I wonder if labour had got a fresh face a year ago whether the stupid public would have voted differently.
I think it could have been quite different. Labour had the right manifesto (if you are a socialist), but the wrong leader. Many, many people voted Tory, myself included and against my better judgement, purely to stop Corbyn.
Though obviously this was brexit v remain and at least for now faith is restored in the British public.
The media spout that, but I don't think it really was. Even I don't think the British public are that stupid. If it was, surely the Brexit party under that other unelectable 'tard Farage might have sneaked some seats.
I think most remainers respect democracy, so would potentially vote to leave if their had been a People's Vote or whatever. The fear from the Brexiteers side would be those disgruntled leave voters who have now discovered the promises, such as the £350m a week to the NHS and the EU would roll over and give us anything, were always outright lies.
