Calling All Labour Supporters

I can't work out what the Party really wants with regard to Brexit. Also is there a power struggle going on? Is Watson trying to force Corbyn out and take over as Leader? Corbyn and Watson are giving out mixed messages. Corbyn is a committed Eurosceptic (the original Brexiteer) but Watson is clear he wants a 2nd referendum to prevent Brexit. Yesterday it seemed to me that Corbyn had given in to pressure and was going down that route, but today he's back to saying he wants a GE, but another referendum if that doesn't happen.  Aarrggghhhh! 🤬 Could somebody who understands the Labour Party and its internal machinations please explain to me what is going on?

It's easy, Labour is as divided as the Conservatives are. Labour is probably biased towards remain as i believe  average age of its supporters are younger.

Well I thought it was easy too Michael, but the other way round! Corbyn and McDonnell were both ambiguous for months, but leaning towards Leaving, or so I thought. McDonnell has gone quiet, Watson has become very vocal and Momentum seem to have been silenced.

The Game is “Spot the Trot” & the Party is full of them.The original Labour Party is no more, what you have is an openly Marxist & Racist Party.I know the young people have been taken in, but surely the other Main Party can Capitalise on this if a Election is forthcoming!
