And the pro-remain Labour voters? What of them? I have plenty of reservations when it comes to the Labour party, but in terms of what the party membership wanted and voted for (should he ignore the democratic will of the party?), plus what the average Labour supporter wanted (both remain and leave), Corbyn was in a pretty difficult position trying to keep everybody happy in order to to have any chance at getting across the line. Compounding that is the fact that a divided country is a potentially volatile country. Maybe Corbyn's position is more nuanced and mature than you give it credit for? (This to be taken in isolation and not seen as a ringing endorsement of Corbyn or where we are, but rather as an illustration of things being more complex from his point of view than just ignoring five million votes; unless, of course, you believe that is his role.)
