Aw come on Bill, you know that’s not how General Elections work; rightly or wrongly the LDs aren’t thought of as a potential govt. at the best of times, and June was NOT the best of times for the LDs.
The LDs were in a slump in June as a. they had a thoroughly unconvincing leader in Farron and their base still hasn’t forgiven them for the coalition. You can’t assess the possible fortunes of a pro-Remain Labour based on how the LDs did in June.
Labour’s surge in June was at least as much a reaction to the shambolic & dishonest Tory govt. as it was enthusiasm for Corbyn and this shambolic dishonesty was most strongly manifest in Brexit. What we have with Labour…
… is a pro-Hard Brexit leadership at the head of a Remainers party with an at least Brexit-sceptic base. And the party knows this; that’s why they’re being so maddeningly vague (ie. dishonest) about Brexit.
They’re giving the base just enough grey area to carry on kidding themselves that Corbyn’s suddenly going to have some sort of Remain epiphany once in office, whereas in reality he’s the SOURCE of Labour anti-Europeanism
Meanwhile, you’ve got at least HALF the electorate who didn’t vote for Brexit being told by BOTH main parties their votes are not wanted.
MILLIONS of votes, left unclaimed and millions of voters told to go fuck themselves. It’s madness.
MILLIONS of votes, left unclaimed and millions of voters told to go fuck themselves. It’s madness.
Make no mistake; the Tories are to blame for Brexit as they initiated the whole absurd process purely to shore up their OWN support base, but right now, LABOUR is the party that’s making Brexit happen.
