That’s you projecting, many people voted Labour because they liked the manifesto, others because they didn’t want to vote Tory. Some certainly voted for Labour because they thought they opposed Brexit, but not all.

I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with me on, Andy - I'm saying that Labour captured a certain number of floating voters due to their perception that Labour had a Remain stance, I'm not saying everyone who voted Labour did so because of that.
I think Labour is likely to lose those voters it pulled across from Cons/LD's based on Labour defining itself as a hard-Brexit party.
Dammit
But a large number of them thought that they did - in Labour. That's part of the reason that May lost her majority, as floating voters went to Labour as they were perceived as opposing Brexit.
