if labour cancelled brexit would you vote them into power?

I assume that all those voting yes in this poll are terrified of the consequences of Brexit, yet comfortable with letting labour run the wider economy.

I suspect the actual real danger is in the latter of those two options.

lisyloo

yes

No, you're assumption is wrong (in my case anyway).
I think the former would be worse than the latter, so not comfortable at all.


I would not vote labour because in my constituency it would be a waste.
We have a very good Tory MP (Michelle Donelan) and the fact that she is very good as an individual would be a factor in our case, so you certainly cannot discount people voting for an individual or local issues.

Prepared to be surprised.:)

Jeremy Corbyn rules out second Brexit referendum

If he has ruled out a second referendum, then he ain't gonna promise to cancel Article 50.

Reaching out to the "SNP for a coalition" would be an almost a cast iron guarantee for the most humongous electoral disaster ever experienced by the Labour Party.

Besides, the line is that Labour can win. And to be honest, that's the line that any government aspriring to government has to take. Any kind of 'deal' amounts to an admission that Labour can't win.

..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.

It's always a risk calling an election. Calling an election when the polls are giving you a 21 point lead seems a bit less of a risk.

I'm not sure even them coming out strongly and saying they will stop Brexit will do anything for them tbh. It's very likely Labour as a party are finished for this generation. What will be interesting will be to see how the likes of Lib Dem's do (not too well either I'd guess).

Labour numpties running the economy for a parliamentary term would be a temporary blip.
The adverse effects of Brexit will be felt over many, many generations.

Eh?
So Blair's foray into Iraq won't be felt for generations then?
The result of his expansion of PFI's funding hospitals (for example) won't be felt for generations?
Those are factual examples.

Brexit may indeed lead to adverse effects - but it also may not.
Whereas we can see evidence of Labour damage.


Note if you would the lack of highlighting or the use of bold or italics, just for Mayo.
Who must be getting so old to be unable to cope with such aberrations that I took pity.

No, it's bad, quite bad.
However some of us see Brexit as worse than Labour running the economy.
You might not agree with that opinion, but some of us hold that opinion.


We vote for the LEAST BAD option as there is no perfect one.

I don't believe they would

Why would it only be for one term?

If you vote Labour you will get Brexit and Labour running the economy. That would be the very WORST option, wouldn't it?

Aren't a lot of labours safest seats also the ones with the highest leave vote? It'd be suicide.
