    Now they don't have to worry about immigrants and being in the EU, do you think the Labour Party can regroup and become the party of the working class, of the North and Midlands - or will they lose out to UKIP?

    Ukip and farage are not for the working class. I can't relate to any party atm but farage would be the last person I'd vote Enoch in disguise.
    And to answer your question hope so.

    The Labour Party have asked their supporters to vote for an un-democratic institution

    That is against everything the Labour Party stands for - hence the luke warm approach by Corbyn.

    And they have done this because they believe they and the unions are not strong enough to protect workers rights against any Tory changes - completely relying on the EU to do that job for them.

    What the Labour Party should have done, if they were cute enough to think in this way, is to make a pact with the Leave Campaign to protect employment and environmental legislation in exchange that they could then campaigne for democracy by supporting Brexit.

    What they actually did was more or less sit on the fence and as a result they have lost millions of their supporters.

    Employment and Environmental laws will now appear as part of the UKs political debate - we need a strong Labour leadership to gather support for these important issues

    This may be an unpopular view on here but I don't see any way the Labour party can regroup while Corbyn is leader. He has massive support amongst party members but his MPs are very divided over him and this will not change.

    While every he says that there is no upper limit to immigration, he is simply unelectable..

    I think he's unelectable on many policies which probably isn't a big surprise coming from me but the problem for him and the Labour party is that there are many Labour MPs who think the same.

    He's the best thing to happen to the conservative party. No chance of getting in whilst he is in charge.

    And part of the issue is that the labour MPS (and all MPs as it happens) represent themselves and the party promises.

    Rather than the bloke on the street that that they claim to represent and vote on the issues that the very constituents ask them to.

    If that makes sense. I've had a few beers now but know what I mean to say lol

    I agree. Westminster has too many career politicians who very quickly forget about the people who put them where they are. They're in public service but many of the prefer self service.

    The Leave campaign are not in Government.

    As you can see they are already dropping all their promises like dead flies.
