Will Jeremy Corbyn stand down as Labour leader if he loses the 2017 General Election?
SINCE Jeremy Corbyn first was elected as Labour leader in September 2015 he has faced a barrage of criticism - from the public, journalists, and even his own MPs.
But he has made it perfectly clear that he WON’T quit as Labour leader even though people want him to.
Recent polls have shown him making gains for the party - and he is likely to try to hold onto power even if he loses tonight.
He told BuzzFeed earlier in the campaign that he would be "carrying on" regardless of the result.
He said: "I was elected leader of this party and I’ll stay leader of this party."
His comments will irritate moderate Labour MPs who failed to oust him after the EU referendum last year.
A slow drip of resignations from the Shadow Cabinet failed to have the desired impact - and many of them have re-entered the fold since.
172 of the party's MPs called for him to stand down in a vote of no confidence, but he refused to budge.
He went on to win a second leadership election against Owen Smith last year with an even bigger share of the vote than before.

Mr Corbyn has dodged talking about what will happen if Labour lose out to the Conservatives, for what could be the third time in a row this evening.
In the local elections back in May, the Tories gained more than 550 council seats and knocked Labour off Glasgow Council - but Mr Corbyn vowed to battle on.
Labour lost more than 300 seats - far more than was predicted, and Theresa May's party had their best results in a decade.
And back in February Labour was kicked out of Copeland, and replaced by the Conservatives despite being a historic stronghold since 1983.
Many of Mr Corbyn's allies will be unwilling to see him stand down and risk losing control of the party.
Labour Party election co-ordinator Ian Lavery has said that the “Corbyn project” and his hard-left policies are still only at “the beginning”.
Team Corbyn is prepared to argue that if he increases his share of the vote from the 30.4% Ed Miliband won in 2015, he should be allowed to stay in post.
But survey conducted by YouGov of Labour members saw 68% of the party say he should not continue as leader if the fails to win.
Some MPs are already talking of fresh attempts to kick him out if they lose as expected tonight.
One told the Evening Standard: "For Jeremy, it's win or go."
Another said that if they had a different leader "we could have won this election. The problem is he is toxic with some people."
It all rests on tonight and how many seats Labour can hold on to.
If they lost a few but win more of the vote - he could cling on to power for a little while longer.
But if Theresa May wins a landslide and leaves his party facing the electoral wilderness, maybe even he will consider standing down.
