It seems like Labours mission is to pave the way for a Reform government. Doing a great job sadly.

Biggest loss is to 'not going to vote'?

Presumably, Labour's plan was to usurp the Tories and become the centre-right party of choice in the UK? Or the current leadership are just very right wing and believe in right wing/free market only policies? Comes to the same thing, I guess. But clearly they're heading electorally in the wrong 》》

Note; You can't win over Reform voters so stop trying.

There aren’t enough surprised pikachu memes in the world to convey my sarcastic surprise.

So the thing everyone told them would happen, which has happened to everyone else following the same strategy, did in fact happen. Shocking.

It’s just like their 2015 strategy to kill off Clegg and the Lib Dem’s that resulted in Cameron winning a majority…

This is a blemish on an otherwise good study. Asking people to specify a preferred "Level of Immigration" just weights the answer towards right-wing views and splits/distorts the rest. Similarly, asking if Labour are good/bad on immigration lumps together people with polar opposite views.

What an incredible surprise :)

Labour have been told many times that appealing to fascists would not give them the fascists and would make them love the sane people. And yet they keep going with the fascist-loving policies. 🤔

Labour's slump is significant. Labour’s vote has splintered between indecision and other left-liberal parties, with its rightward shift yielding little gain. Labour's main competition for their 2024 voters are other left-liberal parties. They have time to win them back, but a tough path to do it

I don't know how the question was asked to respondents,but I'd suggest how the results are presented is ambiguous. My #1 reason for disliking Lab now (+ them losing my vote in next year's local election) is "Immigration" - but not because "small boats" but because they are illiberal and xenophobic.

"strategy" seems a bit of stretch

I'm willing to sacrifice my complete box set of 'The West Wing' flagging Series 1, Episode 19 - Let Bartlet be Bartlet as the one to watch for these guys....

What I'm seeing in the immigration graph is that around 13% of the UK voted Labour while answering 0-3, 15% did while answering 4-6, and 6% did while answering 7-10 - and the dropoff in Labour support in the first group is especially steep.

The complete collapse of Starmer's Labour is the latest and clearest example of why the liberal obsession with "let's just all work very hard to get the neoliberal corpocrat elected and everything will be fine". There's compromising, which is good, and then there's capitulation to these ghouls

That's was kind of what I was inferring
