• An examination of 2017

    • May doesn't have an ounce of charisma in her entire body.
    • May was so far ahead in the polls that she decided to put out an actively bad manifesto in order to ram through some unpopular changes. (I guarantee Boris won't make that mistake next election.)
    • Corbyn managed to hoover up the 48% anti-Brexit votes despite not really being anti-Brexit. That ship has sailed for Labour, they've lost the pro-Brexit voters.
    • The polling data is pretty ambiguous on whether the "youthquake", if it even existed, had any impact on seats.

    Not sure how relevant this is to Boris v. Starmer

  • Corbyn managed to hoover up the 48% anti-Brexit votes despite not really being anti-Brexit. That ship has sailed for Labour, they've lost the pro-Brexit voters.

    But.

    "Among the 2017 Labour voters, 71% voted Remain and 29% Leave. There’s little change from Labour’s Remain/Leave divide in 2015: 67% and 33%, respectively."
