X : Do you think Labour should support a Peoples vote?
Me : No. I want us to focus on winning a general election under Corbyn and not trying to find reasons to get rid of Corbyn.
Many of the peoplesvote crowd that I know are opposed to Corbyn, all crocodile smiles and daggers behind the back. If Labour support it and win, they'll claim it was the peoplesvote & demand he goes for not supporting earlier. If we lose, they'll blame Corbyn not the peoplesvote.
I'd rather just focus on Labour winning under Corbyn ... I'm not interested in these other games.
X : But if Labour decide to support a Peoplesvote, would you still vote for them?
Me : Of course. I think it would be unwise but a Labour victory under Corbyn is far more important to me than Brexit either way.
However, because I want to see Labour win a general election under Corbyn is exactly why I don't agree with the idea of Labour supporting a Peoplesvote.
X : You seem to think that Peoplesvote is a vote loser? If you look at the polls ...
Me : Polls aren't considering seats and voting distribution. To support a peoplesvote would probably cost Labour any general election and be used to try and oust Corbyn. That's why some want it.
