A Missed Opportunity for Labour

Yesterday's March for a new referendum seems to have been the second biggest demonstration of the last hundred years.  As such you would expect politicians to be falling over themselves to address it. However, despite his general love of such occasions Jeremy Corbyn didn't attend. In doing so he and the Labour Party are missing a crucial opportunity to seize the initiative, largely because of his own hostility to the EU.

The Liberal Democrats and the Co-operative Party are currently the only parties committed to a referendum, but it seems to be the only way to resolve what kind of Brexit if any people want.  The arguments and positions put forward by the Leave campaign and the government are so self-contradictory that the way out is to go back to the voters and ask what the priorities are.
