But this time, the Bennite's won, and they have placed the party into some violent death throws.
Firstly their stance on Trident, strong but not with the majority of the party.
Then there's their pasts coming back to haunt them on a regular basis.
Firstly, Jeremy's connections with the IRA, and his friendship ex-IRA leader Gerry Adams.
As well as McDonnell getting stung from his past words on the IRA, saying that they should have been awarded for their efforts during their siege against Britain.
More words that came back to haunt McDonnell were him claiming that if he could go back in time, he would "assassinate Thatcher." What a nice man!
Another thing to come a hang over Corbyn is his closeness with groups such as Hamas, and Hezbollah, calling them "friends", and inviting them for talks with parliament.
Even speaking at some rallies where, quite visibly and clearly, signs of violence were being held up/
Then there's his and McDonnell's actual problem of leadership itself.
Their first ever Parliamentary Labour Party meeting was a complete disaster, with one female MP telling Diane Abbott to "f*ck off" by new Labour MP Jess Phillips.
Ben Bradshaw MP said the meeting was "a complete f*cking shambles."
Of course it's not all down to just Corbyn and his Shadow Chancellor who are scuppering Labour's few credentials that they had.
Ex lover of Corbyn, Diane Abbott has also had her fair share of shambles.
Most recently today, although we do go back to McDonnell being the reason, when it was pointed out that McDonnell was picture holding a poster for Socialist Campaign for a Labour victory.
It's headline reads "Our Demands"
In the list is disbandment of the MI5, disarmment of the police, and scrapping Trident.
At first McDonnell denied he signed such a thing, and when Diane Abbott was asked by BBC's Daily Politic's presenter, she said it's probably not true that he signed anything of the sort, and was then quickly shown a picture of him holding the said poster of demands.
Which left Diane Abbott slightly red faced, and unable to answer.
Now he's claiming he didn't read it before being pictured with it.
And of course we have Corbyn's weak stance against ISIS.
Firstly he doesn't want to bomb ISIS at all, he wants to get a political settlement for the innocent people of Syria, by stopping the funding that ISIS receive.
Which would entail making an enemy out of Saudi Arabia, something we don't need to do, or should want to do.
Saudi is a strong country, and one we need to keep onside.
Also, in doing so, we'd need to get Russia, and the USA to agree to do the same, as well as the rest of Europe, an impossible task.
Then there's his stance on shooting to kill, at first he was against shooting suicide bombers, despite the fact that they would of course kill or injure more people, than if police/ army were allowed to just shoot them dead.
Of course he's u-turned (not his first), and said he does back shooting to kill if the bomber represents a threat to others.....
Corbyn is a threat to the Labour party, let alone our national security.
