• Labour messaging is just too vague under Corbyn.

    Plan was: Try to get a GE, if that doesn't work only a confirmatory vote on a "bad deal" uh-oh
    So now it is... try to get a GE, and only get a confirmatory vote on a deal that does go through parliament (Labour can't fix the Tories having a nice leadership contest)

    All the backpedalling/vagueness/refusal to call out the problems with Brexit (a job first Brexit? yeah, lol)/still blaming EU immigration for wage lowering means voters are now just giving up.

    I sorta understand they want to try to keep the UK together by uniting remainers/brexiters with a "soft" Brexit, but the "forever backstop" plan is also not it.

  • Try to get a GE

    They did this though - there was a no confidence in May sometime around last Christmas which she won. To my mind that means that that route has been done.

    Otherwise you can get away with never addressing the 'confirmatory vote' because you're still trying to force a GE.
