General Election 2019

Just looking at some numbers. The Tories added around 350k votes vs 2017. Labour lost around 2.6m. Lib Dems added around 1.3m.

There is a myth being built that Labours core vote deserted them for the Tories, but the topline movement in numbers doesn't seem to support that. More that Labour vote went to Lib Dem, Green, SNP and Brexit, or stayed at home, and that fracturing gave the Tories a landslide.

Has anyone seen a deeper analysis of where 2017 labour migrated to?

It looks like tactical voting failed completely.

Staying the bleeding obvious, but

• Labour needs a broad tent that stretches from the centre to the left.
  
• at the next election there will be an unusually high number of marginals, and opportunity for Labour to transform it's position.
  
• If tactical voting is to work it can't wait until the next election cycle starts. It needs an alliance of people working on it and promoting it from today onwards.
