There's also the possible calculation that Corbyn will be way behind in the polls and that therefore the establishment will play a long game. If Cameron has a big lead this may be a solution, and the problem of a Corbyn-style leader is kicked forward to 2025.
This seems to me the most likely outcome.
If he's squashed in 2020, then he will surely leave.
And the likelihood of a Corbyn II in 2025 is surely infinitesimal.

Corbyn is most unlikely to be around in 2025. However the Labour party that has been created is way to the left. The Labour party has rejected the Blair-Brown years. Remember Blair said a few weeks ago that anyone who voted for Corbyn needed a heart transplant: he may be kicked out of the Labour party. We now have a Labour party that is at best a throwback to the 1970s, arguably even further left. Corbyn talks of "progressive" policies. These are in effect Communist policies. The UK now has a Communist party which is well-funded (by the Unions) and which has many MPs, councillors and MEPs. The risk is that in 2025 (or even 2020) Labour finds a young and charismatic leader to front them. In a sense this is the ultimate risk: we have a Communist party masquerading as Labour and with (perhaps) a young woman leading it.

Thankfully Labour are not in power - but the Labour party has become a threat to the UK. The Labour party under Corbyn is the enemy within.

Ooh, but it's a dark picture you limn, Jason.
I can consider this only a very unlikely eventuality.
A situation to watch though.
