Peer pressure, problem for him is he's quite alone on his side of the fence, just has a few oddballs like George Galloway for company

Labour voters & MPs = predominately cosmopolitan progressives,

But I've never doubted Mr 'impartial on Brexit' Citizen smith was a closet brexiteer, just not quite for the same set of reasons a Farage & co. Probably mostly because the EU is bed fellows with all the dodgy Banker types. But if he ever becomes PM he will quickly realize that they can punch him alot harder than he can punch them.
