Just to set out my stall.

  • I voted Conservative at the last election as I thought a Labour government would be calamitous
  • I voted to remain in the EU as I thought Brexit was a mistake
I still think a Labour government would be calamitous, but I also think the Brexit process so far has been an utter shambles and the EU have us by the balls and are squeezing tightly.

So if you voted remain, and also didn't vote for Labour, could you vote for Corbyn if he promised to reverse Brexit?

FWIW I don't think I could. I also think the Brexit debacle is too far along the road now for us to turn back unfortunately.

Be interested to see other viewpoints on this.

How wonderful - another tosh Brexit thread.

Have a look at the poll here.

The answer is blindingly obvious.

I'm hazarding a guess you voted both Conservative and Brexit?

It's an interesting question

How much damage could a Labour government do in 1 term? HOL and HOC would reign in any real stupidity.

Would I believe JC could/would halt Brexit? He's a Eurosceptic after all.

Good way of looking at things, but I doubt that I could force myself to vote for him. Even if I was sure that he would do his best.

It's not whether he would stop Brexit, but whether he'd SAY he'd stop Brexit - to get votes.

Given Corbyn is anti-EU and pro-brexit; I can't see him offering that.

HTH.

Fortunately, PH is unrepresentative of the wider world. This is the place that once predicted a UKIP government in one of the "How will you vote" polls. Also countless Tory landslides.

See what I mean?

Naive to assume that Corbyn would not be able to implement his plans. If the Momentum-controlled NEC now push for mandatory re-selection of candidates then Corbyn could be backed by a parliamentary majority of hard left MPs. The House of Lords would simply be abolished.

Nothing stopping Corbyn reversing his position on Brexit in opposition only to change his mind once again when in power.

As Labour moves towards reversing Brexit - today it’s the customs union, soon it will be the single market - it looks like the question posed by the OP may be a real choice should there be another early election.


“Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to back the UK being in a permanent customs union with the EU in a speech setting out his approach to Brexit.

The policy shift could lead to Labour siding with Tory rebels to defeat Theresa May on her Brexit strategy.”

I would still not vote for him even if he offered me £10m quid and a cake.

Labour cant be trusted with the economy.

A customs union is probably the worst outcome, we'd have to play by all of the rules, with no influence on them and no freedom outside of them.

And no, nothing could make me vote for Corbyn.
