You said it was Labour party policy in the 70’s, it was not, the same way as it wasn’t Conservative party policy in the 2015 election, despite many in the party and even cabinet wanting to leave the EU.
Which part of.
The ‘Labour Party’ ‘‘votes two to one’’ ( in favour of Brexit ),obviously including Benn,Heffer and Shore among others,at a conference specifically concerning the matter.But which was ‘somehow’ then over ruled by the main remainer players in the form of Wilson,Callaghan and Jenkins with them predictably choosing instead to ally with remainer Thatcher among other Cons.
Doesn’t supposedly fit what ‘I said’ ?.
IE you’re confusing the wishes of the Labour administration ‘cabinet leadership’ with the ‘Labour Party’.Unlike the Cons in 2015 who are the same ideoligically federalist party as that under Heath and will always be so.Which is why there was no place for Powell within it as opposed to EEC/EU supporting Heath,Thatcher,Major,Cameron and now May and side kick Hammond while it seems strange why only Davis chose to support the Grass Roots Out campaign but didn’t seem to want to kick off a by election by walking away from the Cons.Unlike Powell.
