Anyone who tries to tell you "just do this and we'll storm it" deserves a slap as far as I'm concerned.
Going to be a long road back mate,
New leader only part of it.
need to sharpen up all around in the quest for power,
Long hard look at why ,northern , scots and Welsh people all jumped ship.
Saying that how far out were people saying Corbyn , Abbott , ect were a liability, even before that Miliband same story same outcome.
Nobody took a blind bit of notice
The anti semitism thing needs dealing with very quickly.
They had ample time to get to grips with that well before the election
The amount of spending announcements was mind blowing, I agreed with quite a bit of it but how many did we really need.
Every other day it was something else , should have just went on about 3 or 4 core issues and gone for it every chance they got.
Who ever thought up the brexit stance needs throwing in the bin, they alienated a huge number of people in the run up and that was a vote/seat loser in the GE.
Should spend a few years getting to grips with why vast amounts of people dont feel engaged by the party, even myself I was just voting against the tories nothing
Much else I didn't have much faith in the front bench. Who in the main were as alien to me as most of the Tories,
I know others I have spoken to have said the same .
They need to get people to believe they are not an open door party , a lot within the party might not like what they hear on the doorstep, but it's there people dont want it when it comes to the ballot box.
I listened to Abbott on tv going on about it the other week I couldn't believe what I was hearing two weeks out .
it's at the very heart of the party which needs looking at.
People should feel they are getting a party that will give them stability in the modern world, jobs housing ect and less grand standing on Brexit ect.
Its seen as a London /Uni centric party now rightly or wrongly.,
London isnt the rest of the UK
It's as different as say Munich to most people in the likes of Burnley ect, thinks different acts different has different values as well , they need to feel included and to feel valued not just a safe vote and put back in the box.till the next election.
This GE has ended that for ever.
To be honest mate I dont think in its present form it's in any way shape or form electable for the foreseeable future sadly.
I dont see any easy fix to get the soul of the party in line with the voters who have turned there back on labour.
That's the last three GE that any even half decent opposition should have walked.
They have let the county and the working class down by sticking with the Corbyn project and weakened the party while doing it, havnt heard anything to say they have learned anything to say it will change.
Johnson just said get Brexit done like a parrot, in fact I think a parrot could have won this election for the tories , he hid phones and hid in freezers bonked yanks , and won without breaking sweat that's how easy it was for him.
They have good people labour on the ground enthusiastic, engaged and putting in the efford , they deserve better, lions led by donkeys. Springs to mind.
Hopefully there are the people within that group with the talent to sort it all out, they deserve a lot better.
