EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Because fudge is death on the doorstep.

Why is it important to people that he commits (before we know what leaving would look like)?

I also don't see why it is such an issue that he stays neutral. In a lot of ways it makes sense.

The problem is the same as ever - his personality and delivery.

Someone like Blair or Cameron would have the ability to steadfastly hold the line of non-partisanship and both own it and sell it.

I don't think it's that important that Corbyn commits. I think what's important is the party has a consistent policy.

You get some MPs (I think Thornberry maybe) saying the intention is to support remain, Corbyn saying he'll remain neutral, etc.

It's just all a bit disjointed and doesn't make it look like a cohesive party. The mixed messages mean they piss everyone off.
