Well said,
Getting at the left on here is almost a sport now.
I was once considered right wing as to my politics, I sure am glad I walked away from that seeing the hardline attitudes here from a few at times and even much moreso off here, far happier I am now for sure.
You are right however, the left is not a party so when people get at the left generally, they are getting at everyone on the left of politics,the general public, voters and also even other members who are of the left of politics.
Especially when they don't qualify it with the words 'some' rather than the generalisation of 'those on the left' or 'the left'.
How the left in any event can be blamed for the EU or anything as to it is beyond all reason.
For the 43 years we have been tied to Europe through the Common Market and then the EU,there has been over 24 years of Conservative led govt in that time.
Both times as to change as to the UK going into Europe, the UK first going in and the formation of the EU too, done when Conservative govts were solely in power.
If there are real grumbles at the EU that are in any way genuine how they,or the right avoid getting some of the blame too,when they have presided over 24 years of our time in it,shows the irrationality of claims made 'only' against the left by some on here.
