They can't be good Labour voters if they're considering voting Tory. Would you rather have a Labour Party in 'disarray' in government for the next five years or the Tories?
And for anyone who thinks Corbyn is a weak leader, not strong opposition etc etc:
The Labour party aren't going to win though
Two years ago, on this very forum, people had their heads in the sand and ignored anyone who said Ed Milliband was a weak leader and wasn't going to get elected. The same thing is happening again here, in that there is a majority of posters here, who totally refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem with the party and it's not just something dreamed up by the right-wing press.
For sure, the press are taking advantage of the situation and sticking the boot in, but until people in all parts of the party realise there's a problem, and get together to try and find a way of appealing to the people who vote in areas which actually make a difference to the make up of parliament, as opposed to preaching to the converted, then, until the Tories make a massive screw up ( which obviously they will one day ), we're in trouble.
I agree with your post in some respects, but I also think it's important, especially for working class people and traditional Labour voters, to remind themselves why the Tories are not on our side.
You don't need to look any further than brutal reforms on welfare.
In 2010, around 25,000 three-day emergency food supplies were given out at food banks across the country.
In 2016, just under 1.2m three-day emergency food supplies were given out by food banks.
The main reason? Late benefit payment or change in benefits. Followed closely by low income.
That is a mind-blowing increase over the course of Tory and Tory lead governments. The area with most food bank dependency? The north west.
I'm sure that welfare reform, also along with blind eye taken towards housing reform, has also had a huge contribution to the amount of homeless people currently living in the streets. More than doubled since 2010.
I don't disagree with anything you typed mate, but the vast majority of people who vote in marginals aren't affected. People might make the right noises about inequalities and poverty brought about the government, but when push comes to shove, most people will vote for what's best for them, and their families, so you have to find a way to appeal to them. Once you've got them voting for you and you're in power, then you can fix what's wrong, but you can't fix it if you're on the outside.
