Corbyn supports leaving the EU supported by his three inner advisers. Whilst there are many of us in the centre right who definitely support staying in the EU.
We need to stay together at this time and fight the real enemy of British prosperity. The leavers!

By their friends, you shall know them. Farage,Trump, Boris, Bannon. They won’t lead to a socialist paradise. The EU is not perfect, but we have many like minded friends there who believe in international socialism and a greener, more sustainable world.
The 2016 referendum was beset by lies, data misuse and vote leave overspending and should be rerun purely on those grounds. A further referendum would allow a vote for an actual deal ( or even No Deal) rather than the various unreal utopias that were presented in 2016.

Look how the Germany/EU dealt with Greece (squeezing every social programme out of existence there), look at how the EU forced austerity on Ireland, Spain and Italy, look at how the EU lets literally thousands of migrants in each day and how that forces the average salary of the working class lower and lower each year. Tony Benn was right about the capitalists in Brussels in the 1970s and nothing has changed. I am 28 now and a devout Corbanite. If you get your way and ignore the largest vote in the history of our nation–one that enables us to embark on true socialism, then you and all your facist capitalists allies who are more interested in cheap mobile phone roaming charges than using all the money we pay to the EU for renationalising the railways and providing free university education should know that many of us younger generation will vote LEAVE. Not one of my Momentum friends wants to stay in the EU, so stop saying you speak of the left. YOU DONT. Come on everyone, enable true British socialism and support a truly independent socialist nation!

I no longer want to be ruled by the EC trade with Europe only please.

2. Given you can’t accept the existing vote you won’t accept the next vote either
3. Why should we trust you when you constantly try and stop people’s lives from being improved by leaving the EU
4. You are correct, its not about immigrants.
5. It is however about migration. The policy. From the Windrush to the EU, its all been about cheap labour for Corporations.
6. Politicians forced that on the public
7. Politicians never asked for consent until the vote.
8. Now politicians and yourself are saying no means yes.
9. We have democratically decided to leave the EU. Which bit do you not understand?
10. Which bit of £450,000 of state debt do you not understand? Socialist pensions with zero capital are just debt
