I've long thought that labour did almost nothing to win power in the last election but it was just the tories doing more to lose it. Regardless labour thought they had found some secret sauce and have just been quadrupling down on awful policy after awful policy.

In my mind (hope) a lot of that is the coupling of (1) a lot of people tune out and don't actually pay attention to day to day political developments and (2) a general legacy media failure to properly cover and contextualize a lot of what's going on. I.e. not that that many people actually like it.
