Funniest thing ever was how the unions, I repeat the UNIONS could be pro-EU during the referendum
The unions used to be strongly against the EU, the unions trust the EU more than the Conservatives to protect worker's rights, that's all their is to it. Alongside some possible corruption.
The left used to be more Eurosceptic, mostly because they saw the EU as an evil globalist agenda to destroy the working classes, etc etc. The right, being the traditional proponents of globalisation, did not care at all about that. Thatcher supported the single market (but took a hard stance to win some concessions).
In the UK, the situation has kind of reversed, though Jeremy Corybn himself doesn't appear to have much love for the EU, being part of the 'old left', and both major parties will take the UK out of the single market, therefore ending freedom of movement.
Corbyn has been anti-EU for decades, it's why he was so half-hearted during the referendum. Even Dennis Skinner is against it, and he is practically an embodiment of the old Labour-left.

The same organisation that destroyed workers' rights in Sweden, which used to be a paradise for union members until the Laval case destroyed it and allowed wage-dumping deluxe. Eastern Europeans only work here though, they don't live here (except for gypsy beggars) so we don't notice them that much.
I have no issue with that they're working here but it's unacceptable that we're barred from imposing Swedish wages on the employers. The government has made an effort to improve the situation from what I've understood and the Sweden Democrats luckily supports the left when the left is in the right so hopefully something will be done to contravene the EU on this issue in the near future.
