While I obviously disagree with you on the idea that Labour MPs want to do everything the same as the Tories just a tad slower, even if it was true that is still better than letting the Tories win. Even accepting your view that they're very similar, I'd still take 90% of Tory policies over 100% of Tory policies. Corbyn guarantees the latter.

The fact that 48% of the country voted Remain and that many Leave voters did not vote for a Brexit that'll destroy the British economy. There is no mandate for a 'hardcore Brexit'. Also, as a Londoner, I feel that, as my city overwhelmingly voted Remain, London's interests should be put at the forefront of any agreement and that includes access to the single market, which is essential for the financial sector.

No, development of other regions is important. But I want London's interests to be represented; we were taken out of the EU by Little England. Whilst I respect the result, the scale of the Remain vote in London coupled with the slim nationwide margin means there is no mandate for a hardcore Brexit.

this is just wrong though isn't it. because it wasn't true under DC or Blair or Thatcher. they might not know minor figures like the shadow transport secretary or UNDER SECRETARY FOR THE REGIONS but they sure know who the chancellor and home secretary are -- especially if they're vocal which they should and could be.Britanno 2 wrote:Nobody cares about who your shadow transport secretary or your shadow minister for equality is.

I don't think that's true. sure the tory rebels went so far but the opposition -- corbyn and co at least -- have been fighting the tories every step of the way, they just have poor control of the PLP -- and that's not their fault.Britanno 2 wrote:Questers wrote:but what if the opposition could do something like fight the government and make them u-turn on disgusting policies rather than tacitly approving of them

An opposition can only cause a government U-turn if it rallies the public behind them. Corbyn is incapable of that.
Think of the U-turns this government has done so far: tax credits, forced academies etc. How many of them have been because of Corbyn> Tax credits was down to Tory rebels. Academies was down to Tory rebels.
