But they lost it because they didn't appeal to middle England.
You can't win a majority in Britain without bringing middle England with you. Blair knew this, Labour have proved it in the last two elections.
Middle England saw Miliband as 'Red Ed' and wouldn't vote for him. As appealing as moar left is, it is not the answer.

12 million people voted left of centre. as of now. If we define loc as labour, lib dem, snp.
9 million voted for conservatives.electoral reform might help here.
of course the 3 million who voted UKIP might need some attention.
plus the 1 million green voters.that's 299 seats vs the 319.
