I am neutral in this argument - initially voted for Corbyn as leader, but wanted him to leave after 2017. Didn't vote for Keir in the leadership elections and frustrated by labour over the past few years.
What happened?
Labour sacrificed left wing voters concentrated in metropolitan areas to gain middle class semi rural votes. Running a campaign that was almost entirely about being stable and competent.
The overall vote went down, the vote share went up and it was much more widely distributed.
This was a tactic for this specific circumstance and has worked wonders.
The right of the tory party voted remain - the centre ground almost entirely voted Labour and lib dem - that is the largest pool of voters.
Delighted by the week since the election.
