if labour cancelled brexit would you vote them into power?

as the title says, I would be very surprised if labour didn't use this as a weapon, and maybe even reached out to the libdems and SNP for a coalition as they will do anything to get into power.

personally I think May has taken an unnecessary risk in calling this election and it could massively backfire on her, I'm praying it won't.

I don't believe they would

Time for playing games is over. Serious business has started. Corbyn first has to unite the Labour party. The manifesto will be interesting to read. Given his off field views on many topics.

No, I won't be voting Labour, even if they run on a 'cancel brexit' ticket.
And I say this as a remoaner loon (as anyone not cheering on Glorious Brexit is called nowadays).

Surely this poll should only have the first 2 options to make it interesting as clearly Labour will not put cancelling Brexit in their manifesto but will only run on what they think Brexit should look like.

what would stop them putting 'cancel brexit' on their manifesto given that potentially 48% of the country would take notice? although article 50 has been triggered I'm sure the EU would bend over backwards to work with any government who had decided they had changed their mind and wanted to stay?

I really cannot see any other way for corbyn to gain power in his lifetime and it must be tempting for him to go for the big ticket no matter how many u-turns on policy he has to perform.

Those 48% have far wider ranging views than just "Brexit".

Why is the EU going to bend over backwards. As would be the total reverse of democracy.

They do and it would be suicide for the Labour Party to ignore the UKIP supporting people they need to win back in so many seats by taking that stance.

I would be surprised if they did not in those unlikely circumstances, since it would save them all a lot of hassle. In the unlikely event of May losing and a coalition being formed, that would be democracy in action.

Who is "them" though. The EU's intended purpose is to provide unity, harmony and peace. Not create divisions.

The EU27 will spend a lot of time on agreeing Brexit terms so given the chance not to have to do it I would say it will save time, money and hassle. But its not likely to happen in reality is it?

Moby

yes

Labour can't run on a ticket cancelling brexit. They can run on a ticket of giving people a vote on the deal though....that will be interesting?
