Reasons to Vote Labour

REASON 33
BREXIT
Colours to the mast: I believe that the decision to leave the EU was a terrible
mistake and one largely resulting from outright dishonesty by the Brexit
campaign. However that boat has now sailed and I believe we now need a
deal with the EU that best protects our national interests.
The media, the conservative party and plenty of others have been telling us
that only by electing Theresa May with an increased majority can she use her
fabled strength and stability to force through the best deal for the UK or no
deal at all. Now it seems that even if she wins the election her majority will
be reduced, totally undermining the reasons for calling it - that will hardly
put her in a position of strength for any negotiation.
We are also being told that her insistence on being able to walk away with no
deal at all is a good thing. But is isn't a good thing; if we have a no deal exit
then the EU will of course pursue us for money owed, they'll do that through
legal channels and not only would we still have to pay but we would also face
the legal costs; furthermore it would be nigh on impossible to make any
beneficial trade arrangement with the EU once we'd alienated them so badly,
our economy would be hammered.
In all of the above the real elephant in the room is Theresa May as a
negotiator - she has no history or experience of successful negotiation, that's
why as home secretary and as PM she has been repeatedly dragged through
the courts for not doing things correctly.
Negotiation after the age of 2 no longer consists of stamping your feet,
holding your breath until you turn blue or being a "bloody difficult" woman.
It's about time that she and her party grew up and learned what negotiation
means.
Labour on the other hand have as leader a man who understands
negotiation, who has the ability to listen to others, consider their points of
view and develop consensus. That is the kind of pragmatic person we need to
negotiate on our behalf. Jeremy Corbyn will argue for the best deal for the
UK not by threatening but by the negotiation process which, as all successful
negotiations must, will seek out the areas of mutual benefits and strengthen
those.

VOTE LABOUR BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY PARTY
THAT CAN ACTUALLY NEGOTIATE THE BEST BREXIT DEAL
FOR OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS.
