but increasing party membership to the become the biggest political party in Europe off the back of a radical left platform probably isn't fuck all compared to the majority of the 650 droids in Parliament.

Does this really mean anything though, what did they do with it? There's an argument to be made that focusing on the membership's wants rather than the electorate as a whole was damaging to the party on a broader scale.

Is it even an argument? Focusing on the concerns of an engaged and ideologically active membership is a recipe for disaster, as the Tories are currently demonstrating. (Brexit was very much driven by the party membership, not the party leadership).
