Will implement whatever is decided.
That is actually a very clever political policy, it will get remainers on board, non-extremist working-class Labour brexiters.
It will lose the openly racist working class but they were a lost cause anyway and belong with the Tories/Brexit party.
Any remainers who want to stay in the EU and consider that to be the most important issue should vote Labour, Lib Dem or SNP depending on who is most likely to win in your area.
Corbyn is a total waste of space but looks like he has some sensible advisors somewhere (I doubt he came up with this policy on his own)
2016: Referendum Campaign: Despite campaigning all over the country for Remain, Corbyn is accused of being too equivocal and not backing Remain definitely enough, since he dared to mention that some things about the EU require improvement. Everyone suspects this is because he's a longstanding Eurosceptic and secretly wants to leave.
2019: Corbyn's policy of remaining neutral and not having the party back either Remain or Leave definitely is "a very clever political policy". But of course - despite it being entirely consistent with the exact same nuanced appraisal of the rights and wrongs of both sides that he was slated for three years earlier - he can't possibly have come up with it on his own.
