A competent Politician could have shared a Platform to put their own vision of the UKs continued membership forward....and would have put political differences aside.
No doubt you will recall during the debate I pointed out to you and others that you would have to hold your nose and support cameron.
Bizzarre isn't it then....that Corbyn couldn't do this?
You make my above point perfectly, that politicians could put aside their differences and work alongside one another.
Your views and and support of Corbyn are frequently challenged on this discussion forum.
Finally we get there AAS...take a bow you are now half right...and now it's my turn too smirk.
He was willing to go on TV....but chose a comedy show instead of a serious political one....and having secured this outlet to present his support for the UK staying in the EU....what was the new late night King of Comedy's contribution to persuading voters to remain?....as you point out AAS, it was to tell us that the EU isn't that great.
I never once held my nose and supported Cameron. You may recall at the time that I was voting against Cameron - against his ability to remove us from the EU without ****ing it up. And lo and behold Cameron himself, despite promising to stay on, realised he had created a monster and quit.
I have plenty of times held my nose and voted Lib Dem because I always vote against the Tories. I never vote Tory and never will.
Holding up the coming together of Galloway and Farage as an example of the way things should be done is as crazy as crazy gets IMO.
You are judging someone from your values, but he doesn't share your values.
This is a fundamentally different approach to what you are looking for. There was a yes / no vote. Each option was backed by half of the Conservative party. The fact that you still see a Remain vote as backing Cameron is why you should see the point not sharing platform with Cameron. If Corbyn had shared a platform with Cameron then you would now be talking about him backing Cameron so in that respect he did the right thing.
Corbyn's job was to get the Labour vote out for Remain. It wasn't to try to convert Tory voters - that was Cameron's job.
You may not see 'Last Leg' as a valuable source of media coverage but you are not the kind of person Corbyn was trying to reach. 'Last Leg' is part comedy but part political / social comment. It was set up to report on sport for the disabled. This is exactly the kind of media that people with empathic leanings will watch and that is a Corbyn audience. Those people want the truth not the threats that Cameron was offering.
Cameron called a referendum for two reasons - to stop losing votes to UKIP and to calm the anti EU section in his party. He called it on the assumption that there would be a Remain vote. He was wrong.
His job - once he had called a referendum was to get his own MPs and Tory voters to back Remain. He failed to get members of his own cabinet to back his stance. He failed to get Tory voters to vote his way. He failed to stick around to clear up the mess he had created.
Corbyn's job was to get the Labour vote for Remain. He succeeded in getting his MPs to back Remain. There was less than a handful of Labour MPs that didn't back Remain. He succeeded in getting 70% of Labour voters to back Remain.
You don't agree with Corbyn's policies and you don't agree with his methods - neither of these things are a surprise.
But as party leaders each of them are responsible for getting their voters to back the party line. Corbyn had 70% of his, Cameron had under 50% of his. From that it seemed one of their approaches worked and one didn't.
