Yes, you're probably right about all of that, sadly. Maybe though some of the Labour MPs who are there for the right reasons (they're not all careerists, surely?) might see this as an opportunity to be part of a movement away from the Blairites though.

Absolutely. I'm sure (well no... I hope) there are plenty of Labour MPs who will embrace a return to genuine left-wing policies. But there will be a fair number who have spent the past 15 years putting as much distance between them and The Left as they could; and certainly not all of them will make the journey back.
