It is fair to say that Labour took a hit in 2019 because a significant part of their 'red wall' votes from 2017 and earlier went to the Tories mainly in response to 'Get Brexit done'.

But majority of seats for a Brexit Tory party and a majority of votes for parties who held the opposite position can co-exist - and did!
People keep quoting this, didn't get 50% of the vote mantra, but we all know that this is the way elections are and always have been decided in this country.
Yet every time labour, and in this case remainers, lose they trot it out like it's a shock, outrageous and shouldn't be allowed. They just cannot accept that they lost and move on.
And the longer they are in that mode the longer it will take to have an effectgive opposition in Parliament.
It really is time to give it a rest.
