to happen if people disappointed by the primary decide the party is hopeless and don’t do anything.
I think the situation in England is a little different, taking over a party is harder (making Corbyn’s achievement more impressive), but I do think Labour is worth saving as a brand.
