    Labour Brexit policy

    Just to check I have this right

    - Negotiate a new deal (based on staying in customs union & of "workers rights")
    - Get the deal through parliament (likely?)
    - Put the deal to a referendum (just to rerun the arguments)
    - Labour will not campaign either way (even though it is their deal)
    - (their deputy & MP's wants remain, Corbyn hates the EU, half their voters want leave, Unions want leave)
    - If result is no - go back to GO

    This seems straightforward for the next 3 years to heal divisions in parliament and the people

    At least the Lib Dem's I suppose would end this on Day 1.

    There is no Labour Brexit policy apart from hoping and praying for chaos they can exploit.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Didn't Labour promise in their previous GE manifesto to abide by the results of the first EU referendum?

      Just asking, like...

        They lied.

        Oh wait. Only the leave party lies. All the others tell the truth. God I am thick.....

            Mostly correct. The bit that is wrong is point 5; polls show that Labour voters mostly support remain (something like 60:40) so in fact, Corbyn is at odds with his support base.

            Everything else seems about right.

            This is why, if you want to Remain you vote Lib Dem. If you want to Leave vote Brexit Party/Tory. If you want to destroy the Tories vote for them, give them a majority, let them have hard Brexit and they'll never get into power again once everyone feels what a hard brexit is like.

                We didn't have a referendum about joining the EU.

                  or perhaps vote Labour and get a taste of Marxist policies and then the electorate will never vote Labour again, always supposing that the Marxist dictatorship allows another election.
