Leftwing Brexiters want out from the 'transnational juggernaut' | Larry Elliott

It's easy to see why Corbyn and McDonnell are reluctant to put a remain option on a new ballot

Politics was once a simple affair. On one side were the lefties, unhappy with the status quo and agitating for something different. On the other side were the conservatives, suspicious of change. When it comes to Brexit, though, the natural order of things has been reversed. The right has come up with all sorts of visions - most of them dystopian - of Britain's future outside the European Union. The left, for the most part, has spent its time praying for the vote in June 2016 to be reversed.

It's a bit more complicated than that. There are those on the left who understand that there was a reason people who had never voted before came out in their millions to vote for leave, and who say that something must be done for communities hollowed out by the failed policies of the past four decades. They even have a soundbite: tough on Brexit, tough on the causes of Brexit.
