can you be a Corbyn supporter and a remainer?

[lucydogz]

Corbyn has obviously run a popular campaign, partly because he encourages young non-voters to get off their arses and vote. Wouldn't it have been wonderful if he'd done the same for the Referendum campaign, instead of being almost invisable, and very lukewarm when he spoke about the EU?

I am a Remainer and have always rated Corbyn.

If I lived in England I would vote Labour.

However, I vote SNP and have an excellent SNP MP. She really is great.

I can't.

I voted Labour but can't forgive him over Brexit.

Yes. Unfortunately brexit is going to happen so as much as I would prefer not to, I need to accept it.

Now, as a remainer I can choose between a hard brexit being mooted by the Tories, or a slightly softer one from labour. I get the distinct impression labour aren't as keen on the whole idea either so are more likely to strike a deal I prefer.

Not really.

I'm a strong remainer. I've always voted for Labour in the past, but this time I voted for the Lib Dems as a protest. Not voting Labour has actually given me some perspective on the party. I think I will now always vote either Lib Dems or Greens. Corbyn is a nice man but he's wrong about Brexit and the Middle East, in my opinion.

sorry wrong thread

I voted Labour and am a Remainer. Apart from his stance on Brexit, I agree with a lot of Jeremy Corbyn's politics. And in my constituency, the Labour MP is awesome (and actually voted against Brexit) and the Lib Dems had no chance. FWIW my MP kept her seat and massively increased her majority in the end

Yes.

I was a massive remainer (with no vote, cos live in Italy, so kind of have skin in the game). Stayed up all night on here as the results started coming in. But a politician supporting Brexit itself wouldn't be a game changer for me if I agreed with them on other issues.

I've just discovered there is a vague possibility of us getting our vote back, probably only in a distant future with the way things are, but all the same, if I get it back, somebody being a Brexitieer won't be on my check list of "fuck you, not giving you my vote". Neither will being a remainer earn special brownie points. Am pissed off with a fair old slice of them.

I never voted anything other than labour. But two things would have to change before I (fantasy or real) vote labour again. Neither of them is specifically Brexit flavoured.

thank goodness for that jefferson I thought I was going mad.
Bristol West, by any chance N0ne? She has done very well, hasn't she.

Yes, I am a staunch remainer at the moment, but also pro-Corbyn, and in a seat which was libdem labour marginal, with very pro remain demographic, I know many many people who switched to labour this time, who remain remainer, but brexit is one issue but not the main one in most people's lives.

Oh and the first week after the election was called I thought I would vote libdem, because of brexit, but in the end voted labour because of Corbyn

I am

Yes.

I support Corbyn and am a Remainer. There are other issues to consider, apart from Brexit. Public services, including Education and the NHS will remain vital issues whether we are in the EU or not.

I'm not sure if he was mildly pro Brexit or apathetic, or just wanted to use Brexit to break the Tories. So short term political gain from Cameron, gambling and losing, and from Corbyn either apathy or pro leave, of which I am not a fan, or political gain that will fuck over the country. Yay for our glorious leaders!

No, Hampstead & Kilburn, lucy. She's so awesome, I luffs her

No. His election campaign actually infuriated me even more. He showed he could run a good campaign. If he had done that for the referendum it is likely we wouldn't have bloody Brexit.

Not logically, no. Particularly as the Labour manifesto stated they are against freedom of movement, which would necessitate exiting the single market and therefore means they support a 'hard' Brexit, like the Conservatives. As a remainer I could never vote for a party with that as a policy.

Labour also claim to want to help poor people but pursuing this Brexit policy would make poor people much poorer and mean far less money is available for public services, which indicates to me that the party leadership is either incompetent or disingenuous and not to be trusted. Also, some of Labour's proposed policies are illegal under EU law so it doesn't make sense to say you agree with their policies but are against Brexit.

The Lib Dems seemed to be the only sensible option (in England) for people who are strongly against Brexit.

Yes. Because it's impossible to agree with every standpoint a politician has.

I am a remainer and have voted labour all my life and I confess I am disappointed at JC stance on Brexit but not as angry as I was with Blair when he took us into a war the consequences of which we pay such a high price for today So in the end it's about perspective and if we are strong together we will get through things

I'm was a remainer - strong remainer - and I joined the Labour party in no small part thanks to Corbyn after the referendum.

The thing is, we had a vote. No matter how foolish or il-presented that definitely happened. Until that day I believed the worst thing that this country could do would be to leave the EU. But then after that, seeing all the division, the hatred and back-biting across the nation, it became pretty clear that in the wake of that nationwide vote the worst thing the county could do would now be not to leave the EU. Best to get on and make the very best of it!

Oh, and I don't believe Corbyn was the architect of that result either; not for a second.

Yes.

... I'm both
