Guess we'll just have to see how things go thenSo why does Corbyn favour a general election then? Its polling as poorly, in a straightforward approve/disapprove poll?
Corbyn backs a general election over a second referendum because EU does not allow for socialists to do socialism so leaving the EU is an essential part of doing socialism, nationalizing stuff etc. The Leave campaign would also be really easy to run, just say some stuff like "The elites don't give a fukk about our democratic vote, they're just going to keep redoing the referendum until you vote how they want you to." Feel like a lot of Remainers overestimate the ease at which the vote would go for their side.
Any socialist worth their salt is not for the EU, as the EU continually undermines labour movements even in countries that aren't full members but members of the EEA such as Norway.
Certainly hope Labour wins the next election, and even if they don't there most likely would not have been a better man for the job. Labour's first seat gain in 20 years came under his leadership, I don't see how another Blairite could've brought Labour into any victory, and I don't see a soft left leader like Milliband working out either.
Norway’s Bad Deal
Really worth the read, from an actual Norwegian socialist on why the EU is bad for socialists and just the labour movement in general. Note that Norwegian opposition to the EU comes from across the political spectrum with only the wealthy being all for it
