    If enacting a coup against a democratically elected left wing leader isn’t a “particularly right wing view” in your book, then perhaps no.

      Coup implies a violent takeover rather than exercising their rights under the party rules and accepting the result when it failed.

          Wow. Not OP. But TIL Born in UK lived in both UK and US. This is the first I am learning the word is different here. Thanks

          That said, the whole way the UK democratic process works. MPs are expected to be the ones to call party leadership into question. Both Labour Party rules and the structure of parliament are designed that way.

          So even though I disagreed with her.

          While coup may be correct. Objecting to a party leader because you disagree with them is in no way right wing.

          To accuse her of being right wing. You honestly need views or policies she supports tha are right of centre.

          Not saying she does or does not have any. With the Overton window so far right atm. It can be hard to agree a line. But objecting to and rebelling against a party leader is not it alone.

      So, no strong right wing views?
