That is sort of the point of the positions, though, to make sure that normal humans don't get anywhere near them, or your money.

I know, but sometimes my brain wants to put itself in the place of people with insane jobs and bask in the madness.

Like sometimes when I watch wrestling and I imagine what it would be like if my job was to catch a 6'10" racist who pretends he's dead and is flying directly at my head, and make sure we both fall over safely but also make it look like it killed us both.

So the Corbyn position currently is that because No Deal is a terrible idea, even though people voted for Brexit it's only sensible to now seek a mandate for this as it's not what people were promised. This would take the form of a second referendum in which Labour would back Remain.

Can someone explain to me what the FBPE issue is with this position? I mean, isn't it their position as well?

It might lead to a left wing government if Labour does it. If the FBPEs get to do it, it will lead to a massive swell of support for reasonable centrist government and they will be able to profit from Tory policy without doing anything to change it or take any of the blame for making it.

Dunno about FBPE’s, but the obvious objection to that policy is that literally zero voters want to spend the next 6-12 months ignoring all other political and economic issues in order to extend Brexit in an attempt to negotiate an implausible deal. Which, if somehow achieved, would then be campaigned against by the ones who negotiated it.

Except that I don’t believe Labour have actually stated they would campaign against their own deal, only against a Tory one, right? Either way, while it can be accepted that Labour’s Brexit policy is absolutely clear, unambiguous and well communicated, the question of what it actually _is_ does seem still open.

Email sent to all LP members by Corbyn on 9th July this year:

(my bolds/underlines) - obviously I have changed my name to protect the innocent-ish.

quote:

Dear Jaeluni

I am proud to lead the Labour Party – the greatest political party and social movement in this country.

We all recognise that the issue of Brexit has been divisive in our communities and sometimes in our party too.

As democrats, Labour accepted the result of the 2016 referendum. In our 2017 manifesto, Labour also committed to oppose a No Deal Brexit and the Tories' Brexit plans – which threatened jobs, living standards, and the open multicultural society that we as internationalists value so much.

I want to pay tribute to Keir Starmer and the shadow Brexit team for holding the Government to account during this process. That helped secure a meaningful vote on their deal – which we then defeated three times – including inflicting the largest ever defeat on any Government. And following their refusal to publish their legal advice, this Government became the first to be held in contempt of Parliament.

Labour set out a compromise plan to try to bring the country together based around a customs union, a strong single market relationship and protection of environmental regulations and rights at work. We continue to believe this is a sensible alternative that could bring the country together.

But the Prime Minister refused to compromise and was unable to deliver, so we ended cross-party talks.

Now both Tory leadership candidates are threatening a No Deal Brexit – or at best a race to the bottom and a sweetheart deal with Donald Trump: that runs down industry, opens up our NHS and other public services to yet more privatisation, and shreds environmental protections, rights at work and consumer standards.

I have spent the past few weeks consulting with the shadow cabinet, MPs, affiliated unions and the NEC. I have also had feedback from members via the National Policy Forum consultation on Brexit.

Whoever becomes the new Prime Minister should have the confidence to put their deal, or No Deal, back to the people in a public vote.

In those circumstances, I want to make it clear that Labour would campaign for Remain against either No Deal or a Tory deal that does not protect the economy and jobs.

Labour has a crucial, historic duty to safeguard jobs, rights and living standards. But no Brexit outcome alone can do that.

We need a general election. After nine years of austerity, too many people in this country cannot find decent secure well-paid work, and have to rely on public services that have been severely cut back.

Our country is ravaged by inequality and rising poverty, huge regional imbalances of investment, and the government is failing to tackle the climate emergency facing us all.

That is why we need a Labour government to end austerity and rebuild our country for the many not the few.

Signed, Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party

The email sent to all Labour party members by Corbyn on 9th July, helpfully quoted a above. Read the bolded parts.

As wrong as it is to reduce the nuance and deliberate question avoidance to yes/no, if you did so, you get ‘If we win an election we will Brexit’.

Failing to understand that the probable majority of people people currently against Brexit would prefer a different policy is no basis for a successful campaign strategy.
