Isn't Jeremy Corbyn also super anti-EU?

 

He’s always been neutral and critical, he believes it is not democratic which I also agree with. He believes we should have remained and fought the issues that Britain has with the EU from the inside but he isn’t that bothered about leaving or staying. If another election happened before the “Brexit deadline” he would have no problem taking us out if it was still what the people wanted or he would happily remain if that is what opinion shifted to.

He’s ironically more anti-EU (despite being neutral) than May since she was pro-EU up until David Cameron resigned.

There won't be an EU in 10 years, it's on its last legs now and I say this as a remainer lmao

You've said some thing before about Brexit and the future of the EU and the UK... many of them not turning out right. A few examples:

"Article 50 hasn't and may never even get put into action depending on further negotiations." (obviously wrong)

"A [US-UK] trade deal has been verbally confirmed and is expected within months." (8 months later and negotiations haven't even been announced yet and there's no indication they will anytime soon)

"Japan isn't going to pick up and leave anytime soon. They know which side their bread is buttered. They've got too much investment in the UK to just relocate" (the biggest Japanese banks are leaving to Frankfurt and Amsterdam)

"There's current talks about forming a trade agreement with the EU as it is in both of their best interest." (these talks have still not started a year later)

"Hardly surprising, it is in their [Scotland] best interest to leave even though I would prefer them to remain. It's only a matter of time until other countries start to follow suit. I can't see the EU lasting for years to come anymore." (what is the timespan of "a matter of time" and "for years to come"? The EU has guaranteed existence for the next five years at least))

You also liked this comment by @Benji, which I assume implies some degree of agreement:

"It looks like the UK is going to go for a soft Brexit anyway, all of these "punishments" (which is hilarious but hey, Germans have a reputation for a reason) only come into effect if the UK it's self wanted a hard Brexit, which it wont." (the discussion is about hard, harder or hardest Brexit now, not soft/hard Brexit)

 

 

But to try to convince you that the EU will stick together and perhaps even expand, remember that EU support is rising and far-right parties across Western Europe are slowly shifting to a softer Euroskepticism. This is happening to the Front National and the FPÖ. EU support is rising, Eurozone support is rising and there's no signs of any anti-EU movements gaining momentum anywhere in the EU to the point where it's likely that the EU falls apart. I wonder what country you expect to be first.. France? Oh wait, they just elected Europe most Europhile president with an overwhelming victory. Germany? Oh wait, Merkel remains unbothered. The Netherlands? The most Europhile party in our country is in next government. Poland? EU support >80%.
