I think there are quite a few Labour supporters who don't want him to go for this reason. Labour has to say they want him out because otherwise it looks stupid but I would imagine inside Labour they are thinking they are better off with the devil they know. It's a gamble who would win the Tory Leadership and some candidates would scare them more than others.
Alternatively, they might be thinking if he goes later then a new leader might be able to run into the next election with a cleaner slate and they want the next year of economic turmoil to be inherited by the next leader.
