According to all the fanboys here Corbyn is neither right nor wrong
He has no say whatsoever.
He just does whatever he's told to by the party.
As the leader of the Party isnt that what he is supposed to do ?
"If Corbyn backs Brexit, he faces electoral catastrophe
The biggest Brexit survey yet shows Remain ahead – and Labour losing by a landslide in a general election if it does not oppose leaving the EU"
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... ougov-poll
"The conventional voting intention question produces a six-point Conservative lead (40% to 34%).
This is bad enough for an opposition that ought to be reaping electoral dividends at a time when the government is in crisis.
However, when voters are asked how they would vote if Labour failed to resist Brexit, the Conservatives open up a 17-point lead (43% to 26%).
That would be an even worse result than in Margaret Thatcher’s landslide victory in 1983, when Labour slumped to 209 seats, its worst result since the 1930s.
The key reason for this is that, if Labour is seen to facilitate Brexit in any form, YouGov’s results indicate that the party would be deserted by millions of Remain voters – without gaining any extra support from Leave voters."
Completely agree with the poll sentiments, but note that Corbyn hasn't facilitated Brexit in any shape or form.
The hours following May's defeat tomorrow will shape Corbyn's future - he knows where the party members stand, and although May might resign and a General Election called, I suspect that she might be forced to call a People's Vote instead. In that case Corbyn would campaign for Remain just like last time.
