Corbyn didn’t want to. Goes against what he believes in. He doesn’t believe in leadership in the traditional sense, he wanted to democratise the party and make the change come from the bottom.
He couldn’t. There were only about 20 left MPs at the time. If he had purge half the party would have left and that would be very bad optics especially through UK’s right wing media. this was part of the reason why he didn’t fully democratise the party and push through with mandatory reselection. Right wing wreckers kept threatening to leave and some did.
Labour members voted for Corbyn for his idealism but they needed John McDonnell because he has the balls to lead.
He would have defended himself from smears. He would have stood up for himself against the media. He wouldn’t have taken as much shit from MPs. He would have had a different type of staff working for him. His political ideology is also a bit different, Corbyn is a bit more of an idealist. He probably would have been more strategic with appointments.
Then again part of Corbyn’s appeal is how fucking pure he is.
