I read an article earlier which said that all the other major left leaning parties and groups in Europe, to which Labour in the UK have strong ties, are very strongly in favour of the EU, so to adopt an anti-EU position would be put themselves outside that grouping as well, which wouldn't be a good idea.
The Socialist party in Spain, PSOE has a history of corruption and creaming EU money to line their own pockets. One of the reasons that Podemos and Syriza were formed, were because of the corruption of the traditional Socalist parties and general acceptance of punitive austerity measures against the very poorest of society.
I thought Corbyn would have had more in common with Podemos and Syriza, than the traditonal Corrupt Socialist parties of Europe. However, he has decided to join the gravy train. He was all talk and thought more of the party and the unions, than the country.
