How about the millions who criticised and rejected it because of its contents?

In life, there are people who will have a different or very different viewpoint from others.

We have polarised politics, where the vast majority totally rejected Corbynism, which infiltrates the manifesto.

There a LOT of people who dislike the Conservatives and Johnson, but nowhere near the amount of Labour.

That's a democracy.

The lunatics protesting outside Westminster and Downing Street, were supported by the Socialist Worker!!!

Being a Socialist now has significant negative connotations, which has some justification.

When you see these protesters, Antifa groups, filled with absolute hatred for anyone or anything that doesn't think exactly as they do, then that will further alienate any future hopes for socialists to ever get back into power.

When the vast majority have just spoken, you are not going to persuade through aggression and attempted intimidation.

You won't change perceptions overnight and there won't be an election for 5 years.

For Labour, it's a long haul and they MUST use this time extremely wisely.

Failure to do so, will see its demise.
