Labour's Brexit policy.
They assume Brussels will be willing to reopen negotiations on the WA - yet again but......................... it gets better
Corbyn refuses to say to anyone – including, those he will be negotiating with - whether, when such a deal is concluded, he and his government will actually support it.
That's the most sensible bit.
Labour says that, before it puts any new deal to voters, it must first be approved by party members. So, Brussels must not only accept that its negotiating partner may conclude a deal and then not support that deal in the subsequent referendum, but that the deal might not even be put to voters at all if Labour members reject it. In a poll, 88% of Labour party members voted to Remain. Think about it? I'm sure Barnier will.
This is, in all seriousness, the plan Labour has for Brexit. This is the plan Labour thinks voters should welcome.
What about the actual deal Labour wants?
To be a member of the customs union and aligned closely to the single market's rules. In other words, under Labour's "best deal," we would have to follow whatever the EU decided to do, without the slightest influence on or involvement in the decision making.
The 52 per cent of voters who voted Leave in 2016 will be told that their vote counted for nothing and the only two options they will be allowed to have will be membership of the EU, with influence on its decisions, or a new form of membership, with no influence at all.
Already, despite having no idea of this deal that the Labour party will be negotiating, many senior members of the would-be cabinet, Thornbury and Starmer among them, have said that they will campaign against it. And the "Leader" of the Labour party, on what's probably the most important national matter since WW2? He intends to remain "neutral".
Total "faikin" Alice in Wonderland stuff.
