I oppose them on their ultra-Thatcherite economic requirements.
And it's hard to see how you could even have a second EU referendum without the Tories being ousted. What could possibly force them to do it?
If anyone was even trying to democratize the EU and pressure if to be humane on economics, it would be different. I've been shown no evidence that it's even possible to make the organization stop demanding cuts, privatization and "labor market flexibility"-i.e., the right treat workers as if we're back in 1847.
Why couldn't it have just reflected the social democratic values of Europe from the start? It's not like the people of the European countries wanted an organization that would impose permanent austerity.
(btw...I only use call the guy "Jeremy" because that's what everybody calls him. Why is that such a big deal to you? Is there something wrong with having a party leader that isn't a dismissive, cynical bastard? Why do you equate simple admiration for a decent man with idolatry?)
