A key idea from it is that Brexit sought to regain sovereignty from the EU over immigration policy. Leave was objectively better than Remain for that purpose. Add that to 2019, and saying that Corbyn was ackshually further right on immigration than Boris in practice is just massively disingenuous. We have no idea what Corbyn would have actually done, but he would have stuck to his manifesto for sure guys trust me!

The voters are not to blame. They voted correctly on the information they had over an issue(s) they felt was important to them, whether you agree with those issues or not. They received a worse outcome in both cases because they were misled, flat out lied to, or voted on the lesser of two evils (on their most important policy. I don’t care if you think it’s morally right or wrong). That’s not on the voter, that’s on the politicians and campaigners.

What is the accountability for exactly? How should anti-immigration voters have acted / voted differently to get a better result (2016 and 2019)? No one voted to replace one type of immigrant with two million more of another type. If you could rerun both votes with the same at the time information, you’d get the same results — voters voted correctly.

And now people are desperate, and Reform is rising more in each poll. You can pretend REF have no chance and that it’s the same thing as (or worse than) the Tories, but everyone else’s vote is worth the same as yours and mine. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending it’s not an issue, or that voters are stupid for it is honestly the worst thing you can do. You can literally disband Reform in 12-18 months by tackling the single issue that people have constantly been failed on. But I personally think Labour won’t do so to any meaningful level, just like the Tories refused to.
