Historically, the Labour party has been more of a social movement than a party seeking power, i.e. it gave a voice to the working classes. That rarely led to power, which is what Blair and Brown recognised, but since losing the 2010 election the party has completely lost it's way. The leadership now is so out of it's depth, and so unelectable that, frustratingly, a long period in the political wilderness beckons, if it survives at all.
At a time when a strong and united opposition is needed more than ever, we're left with Corbyn and his wishy-washy brand of far left activism.

All Labour cares about is power, in the end. They are not in power, so they have no influence and what they did have they have thrown away by the "will of the people" mantra.
