When British voters go to the polls Thursday, it probably will be their last chance to stop Brexit. If they don’t, Jeremy Corbyn will bear much of the blame. OP-ED: "Is Corbyn handing Brexit to Boris Johnson?" by Will Marshall, PPI President and Founder When British voters go to the polls Thursday, it probably will be their last chance to stop Brexit. If they don’t, Jeremy Corbyn will bear much of the blame. Wait – isn’t the Labour Party leader running to oust the man actually driving the UK toward Brexit, Prime Minister Boris Johnson? Yes, but polls show Johnson’s Conservatives holding on to a double-digit lead over Labour. That’s remarkable, considering the sorry mess Tory leaders have made of Brexit over the last three years. If Johnson has the electoral wind at his back, it’s not because he’s so mesmerizing. It’s mainly because of Corbyn’s epic unpopularity with UK voters. A mere 22 percent approve of Labour’s chief, while 58 percent say he’s doing badly. Thirty-six percent approve of Johnson, and 43 percent rate him negatively. By choosing as their leader a hardline socialist whose views seem frozen in the early 1980s, Labour may have handed this election – and Brexit – to Johnson. That’s a high price to pay for indulging left-wing activists’ demands for doctrinal purity and penchant for anti-capitalist posturing. (Democrats, are you paying attention?)
