X: What's your view on brexit collapsing but Corbyn as the new PM?
Me : A win. As with most things in life, it's a question of compromises and what is more important. For me, a Labour Government under Corbyn is more important than brexit. Obviously, I'd prefer both.
X : Do you think Corbyn should oppose brexit?
Me : No. As I said, what's more important for me is a Labour Government under Corbyn not brexit or not. I view the path they are following is fine. The Tory party is in open civil war and has become a party of a divided soft brexit.
... I take the view that there has long existed a viable compromise option along the EEA / EFTA path which gives both camps most of what they wish. The fact the Conservatives have dismissed the Norway option with mostly myth is ... fine by me. I am happy to watch them implode.
X : But there is talk of some Labour MPs supporting the Government in order to avoid a hard brexit.
Me : I hope not. There was enough poor behaviour over the GE. I would expect that by the now the majority of the PLP wouldn't consider such behaviour but instead support Corbyn.
X: Avoiding #brexit is more important than party.
Me : If that is your view then you should be voting Conservative - - naturally, I don't agree with you.
X : But I'm not a Tory.
Me : At some point, you're going to have to decide what matters more.
