Excellent. Labour, the next government of the UK, will see this polling in the guardian and campaign on an easy win to rejoin the EU?
Will they fuck. Both Labour and Tories want Brexit votes in the North and poor areas of the country. Hence neither will do anything but more Brexit. The sad thing is that people will still vote Labour in massive numbers and keep us in Brexit mode. Get used to it lads.... a decade or two more of this.
What's the alternative? With fptp it's labour or Tories and it takes a major shift to make one of the other parties a threat.
Labour and Tories both benefit from fptp so there's no way theyre ever going to change it.
The alternative is that Labour immediately upon getting in says: Right lads we're going back in because it is clear the damage to the country is too immense - you'll thank us in five years time. If they do this immediately they might stand a chance in the election after that. Clearly 50% of the electorate will still vote for them based on the referendum results and even more now according to these polls for them to win the election after next.
So the alternative is for Labour to do what is best for the long term health of the country and not simply themselves.
