I don't buy this "you had your chance" stuff.
Politics is about what people want. So what if they didn't want it when you asked before?

I agree people should be able to change their minds. But where is the democratic mandate for electoral reform?

Yup.
“Get Brexit done” is an excellent tool to use.
Implying it will be over, no need to talk about it anymore and put the focus back in the local community etc.
If Labour use that slogan as it’s very vague since it can mean 2nd referendum or even revoke A50, it would be a different story altogether.

Labour had a chance in 2011 to get behind electoral reform in the referendum for PR. At the time they chose not to campaign for it because the current FPTP system was benefiting them and PR would have benefitted parties like the Greens and LD (who were in their 21st century peak having gained enough seats to be part of a collation govt.).
They had their chance. Moaning about it now is just sour grapes.
