Demand to reverse Brexit hits ‘highest ever level’
Demand to reverse Brexit hits ‘highest ever level’
A poll in May also revealed that both Tory and Leave backers feel that Brexit has been a failure.
The ratio for those is favour of reversing Brexit is very close to two to one now.

Support for rejoin can be as high as it wants to be. The bottom line is that Sir Keir has ruled it out. It's not happening. He doesn't want to lose Labour Red Wall votes.
I think people have to be realistic about these things. If they want to rejoin, vote for a party that will take us back in or at least are receptive of the idea of applying. That's not Labour yet people want to vote for them. Pick your priorities.
All well and good but with a FPTP system you cannot vote for what you want and expect to get it. If we had PR then that would be a different story.
Why Labour will never support pr.
As far as I am concerned, the next GE will be the last time I vote Labour unless they announce PR as part of their manifesto. I can understand Starmer dodging on this next innings, but failing adding it to the next GE after would just mean we are on a circle jerk. I still remember Blair said he would move to PR when he was in office.
You can still strategically vote. If Labour see that e.g. the Greens are draining votes from them then they will have to make their policies more appealing to those voters to win them back. The Greens will probably never win but by voting for them you can make Labour more Green-y. It happened to the tories with ukip.
In my area Labour won by 2000 votes at 18500. Tories came next and LD were third at just over 2500. How can I vote tactically against Labour?
leave it to the UK to create a system somehow less functional than the electoral college here in the US. Huzzah to the special relationship.
FPTP is exactly as dumb as the US election system, because it’s the same thing the US has.
Do people in the usa get taught anything about how various different kinds of democracies work in their mandatory schooling?
It's confusing to me, as even in isolated old Australia we learn about different kinds of voting systems and republics vs monarchies etc.
“Sir”
I am pro rejoin, but calling Keir sir in this statement is a bit too much unless you are being ironic. So you say dame priti also?
Also funnily enough my phone suggested that Keith as autocorrect for keir :)
Sir Keith. I like it!
Or just "Cheggers" to his mates
I like Starmzy
