You could quite easily argue that another vote was conducted in the form of the 2019 General Election, which the Tories - the only party of note who actually were in favour of Brexit - won by a landslide.
- tim333 6y agoThat was mostly people just not wanting Corbyn.
- dundarious 6y agoBrexit surely played a huge role, given Corbyn's near victory in 2017. If there was a flaw to Labour's 2019 Brexit "agnosticism" policy, it was that it was not pro-Brexit enough -- Starmer's former Brexit-hostility (such as his "6 tests for Brexit") is gone, and he will probably use the whip to vote for almost any negotiated deal. I only hope there is a deal.
- that_guy_iain 6y agoI think it was literally more Corbyn screwed up massively. There was pretty much no Anti Brexit campaign. It was from as a far I could see between a guy who wanted Brexit to be over with and a guy who was wanting to play around with Brexit. I suspect if Labour came out hard on anti Brexit they could have won even with Corbyn. The anti-EU feeling in the UK is nowhere near as bad as it was 4 years ago when they held the vote.
- lostlogin 6y agoNo you couldn’t. That was to choose how the exit was handled and didn’t include a referendum.
