Mandelson, Watson and their shit gang of Blairdad grifters lack the self awareness to acknowledge that they were and continue to be most unappealing, unelectable aspect of the Labour Party.
The problem with that assertion is that they actually did get elected and formed a government.
Three times.
Unlike Labour in 2010, 2015, 2017 or 2019.

The entire policy base of the Corbyn years was exactly this.
It was the politician that was undermined (and admittedly in some ways flawed), not the politics. This is lost on the Labour Right who spent the last 5 years salting the earth beneath their own feet rather than develop a compelling political standpoint, and/or counterpoint to the rampant populism and poundshop libertarianism the Tories are managing to sell.
Listening to voters is only useful if you're able to translate that to a clear, compelling political offering.

Currently the labour party is a shitted bed, and I'm personally a little glad I don't sleep in it anymore.
