To be honest labour just needs to get all the de-selections and subsequent party split done and dusted, and out of the way.

No, an MP represents their contituents ( after forming a view of what is in their intetests ).

Agreed. Labour has to deselect pretty much all their MPs, and they can form a new group in Parliament - the Blue Labour Red Tories, or something - who can select their own leader, and then fight it out with the labour activists at the next election.

In a Parliamentary democracy, the role of an elected MP is to form a judgement on what is best for their constituents, and from that view represent them. It is not to follow the dictatorship of party activists.
