They represent their constituents, first and foremost, which is a far broader sample of the British electorate than that which voted Corbyn into leadership.
And given that one of Ed's many dubious actions as leader of the Labour Party was to open the leadership election to any idiot with £3 to spare, I don't think anyone who follows politics in any way at all, is taken in by all that "massive mandate" guff.
Corbyn was elected by soap dodging Trots and gleeful Tory infiltrators, all of whom taken together account for a minuscule proportion of the electorate he will ask to support him in 2020.
If he is still in charge at the next election, it will be a bloodbath.
