Where did the Labour vote go in 2019?


In 2017, Labour was committed to respecting the Brexit vote. We won more votes than any 'New Labour' election bar 1997.

By 2019, the 'centrists', or 'Blairites' persuaded conference and then Corbyn to ditch that policy in favour of the '2nd referendum' position.

THAT is what led to Labour losing 2 million votes compared to 2017. A centrist policy foisted on a socialist leadership.

Lesson: don't listen to the centrists!

Even in the 'disaster' of 2019, Corbyn got more votes than Miliband, Brown and Blair in 2005.
