Quote: wrencat1873 "Although I would put all of those politicians on the "hit (punch)" list, Corbyn and McDonald should be on there with them.
These two are bothered about nothing, apart from getting a shot at the "big time".
You would be hard pressed to find out any of Labours shadow cabinets views on brexit as they just sway with the political breeze, waiting for their chance in a general election and when their time does come (if it comes), we may find out where they actually stand on the issue.
Had Corbyn had the balls to say what his views were during the referendum campaign, we may not have ended up in the current mess, although he wouldn't have been quite as close to sitting in the big chair.
It does beg the question of many of our "top" politicians as to whether personal gain should be put in front of what is best for the country.'"
You have no idea how reassuring it is to realise that other people can see this, especially those of a left-wing persuasion (Labour voter? - I'm not sure).
If Corbyn had been truly honest during the referendum we'd be out, no ifs and no buts, with a Labour vote in support. He's never been a lover of the EU but as you say, he prefers opportunities to score political points, and he couldn't risk alienating his reinvigorated youth vote.
I almost pitied Barry Gardiner last night, he was clearly under strict instruction to turn the debate into a Labour party political broadcast and a push for a General Election. Unfortunately for him most could see through it and he instead he just looked oddly like a sweaty Ricky Gervais.
