  • Yep you are right there... and I don't understand this fascination with leaving the EU as most Labour voters didn't want to leave the EU.

    If Labour would say "We only leave it it doesn't make things worse for workers/people affected by the EU in a negative manner/people getting EU community funding (so many charities in NI need it)"

    But they seem to really go for the people that want to leave the EU cos globalisation, but those steel and coal mines aren't coming back.

    Don't get me wrong the EU is mostly a trade block and it needs to do a lot more to re-dive wealth within it. And its refugee position atm is very doubtful.

    But Labour isn't in power ATM so they risk making things even worse.

    Don't disagree, but I'd still argue that in balance (especially given the current political climate) we're so better off in it should never have been a question.

    Corbyn was refusing to rule out campaigning for Britain to leave as late as July 2015. It should never have been a question, at all, and his apparent damascene conversion should be placed in the context of the amount of time he has been a politician versus the amount of time he has apparently had a change of heart on the matter.

    Soooo. It isn't his principled opinion that the UK should leave the EU?
