Corbyn was deeply unpopular. Shows the danger of a party being taken over by a small number of motivated activists (in this case Momentum) who appeal to academics rather than the average voter.
Overpromising. Labour rolled out a manifesto with a host of radical changes and promises that baffled voters. How did Labour plan to do all this stuff? Who had even asked for things like free broadband? Johnson promised to moderately increase funding for police and health care, and honour the Brexit referendum.
More Brexit muddling. Turned out voters just wanted Brexit settled, and not another year of wrangling and another referendum. |
That's a pretty weak excuse. Especially now that they know leaving the EU will be terrible for their economy.
Just wanting it "settled' doesn't change the impact.
