Every man to himself, I get the the same kicks with Rachel Riley on Countdown.

[Anna B]

Because I don't care what he thinks. I'm interested in whether Anna knows his position on a major issue of the day.

 

And doesn't this speak volumes....

 

Sorry, I didn't know I was in for a test. Will it be pass or fail? Do I get marks out of 10?

 

If you were genuinely interested in knowing, I would consider it worthy of a proper, probably lengthy answer for what is a complex issue, until then, don't waste my time.

I suggest everyone look at their own reply's.

[I1L2T3]

Is he in favour of single market membership?

 

Corbyn is a more ardent Brexiteer than you, and that is going some.

 

He wants out for different reasons than you do though.

I feel this is bit of a cop out of an answer.

 

Unbeliever has clearly stated that they are interested in whether or not Corbyn is getting his views across to the electorate. As you are an ardent Corbyn supporter, it seems perfectly logical to me for him to ask you whether you know his position on such a major issue.

 

As I am sure you must know then refusing to answer does both you and Corbyn a disservice, as it really makes it seem like you don't know.

Not really. He's always wanted out because he thinks he can do better with UK laws than the EU does with EU-wide laws. The laws he is concerned about are different, but the principle is exactly the same.

You are handicapped from understanding his motivations because you judge most things by your own impulses and standards.

 

I think he is a Brexiter because he believes it is a rich mans club to the detriment of the poorer nations. It may be a reaction to elitism.

 

There's a lot of 'thinks' and 'may's' in there because it would be arrogant for me to proclaim exactly what he thinks.

If you look at the other thread. Number 2 on my "what would I change after brexit" list is agricultural subsidies and tariffs. So maybe not that far apart after all. Maybe the difference is that I don't have a lust for power to compromise me.

[Flanker7]

Lust for power????

 

His career is marked by going against the party, frequently one his own. This is no way to pursue power.
