It is true that the voices raised in support of Brexit are VERY LOUD. But if we take a step back, we should realise that they are also few.

And of that minority, the number of people who would also vote Labour in future is much, much smaller.

So Labour shouldn't tie themselves in knots over them.

So the only people who still want Brexit are the fraction of that 37% who continue to believe that Leave was the right decision.

(Many will have changed their minds. Many more will have passed away in the last 9 years, as have many Remain voters.)
