Labour's dramatic loss of support came down to the Iraq war, Gordon Brown's pathetic attempt to be PM without a mandate, the myths around his causing the financial crash, and a natural desire for change after three terms of labour in office. These should not be insurmountable issues for a unifying Labour leader.
Re-read this. You are fucking mad if you think Corbyn, who hasn't even been leader for a year, is going to overcome all the things you listed in the face of a hostile media, world of austerity, and post-truth political climate.
@William.
The tories were split down the middle on the issue, Labour needed to capitalise more on that. That does not mean I don't blame Cameron for calling the fucking thing in the first place, and Johnson for lying and pandering to prejudice.
