Although I don’t exactly have my finger on the pulse of British politics (apparently I’m hardly alone in that), I do have a theory, which is that not only its Brexit stance but also the extreme and increasing leftism of the Labour Party has turned a lot of people off who might otherwise have supported them. Although political parties in Britain generally lean more to the left than their supposed American counterparts, what’s happening to Labour in Britain may be a similar phenomenon to what appears to be going on with Democrats in the US. The candidates have been so busy getting to the left of each other that they forgot that pleasing their leftist base isn’t quite enough to win more general elections.
I really feel lost on the Brexit thing. I know how I would vote if I had any say in the matter, but I don't I hear the arguments on both sides. People pro Brexit seem to want to stay a separate independent nation. People are pro Europe want their lives to be easier and more convenient. They both seem to think their side of the argument will bring better opportunity to the young people somehow.
