“Support for Brexit was high in a number of seats that Labour lost in 2019. The party seems to have drawn the conclusion that it cannot come back into power if it criticises Brexit. But, this polling suggests it is mistaken. On this evidence, criticism of Brexit might not be a dealbreaker in the Red Wall, and saying Brexit was a mistake could improve Labour's overall electoral performance.”
A poll commissioned by the Constitution Society and published today (21 March) finds that there would be no electoral penalty for Labour if the party said Brexit was a mistake, and that it could even gain from doing so.
