• Even if Labour wins snap election, mad lad wants Brexit anyway

Why did anyone think Corbyn wanted to remain? He's been very clear he wants a brexit so he can introduce his economic policies that were banned in the EU
A lot of his nationalisation plans were illegal under EU law, I believe his PQE plans were also illegal as well.
Not how it works. There is no such thing as an 'essentially binding' referendum in English law, and there can never be one because that would be unconstitutional. It's either a binding referendum or it's advisory, and there currently exists no weird hybrid. This referendum was not binding, and there can be no strings attached to that, so please don't try and present it as such - the legal status of the referendum trumps all, so it doesn't matter how it was portrayed/presented if, at the end of the day, it was solely advisory.
The poisonous idiot who is Sargon, and an ex-eSports who got into "debating" to stroke his own ego. Man, if this is what passes for our own generation's "greatest minds", we're screwed, dying planet or not.
Corbyn sure does perfer to remain in opposition.
Destiny at the very least puts the effort in to research whatever the fuck he's debating at the time. He'll admit he does (well, did, I think he stopped) it because it hits that ego spot well, but he can usually cite you to the paragraph where he gets his data for a point from. Sargon, alternatively, might be allergic to books and letters.
He and Labour campaigned for remain in the referendum purely to oppose the Tories campaigning for leave. A lot of people came to associate the Labour party with opposition to Brexit, and they consequently had a major boost from remainer votes.
Officially labour did, but Corbyn has always been quite clear he doesn't like the eu. His remain campaign was so half-arsed
Actually he did say that on a scale from 1 to 10 he rated his support for the EU at about "7, or 7 and a half." He went on to say he wanted to be part of an EU that focused on social cohesion and human rights, but after the referendum he flipped position and went full-on respect-the-result. I wonder how much of a difference it would have made if he campaigned for Remain as hard as he campaigned during the snap election. Could it have made that 2% difference?
So the way I see it is we're fucked either way basically. No revote and both of the largest parties are throwing themselves into a spiked pit because of reasons. Living in a world gone mad is not what I signed up for, when did people lose their common sense? Unbelievable.
