The leader of the Labour party has held the Brexit for a long time. Now, he has not presented a Four-point Plan, which excludes even the whereabouts of Britain in the EU. Rob Mudge about the background.
It took you long enough. But now, within sight of a chaotic Brexit, without a previous agreement with the EU, has Jeremy Corbyn presented a Plan. Finally.
The leader of the Labour party is seeking as quickly as possible, a miss of no confidence against the new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. In the case of success Corbyn brings itself as a Transitional Prime Minister to the game. He wants to but only temporarily in Downing Street, in order not to delay the Brexit and new members to initiate.
After he has followed the Brexit-the theatre for the longest time from the Scenes, has Corbyn known now, and at last He said he would advertise before elections with the promise of a second referendum to vote and in this Referendum is also an Option that the UK remains in the EU would be.
Where was Jeremy Corbyn, when it came to the whereabouts in the EU?
Also who cares only for the Brexit, is expected to have all the time asked why Labour has failed, there is no political capital out of Brexit-mayhem created by the ruling Tories under Theresa May’s face. But it’s not that simple: Corbyns decisions in recent years have much to do with his origin and his career within the party.
Corbyns Flight
The last of the “Golden Era” of the Labour party is inextricably linked with the former Premier and party leader Tony Blair. Under his successor, Gordon Brown, they experienced a rapid crash: After the parliamentary elections of 2010, they had to contend with the loss of 91 seats in the Parliament – so high losses no longer had to cope with Labour since 1931. Brown’s successor, Ed Miliband was not able to tear around the rudder, and so Labour in 2015, was voted out of office.
Appearance Corbyn. As the party searched for the electoral debacle and a new Chairman, he was quickly to the favorites, and especially thanks to young activists, bought for three pounds (at today’s exchange rate € 3.25) the right to vote in the internal party election. They made Jeremy Corbyn, as the new party chief, and delivered in his first term in office in the spirit of the party.
One of his advisors coined the term “straight out honest politics”, which was, in Corbyn as opposed to the career politicians against whom he competed. It was deliberately overlooked, that Corbyn’s longtime mandate was: Since 1983, he has represented the London constituency of Islington, in the British house of Commons, he previously sat in the Council of the borough of Haringey.

Then the following Brexit Referendum in 2016, in which a narrow majority of the participating British for the EU came to Britain to leave voted. Some Labour grandees then attempted Corbyn to get rid of, had fought only half-heartedly for a whereabouts. Again, Corbyn managed to mobilize his young supporters, and to stand as a party leader to confirm. 2017 will probably be the biggest Coup succeeded him as Labour in the early parliamentary elections 40 per cent of the votes import.
After that, it was over with Corbyns winning streak. Some observers credit him that he stand by his principles. For others, its stubborn attitude to the EU is, however, the reason for this is that Labour will not be perceived as a real Alternative to the Tories.
Corbyn and the EU
Corbyn, the EU has always been skeptical. He has also repeatedly voting to the expression: When the British in 1975, sealed in a Referendum, a majority of the remaining in the European economic community, in contrast, agreed with Corbyn. He voted in Parliament against the establishment of the present-day EU, in the framework of the Maastricht Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty of 2007 on the functioning of the EU.
The day after the opt-out Referendum by 2016 Corbyn hastened with the requirement to pass the exit immediately to in article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty for the first time, regulated process, in which an EU state for two years after the formal announcement initiates. As in the Parliament in December 2016, the time frame was discussed, agreed to Corbyn for the exit application before 31. March 2017 submit. Three months later, he underlined that, in the next vote, the requirement of a speedy exit. In the summer of 2017 Corbyn braced herself against the fate of the UK in the single market and walked the distance to the members who were in favour of it.
Who supports Corbyn?
And plunge back Corbyns new Protocol, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and a Unger Brexit apply to avert This plan could fail alone, that Corbyn has developed over the years, the reputation of an opponent of the EU.

Therefore, it would fall breakaway Tories and members of the other opposition parties are difficult to make, of all things, behind Corbyn. The Head of the EU-friendly liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, has already ruled out a crisis in government Corbyn. In addition, the Labour party, even in the Brexit is divided-question-a heated, this issue dominated the election campaign would deepen the intra-party trenches more. For Labour a victory in rapid elections would be anything other than safe.
That Corbyn wants to work for a second Referendum, this does not mean that he has changed his basic attitude. He has never made a secret of the fact that he is from Conviction a “Lexiteer” – a leftist who wants to leave the EU.
