Labour party demise Is deeper than those you speak of I think its traditional core voters no longer feel part of them , listening to ex voters on radio yesterday they feel they have moved away from them , they say Labour was thier vote and ticked them half hearted then something snapped :Originally Posted by SLUDGE FACTORY
Stuff like Brexit not accepting the vote.
Supports free movement
Hatred of Blairism and centrist politics
Salisbury poisoning reactions and initial doubts around Russian involvement.
Alleged antisemitism
Rightly or wrongly they are not deemed as patriotic.
Not Royalist enough.
Judgemental of leavers and working class views in areas like Hartlepool
Become strangely insular ( ie not for all people in UK )
Appear inner City focused which conflicts with lots of less wealthy parts of UK
Woke driven.
Anti Union Jack / white van ingerlander man .
Has become a middle class party .
Lack of new policies instead is just critical of others.
I also think they lack quality in depth on thier bench .
Wales is totally different, they despise anybody/thing Tory, even if they delivered a positive outcome , don't seem to want Independence , didn't like Europe, which privately I think pleases the Tories as long as they have some representation ( they don't need another SNP on their doorstep) .
It's very sad for Labour however it's been coming and the UK requires decent opposition.
I do hope they repair itself however it could be bloody .
Perhaps becoming a pro UK Green Socalist movement with dynamic policies ( not old left Socalist ones) may help ?
