That reflects more on Corbyn’s bungling and in-fighting in the party – voters just throwing up their hands and giving the Tories their opening. Perhaps that would have still been enough to offset the benefits emerging from an explicitly anti-Brexit Labour that promised a second referendum, perhaps not (as I’m contending, given the general sentiment that Brexit was a huge mistake). It’s all counterfactuals now, in any case. The UK is in for a rough time no matter what, and I’m more interested in seeing how Scotland extricates itself from this mess going forward.
