Labour's Hard Brexit
Some in Labour believe that the EU is a trojan horse wherein neoliberal values enter and lay waste to our socialist paradise.
Never mind that the UK is to the right of the EU. Never mind that that the world has changed since the 1960s but that belief has not. Never mind that the EU is a safeguard against the values of the Hard Right who fought and funded Brexit. Never mind that under the microscope of evidence the belief shrivels and dies.
Nevertheless. For that belief, Labour's leadership will sacrifice the prospect of remaining in the EU, the opportunity to deliver a better Brexit in the Single Market, and the wishes of Labour's membership.
And it does so believing that it will have no price to pay at the ballot box in 2022. Because by then Brexit will be done and you will have forgotten Labour's betrayal.
Would you like to say to Labour, 'I will not forget? Deliver a Brexit outside the Single Market and come what may I will not vote for you?
'I will abstain. Or I will vote for an alternative. But in no world will I vote for you.'
It is important. The Tory Party is divided on Brexit. A Labour Party for the country - for the country and not an ideological relic - would split the Tories. Labour could deliver a better Brexit - or none at all.
Would you support a campaign? Would you publicly pledge: betray my future, deliver a Hard Brexit, and I will not vote for you?
