If Labour do want to fix any of this then they would need closer trading ties with Europe given they are our largest export market by far but the usual suspects will simply cry foul. As it is we have gone from being round the table in trading negotiations to simply a rule-taker. A national embarrassment.
You are correct the Tories called for the vote but as a balance there were a large amount of Labour voters who voted leave and Corbyn did one of the best fence sitting displays we have ever seen when maybe offering a lead (as perhaps a leader should) woulod have been better.
P.S. Don't think for a second I believe that Cameron did any better.
