He seems to be making the assumption that if you are choosing not to vote Labour due to their refusal to back a referendum then you'd vote for Farage, which I have to say I'm struggling with somewhat.
Or possibly LibDem, which would also enable Farage to win.
I suspect the reality is that no one who would consider voting Farage would currently vote Labour, given the Labour commitment to a customs union as this, we are told repeatedly "isn't really Brexit".
The voters that Labour is going to lose to the LibDems, Greens and CHUK are those who won't vote for a Brexit party, he gets this right. But then why has Labour twice voted for a referendum and then refused to back it in their manifesto for the EU elections? Given that to do so would lose them zero votes, and would potentially gain them many.
Makes no sense, from a strategic perspective.
