  • Yes, part of it is because Labour’s base has many leave voters. This screwed Labour in 2019 as no-one could square that circle (amongst other problems).

    But also: even if there’s a very real “brexgret” thing, good luck getting anyone to admit they voted wrong. “Leave” became such a central identity to many people that poking that would have unpredictable emotional reactions.

    Given how long a rejoining process might take anyway it’s better to leave it for a while, make some smaller and less controversial agreements with the EU.
