Perhaps Jeremy Corbyn doesn't seem like a strong leader so his qualities have difficulty shining through the propaganda swirl around him?
My biggest concern, because I still have friends and family in the UK, is that these poor people who blame the EU for so much which has next to nothing to do with the EU but a lot to do with Lon don, are going to be extremely dissappointed, if not angry and feeling betrayed, when Brexit proves to be a giant hoax or a fanciful mirage and nothing changes for the better outside the EU, on the contrary. Who will they blame then for their woes? Will the nationalist right in the UK find some other scapegoat?
They'd rather be linked to the United States than the European Union, really? That simply has to be based on ignorance and delusion.
