no shit, you really don't have to be a poli sci major to understand that people want an option for a strong binary choice on brexit even though its obviously a spectrum of choices in reality.
wow so you're denying the identities of Brexit nonbinary people??? so much for the tolerant left!

Isn't Jeremy Corbyn basically unelectable?
Only due to his stance on Brexit.
Not really, he's just becoming a fence-sitter and a spouter of political gospel, as opposed to doing...uh, anything. The official opposition is supposed to hold the government accountable, except Corbyn is USUALLY pretty bad at that, mostly because he takes the high road unless provoked, whereas May will gladly fling insults around. But Corbyn has outdone himself in inadequacy these past few months because he's now even bad at being meek. Were it not for FPTP, I'd wager that the Lib Dems would be the official opposition either by now or within a couple of years.
Corbyn should have seen this coming. You can't play middle-man on everything, especially not when it comes to huge (inter)national issues like Brexit. You can't blame people for preferring the Lib Dems to Labour; Vince may have limited charisma but at least he can stick to his decided party position. Labour only looks like they're doing decent because, compared to the Tories, they're in the stars.
Haha, ok «cis» joshb nice try
he has a 6 point aggregate lead over the conservatives, who our polls historically overestimate. if there were a general election soon he really might become prime minister. not too bad for a guy who was considered the death knell of the party a few years ago
You three should know, that his party is still on first place of winning for the next general election a least for now. According to majorly all the national polls.
As has been said before, he's doing relatively well because the Tories are abysmal at the moment. The Conservatives are falling apart, and one poll put them at only getting around 120 seats in an election. That in itself is horrendous, and the lowest in decades, but in the UK that usually translates as the opposition being miles ahead. But Labour aren't miles ahead. They're polling around 28-35%, which is fine under normal circumstances, but these aren't normal circumstances. If your main rival is the political embodiment of diarrhoea yet you're still only polling in the mid-thirties MAXIMUM, that's not a sign you're particularly well-liked. With a crisis like this, and the Tories coming undone like a ball of string, Labour should be projecting at at least 375 seats, in my opinion (Blair got over 400). No poll puts them even close to that.
It's a bit disturbing how badly the Remain and fence-sitting parties are being battered into submission by the Milky Brigade of Nigel Runaway, Sargon of Akkad and Definitely Not Battered Wife Syndrome Woman whose name escapes me. If everyone who supported the currently losing side of this generation-defining issue would drop their party egos for a while and band together, we'd have one big battle of 'The Remain Coalition' versus 'The Brexit Party' rather than the hugely unified Brexit Party who have absolutely zero ability to run a country let alone deliver a 'sunlit uplands' Brexit, versus a bunch of smaller squabbling people arguing about their alignment left, centre or right. We just can't afford to fight over that right now.
Don't forget Count Dankula in that leave roundup - the dude who, upon being called a Nazi, immediately ran away and joined the Nazis
