So unless you're suggesting that if the Tories got 51.9% of the vote, Labour would need to become the party of austerity and war crimes... Then you can't argue that Labour should support Brexit despite 71% of its voters voting Remain and 86% of Labour members wanting a Deal Vote.

In 2015 I was shouting about
#ToryElectionFraud & asking for another General election because of the widespread@Conservatives Electoral Fraud going on....I believe#C4News covered it.......So Tories winning was not my will.....what were you shouting about in 2015? -
I was shouting about the fact that the government was selling weapons that it knew were being used to bomb hospitals and schools and were responsible for 5,000 civilian deaths. Please stop acting like you own Lefty values.pic.twitter.com/F7YgUt5Rod

Umm I do.....I was born and raised a Lefty all 46 years of my Life....
-
Well I'm glad we cleared that up...
-
I sense your irritation..... Welcome to my World....
-
In fairness it’s probably because you just claimed to ‘own’ lefty values. That’s as daft as it is annoying.
-
Why.....I DO have Lefty values ... I've always had.... to play on people's words is just as annoying and daft ...Femi's reply to me was daft....so he got a daft reply back....
-
It wasn’t. He was simply stating what he did in 2015 in reply to your question. Having lefty values doesn’t mean you own them. Claiming to own them makes you look a pompous parody of a lefty.

The Tories got only 37% of the vote in 2015.
-
My point was obvious: the Tories didn't have a mandate for austerity in 2015, although arguably they did in 2010, when the policy kicked in. But elections aren't multi-issue referendums, whereas the mandate from a single-question, one-off referendum such as 2016 is unambiguous.
-
Does Brexit look like a single-issue question from where you're sitting?
-
A PV would be a single issue question. What would that be btw?
-
The agenda of our friend is vague. He wants a Tory victory, but why is unclear

This still isn't as clever as you think it is.
-
Explain then...
-
The majority of the Labour Party has been fighting against austerity from day one. You use the future pain of others as a cliched point. We won't take lessons from you.
-
By simply emphasising the extent to which Labour could never support Austerity under any circumstances, you do know you're backing up my original point right?
-
Remaining in the EU will not halt austerity. Focusing your acolytes on Labour will determine a Tory win in a future GE and the hardest of Brexits. You use austerity as cheap point.
-
Will Brexit increase the likelihood of further austerity or reduce it?
-
That depends on who is in government.
-
I'll rephrase my question. Will a Labour government have more resources at its disposal if Britain stays in the EU or if it leaves?
