Wouldn't have happened. He did well here because he was able to pull on the strength of his convictions. He didn't have that for the referendum, hence his half-ar5edvapproach to it.
Because he has supported Brexit all of his political life.
As Alan Johnson, the head of Labour's EU Remain campaign, said people in Mr Corbyn's office were “actively undermining the party's efforts” with the leader "at best" unable to control them or "at worst" sympathetic to their views.

I find it funny that, last June, alot of my younger peers started moaning/whining that their 'future has been ruined' by leaving the EU, yet this election, they've voted in their droves to try and elect a socialist government that has committed to leaving the EU and ending free movement, thus, leaving the single market.

Maybe your younger peers didn't vote on that one subject.

Yes. Just like Theresa May. I'm glad you acknowledge the comparison.
Yes. But on the other hand he wasn't willing to work towards something he doesn't believe in. That's a trait much missed in politicians. It's hard to vote for someone who has no belief in what they're saying - they can't hide it. Half the Tories, most ofbLabour and all of LD are sh*t scared of losing Brexiters and so won't stand for what they believe in. I wish they'd set their stall out and act with the courage of their convictions. At least that's one thing you can give UKIP credit for.

Indeed, well said. I'm no fan of UKIP but I admire them for sticking to their principles. The Tories, as we've seen, will literally just say and do whatever they think will keep them in power. Look at May's u-turns for example. And their deal with the DUP that has caused lifelong supporters like Glassers to tear up their membership.
One of the main reasons I love JC is that he has principles. Something that's been in such short supply in politics in my lifetime.

But he didn't stick to his principles. He has voted against both the Maastricht and Lisbon Treaties. He has campaigned to leave the EU all of his political life.
Had he stuck to his principles he would have joined Labour leave and campaigned on his principle to leave rather than ,making a half hearted attempt to campaign to remain.

His principles included leaving the EU and scrapping trident. He campaigned to stay in the EU and has committed to Trident in the manifesto.

Not sure you can level that at the Lib dems.
They've hardly been chasing the brexit vote.

Hang on, haven't people been massively critisising him for his lack of campaigning to stay in the EU and his desire to scrap Trident (or certainly not use it)? Your lot twist things so much I'm struggling to keep up.
Do you have a schedule of his time during the campaign? I'm sure it was packed out. What you mean was his appearances weren't in the media, perhaps because the only attention most of the media wants to give Corbyn is negative.

Yes he halfheartedly campaigned for remain. Had he stuck to his principles he would have campaigned for leave.
I'm not a fan of a Corbyn, nor would I consider voting for him still. BUT no doubting his campaign performance was very strong. Massively better than Milliband.
Also disappointed he didn't really back to Remain campaign.
