Default Should the major parties have a consistent stance on Brexit?

I'm mostly thinking of Labour because there's an article out about it today, but it could also apply to the Tories during the run up to the Brexit vote.

Do you think the members of the (Shadow/) Cabinet and other prominent party members should be given a "party line" so to speak to tow regarding Brexit?
Quote:
LABOUR has been accused of being shambolic over its policy on a second poll on Brexit.

Deputy leader Tom Watson was seemingly at odds with shadow home secretary Diane Abbott on the need for another referendum.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Pienaar’s Politics Mr Watson said ‘you shouldn’t rule anything out’ when engaged in ‘complex negotiations’.

His comments came after Ms Abbott told BBC One’s Andrew Marr Show that ‘the Labour Party doesn’t support a second referendum’.

Two weeks ago, it emerged she wrote to two constituents: ‘I will argue for the right of the electorate to vote on any deal that is finally agreed,’ though she later said her comments were ‘poorly worded’.
If Corbyn or one of his aides briefed all party members before they make media appearances, he could ensure Labour gives a consistent message when it comes to what Brexit and what it may entail.

Even if they personally disagree with the party line, they could say something like "Labour's doing this, but I'm putting the case to Jeremy for us to do this." That's not a million miles from what Dianne Abbott said, as she stated she would "argue for the right to vote on deals."
