It's not difficult is it?
I'm guessing the general population wants:
Anti austerity
Invest in infrastructure and NHS
Fairer taxation
Collect corporation taxes
Better schools
More equal society
Don't be a cunt

"It's the economy, stupid", NHS and immigration*. If you don't win those, you won't get elected.

*post Blair.

It's not the economy any more though is it? The Brexit vote showed that. People voted against their own personal economic well being on a point of principle. Within the Brexit polling (beyond Leave or Remain) immigration polled as more important than the economy.

Insane, but that's what happened.

It's still the economy. People voted to alleviate the pain they've suffered for years due to economic inequality. They may have got the root cause wrong, having been fed lies by tabloids, but they know what it is they're experienced.
