A few of the Momentum members i know joined the group prior to Corbyn's election as leader. They were not Corbynites / Ultra Left and joined to try to put a halt to the surge to the right.
After the Lib Dems ill fated power sharing with the Tories a vacuum existed in the centre ground and some were happy, even eager, to ditch their principals to move into the space. Some weren't too eager to let it happen.
