They may have gone revoke A50 and be losing even more than now. If they had done that would you be applauding Corbyn?
YES!!! That.
A moderate capable leader with a decent approval rating combined with a revoke policy from day one and Labour would have cleaned up (in 2017 or this time) and this would all have been over with a vast number of people applauding. (Including some EU undecideds and tame Brexiteers who just want this over one way or another as fast as possible.)
There was no credible remain option in 2017, if Labour with a decent leaded had chosen that route they’d have hoovered up votes like crazy.
…but that wouldn’t suit momentum/Corbyn/Abbot/MacDonnel because you can’t have real socialism within the EU and Corbyn’s wing of the party won’t had over to a moderate leadership.
I’m not saying that’s wrong, in their terms they’re doing exactly the right thing, but I’m saying people *would* be applauding if they’d done it.
