Why would the people of the UK benefit from a Labour Government?

Firstly, its the only party advocating a referendum on Brexit. The country is divided so letting people choose is the only thing that makes sense.

Secondly, Labour is the only party which has policies which would benefit the lives of ordinary people:

1) Abolition of tuition fees.
2) Building more houses.
3) Giving workers shares in their companies.
4) Nationalising rail and utilities.
5) Rolling back NHS privatisation and academy schools.
6) a green new deal.

The last Labour manifesto was fully costed and the next one will be likewise the same. Its time to make up your mind on what sort of country you want.

Didn't we have a referendum?

@Julianking We did but on what kind of deal? At the time, the leave campaign explicitly supported the soft-Brexit Norway option and have now explicitly ruled this out?

I would accept a soft Brexit. The Johnson deal is a hard Brexit and there has never been a majority for that. In my previous post, I list the reasons why this particular version of Brexit would never be popular with the UK public.

@Julianking yes in 1975, and in 2016.

So we've already twice answered the question

Best of three?

Sounds reasonable

@Burnley123 why do remoaners keep talking about voting on a deal? That was not the question posed in 2016. It was a simple remain or leave question. The deal and terms of leaving is up to the politicians not the people

@SW-User [quote]The deal and terms of leaving is up to the politicians not the people[/quote]

Right, so if they agreed to Brexit which was the Norway option, you would support it?

If so, we agree on something.

@Burnley123 I believe in democracy , the will of the people. The people's will was to leave the European Union. But the remoaners can't accept democracy. Spitting the dummy in my opinion

@SW-User I accept the result of the referendum. It campaigned on the Norway option.

@Burnley123 So the deal Johnson came up with, agreed by Brussels was a hard option.

@Julianking Yes. It leaves the single market and the customs union.

@Burnley123 wrong

@Julianking OK. But thank you for your polite and insightful comments.
