Why aren't Labour pushing for a referendum on the final deal like the Lib Dems?
Lots of reasons I guess, the main two I would guess are
....because they've lost their traditional base in England to UKIP and probably the Tories soon too and don't want to risk loosing more. Whilst knowing that they lack the competencey to spin the reason for blocking the vote over workers rights issues.
...because they (rightly or wrongly) think that as the 2nd party if they get into bed with the SNP, Lib Dems and Greens they will forever be viewed as a weak nothing party.
Oh and that point up there about a vote out being representative of their constituents.

I think the current Labour leadership takes for granted the support of the middle-class left and is focusing on shoring up its working class base. So the Lib Dems are angling for the middle-class left vote.

So much this. This result should be a win for the opposition but Corbyn is so weak it's business as usual.
