On top of that they have to reflect the fact that the vast majority of labour members voted remain, recognising also that the deal finally achieved should in fairness also reflect the majority of people in the middle ground, the non extremes on Brexit. Obviously this comes at a big cost because the extremes on both sides are pulling their parties to pieces, the BP and lib Dems being the beneficiaries.
No one really wins in this. Its a godawful **** up as the extremes are too numerous across the parties and no consensus or compromise can be achieved by anyone. The outcome, as it stands, looks like another minority government. But as a brexit agnostic, I hope that this is labour led, with loads in common with the greens and Plaid, we can start to start to make inroads into reversing some of the dreadful policies inflicted on our communities in the last 10 years. But I would agree that we will most likely fight the election with Corbyn now a net liability
