Three Choices for Brexit

May’s deal was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of the Deal’s burial was signed by the Presidents of the European Commission and the European Council, by France, Sweden, Spain and Belgium, by the Chairman of the European Research Group, and the chief mourner. Leo Varadkar signed it: and Leo Varadkar’s name was good upon Fine Gael, for anything he chose to…

Politics: Labour will lose a big chunk of voters if it doesn't oppose Brexit, a new poll finds

A YouGov poll of nearly 5,000 people found that Labour will be 9% behind the Conservatives if it doesn't oppose Britain's exit from the European Union, with pro-EU voters switching to the Liberal Democrats.

Labour will lose a big chunk of support if it doesn't oppose Brexit.

If there was an election before Brexit, just 19% of people would vote for Labour if it doesn't oppose Britain's EU exit, while the Conservatives would be 9 percentage points ahead, a YouGov poll has found.

Support for the anti-Brexit Lib Dems would jump to 17%.

However, Labour would be much closer to the Tories and way ahead of the Lib Dems if it opposed Brexit.

Jeremy Corbyn is under increasing pressure from Labour members to stand against Brexit.

LONDON — The Labour Party will hemorrhage voters to the Liberal Democrats if it doesn't oppose Brexit, a poll has found, in the latest sign that Jeremy Corbyn's party relies heavily on support from passionate pro-Europeans.

A YouGov poll of over 4,900 people found that if a general election takes place before Britain's scheduled exit from the EU in March 2019, just 19% of people would vote Labour if the party wasn't opposed to Brexit.

However, if Labour was to officially oppose Brexit, it would receive 26% of the vote, four percentage points behind the Conservatives and 16% ahead of the Lib Dems, who'd be on 8%.

The poll, commissioned by Best For Britain and Hope Not Hate, suggests that Labour will be punished at the ballot box if it doesn't argue against Britain leaving the EU, while the Lib Dems would enjoy a revival.

Reacting to the findings, Labour peer Andrew Adonis said: "If Labour becomes an accomplice to Brexit, it is finished.

"If people want Brexit, they will vote for the party that really believes in it, not the one that is being led to support it against its most profound convictions and misgivings. "

Here are YouGov's findings:

Labour is coming under increasing pressure to take a softer Brexit position ahead of its autumn conference.

The party's current policy is to negotiate a customs union with the EU and stay as close to the single market as possible. However, most members are opposed to Brexit altogether and want the party to back another referendum.

Corbyn's stance on Brexit is set to be in the spotlight at the party's conference in Liverpool next month, with tens of local Labour branches planning to submit motions calling for a People's Vote — a referendum on the terms of any final deal Theresa May brings back to Westminster.

"These figures show that Labour would make real gains in the country from a clear anti-Brexit position," Eloise Todd, CEO at anti-Brexit group Best For Britain said.

"With Labour voters and national public opinion shifting against Brexit, it’s time for the opposition to give people what they want: a clear choice on Brexit between leaving and staying and reforming the EU, not a fudged deal that works for Westminster elites and no one else."

Political Risk Is on the Rise in Europe. Here's Why.

Political Risk Is on the Rise in Europe. Here’s Why.

Source: Stratfor

Recent election results suggest that the political landscape in several European countries is fragmenting. This fragmentation will make general elections harder to predict and slow the formation of new governments.

Government coalitions will likely become more heterogeneous, which in turn will lead to more complex policymaking.

These developments will increase uncertainty about…
