That's not what I'm getting at at all in this case. The left in Europe tends to be highly critical of the EU, and advocates either reforming the EU radically to make it more democratic or, if that isn't possible, leaving it. This is often referred to as "soft Euroscepticism".
- tpm 5y agoWhich left parties in Europe are advocating leaving the EU? I think these would be more hard-left than centre-left.
- qsort 5y agoYeah, that's how I would frame it as well. It's the populist right and the hard left who are the bulk of the leavers. Centre-left, centre-right and small-el liberals tend to range between somewhat and very pro-eu.
- willyt 5y agoThe Labour party in Britain was complicit in Brexit, otherwise it wouldn’t have happened. It is one of the only two mainstream parties that can realistically win an election. During the Brexit referendum and afterwards it was lead by someone from the left of the party who required the support of the far left to maintain his position. This resulted in the Labour party having a very unclear position on Brexit which lead thier older supporters to make up thier minds based on Facebook propaganda targeted by Cambridge Analytica who were contracted to the far right.
- tpm 5y agoYes, the Labour party is quite clueless in this regard, and also Corbyn probably genuinely did not like the EU. I don't think any of the remaining big left European parties are as naive as this.
