Labour passed a motion at its party conference in September that it would seek a general election as its first choice, but left open the option of supporting a second referendum. “I’ve had hundreds of emails of good left remain voters, lifelong Labour who will not vote for us now,” he wrote on Twitter. Why would that principle not apply to a Labour government?”In the Guardian, Corbyn insisted his party would not try to overturn the result of the 2016 referendum. According to a YouGov poll of more than 5,000 people commissioned by the People’s Vote, Labour’s support among 18 to 29-year-olds is currently at 60%. However, if Labour backed a form of Brexit, support for Corbyn’s party among the young would halve to 33%.
