I was illustrating my point bluntly.
Yeah but in doing so you contradicted yourself. But whatever, I just found a climbing wall in Blackpool and had fun for the first time in a month away for work, so it all suddenly seems rosy what with the endorphins and satisfyingly achy fingers. Everyone I meet here voted brexit, and wanted Bojo for PM. They all think Corbyn's a silly twat. They're not morons, they might be a bit racist, but it's ignorance and frustration at living in a poor shithole, rather than being essentially evil. Of course this is anecdotal, but it makes me think Labour as a big centrist force are finished, because the country has moved to the right, while the hard left has simply become more vocal.

A reasonable analysis of where we are now...

If you've been following the EU referendum thread then you may have seen the conclusion that they're all racist idiots.
Labour still has a chance in these areas, there are a lot of people with long memories of Thatcher which rules out the tories. People want to know what politicians are going to do to help them out of poverty now.
Parties like UKIP have played up to this, they've focused on immediate concerns. Labour, and Corbyn in particular, are viewed as more concerned about their position on Cuba rather than the bloke in Blackpool.
Whether they've not got that message across because that isn't their message or because the media hasn't carried it is another issue.
