Why is it bad for the Labour party/government to stay neutral if there was new referendum ?

For this to matter they’ll have had to have stormed to a huge upset victory and will be basking in the new Government glow. Few prime ministers are as popular as they are in the first few months. If Labour refuse to back Remain I believe that’ll influence people in what is bound to be a narrow vote.

Yeah but Labour are the ones that can form some sort of Government

This is neither here nor there. Either Labour get a clear majority or the Lib Dems do well and Labour form some sort of pact with them. Either way, it happens, so it’s not a differentiating factor.

If they can get elected on a manifesto of staying neutral then thats 100% the right thing to do
Problem is we are going to have 6 weeks or so of continual do you prefer to remain or leave... and when people spout the party line the question will be what do you personally think... or how did you vote before and have you changed your mind
Its the biggest issue in the election and I think this policy will be death by 1000 cuts for them in the election campaign... but I guess we will find out over the next few weeks

More reason to vote Labour, no ? But fair enough.

That not going to happen as the Lib Dem history shows. They simply don't work with the Labour Party.

The Brexit Party. They're right wing, but the more votes they get, the less likely it is that Brexit actually happens.

Same as any other passionate remainer - vote for whoever's most likely to beat the Tory in your area.
 
After PMQs, Corbyn’s spokesman told journalists:

As we demanded of Theresa May and she refused to agree, we would challenge Boris Johnson to agree today to head-to-head TV debates in this campaign.
But when asked about a three-way discussion with Swinson, the spokesman replied:
We are in discussion with the broadcasters. But there are only two people who can be prime minister at the end of this campaign and I think the British public have a clear right to see them debate head-to-head on TV and hear their cases.

Corbyn's not taking part then? Hohoho!

Boris will go for a Big panel type debate and Corbyn will be a chicken (again) if he does not take part

Colin it's a predominately left wing forum what do you expect?

Exactly. You'd see the same on RAWK. The question on the poll isn't "Who do you think will win?" but "Who are you voting for?"

Think we've had this discussion before but Colin keeps getting his knickers in a twist at the idea that some forums are predominantly left wing.

We know that odds are pretty certain that the Conservatives will be the largest party again. Doesn't mean we have to vote for them though if they don't align with our political beliefs.

Brighton one is more spread out and has more replies than our thread: https://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?376151-The-General-Election-Thread

Telegraph did an article a few years back: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...lain-politics-labour-dominate-the-premier-le/

Bit basic as it just goes into the postcode of the club but generally it matches up.

Corbyn and the Labour Party get as much abuse as the Torys, yet, still, 50% of the Forum would be happy to vote for him.

Not as much point criticising the Tories if we all already agree that they are a bunch of incompetent arseholes.
