Yes, the Labour party are in a poor position. But I can't see any circumstance where those traditional Labour voters who voted Leave would vote for the Tories in any upcoming election, they will overwhelmingly still vote for Labour as there is no other alternative. Labour needs to bite the bullet and come out with a clear stance on this, its probably the only way to stop the Tories and any Labour member will surely see that irrespective of how they voted in the referendum. Policy positions can change as the situations that we find ourselves in changes too, nothing is set in stone with politics like this.
They also need to stop worrying about their traditional voters and focus on what they can do to entice the Tory voters who voted to stay, of which there are a few million, and use the middle ground to win an election, but they have to be bold to do that and as I say I am not convinced Corbyn has enough hold on power to push that through the party.
