I went to my local Labour party social on Friday and it was interesting listening to other left wing views regarding Brexit. The elders in the group tended to say things like, “I know there’s a lot wrong with the EU but I still think we should remain in”, whilst others, mainly the younger crowd, stated that, regardless of Corbyn, they wouldn’t be supporting the in campaign because the European Union goes against their left wing principles. It felt strange sitting with a bunch of left-wingers who were so divided. One guy said to me, “I feel almost embarrassed to be sitting with the out campaigners, after all, most people presume Brexit supporters are right wing immigrantphobes … but” he continued- “I’m a socialist at heart and I’ve always seen the EU as a racket for the rich and not compatible with my left wing vision of democracy.

it appears there is a real divide in Labour party thinking regarding the EU and Brexit.
