(50,254 posts)I accept that you put stopping Brexit first. fine.
And that you're going to keep voting SNP and that's fine.
I didn't realize you were talking about Brexit when you referred to "clear blue water".
BTW I'm not a Leave supporter. I'm simply a Remain supporter who thinks other issues matter as well.
Nothing I posted was about trying to get you or anyone else to stop fighting Brexit.
I'll just ask this:
Why shouldn't we assume that Labour's support would plummet it if went all-out "stop Brexit"? Why shouldn't we assume that that would give the Tories a huge lead and give them a chance to regain a majority in a snap election?
It's not as though they'd gain anywhere near enough votes to make up for the massive losses they'd face. It's not as if there are any large groups of voters who would rally to a party with an all-out "stop Brexit" stance.
