Jeremy Corbyn faced an outcry from senior Labour figures on Monday after the party’s leadership signalled it would try to thwart a move by activists to give the public a chance to reverse Brexit in a second referendum.

Oh dear the big nasty commie (read, not strictly screw the poor capitalist) might stand a chance at winning and he might do something terrible like sit down and actually talk about brexit. Oh the horror!

I find this inconsistent.

Labour are all like "our policies are all agreed upon by our party members, we are Democratic" .

Yet when 80% of labour party members support a second referendum but some ass bag union boss (and big labour donor) says no second referendum Labour say no too.

And on the weekend I was singing their praises for them being grassroots and Democratic. Fuck them.

Better a broken Labour than a strong and stable Torry government.

their efforts, however, were in vain

i suppose this could be a topic for a second thread but i didn't feel like making a second thread for something that is tangentially related to an existing one, unless we're going to have megathreads for every major political party
