Corbyn was elected on a landslide of support from Party members and claims he must remain leader to do right by the grassroots supports who put him in this position. After all, Corbyn won the last leadership contest with a huge 59.5% of the vote.
But do they still stand by him?
Already, there are reports that 13,000 people joined Labour last week and most of them did so to support the party's under pressure leader Jeremy Corbyn, according to ITV's political editor Robert Peston. There was even a march in London where people voiced support for Corbyn.
However, there are also Labour members who are upset with Corbyn, blaming him for Britain voting for a Brexit because he did not do enough to convince Labour supporters to back the "Remain" campaign.
If there is a fresh leadership vote it is likely Corbyn will stand again and it is the Party members who will vote on the new leader.
Business Insider has spoken to a range of Labour Party members, asking them whether they support Corbyn or not. Take a look at what they said and how the split in the votes means Corbyn could still be around for a long time:
