Is still at top volume in Great Britain. If the voters only hear lies, that's what they believe.

Corbyn defeats bid by activists to campaign for remain at election

Jeremy Corbyn has seen off an attempt by grassroots activists to force Labour to adopt an out-and-out remain position before a general election.

Amid chaotic scenes at Labour’s annual conference in Brighton, delegates rejected a motion, hammered out in a late-night meeting on Sunday, that would have seen Labour pledge to campaign for remain.

Corbyn has made clear that he would prefer to defer the decision about which side Labour will take in a referendum, until after a general election.

He said on Sunday, “we would put both views and say look, this is the best deal we could get; this is the remain and hopefully reform option. These are the choices before you.”

This is why he's unpopular. It's not right wing propaganda, it's his determination to sit on the fence on the most important topic in politics.

That's why the Conservatives are currently ahead in the polls. His unclear position on Brexit isn't helping matters.

Had Labour had an effective leader, the conservatives probably wouldn't be in power right now.
