It amounts to 'screw principles' and go with what gives you the best chance of winning the next election. Most importantly it ultimately ignores the referendum result which is what many remainers have wanted all along! Somehow, I wonder why, it always comes back to that - remainers getting their way even if it means overturning a democratic vote. How very undemocratic of a supposedly democratic socialist party!

Do you understand what a democratic government means? Party leaders in this country aren't a one man band and if and when they do become PM, they don't become 'supreme leaders' like they do in the U.S. They have to pay attention to their shadow cabinet.
If Corbyn has listened to his own party regarding a softer Brexit, that makes him Democratic. It really isn't any more complicated than that.
