The Left generally has two schools of thought re: why Corbynism failed:
1) It was brought down by hostile external forces (the media, PLP etc.)
2) It lacked the organic, rooted institutional architecture of a true, democratic “social movement”
There’s a kernel of truth in these…
Haven’t read a single sentence that better explains why campaigners are struggling to land blows on Farage than this from @Dannythefink and it chimes exactly with what hear day in/out - whatever Farage/Reform’s flaws many people don’t think it can be worse than what we have now.
@LeftieStats Do you know what makes your model so much more favourable to Reform + unfavourable to Labour than others? Not necessarily a criticism, just curious.
MRPs are an interesting snapshot of public opinion but for context we are about as far from the next election as this poll was from the 2024 one. Who knows what can happen in 5 years!
