They managed to sway over a not-insignificant chunk of the typically Labour-voting working class in 2019, even in Labour heartlands, and then lost that support in record speed.
Good riddance.

Not a change necessarily, but anything to get the villainous Tories out. They're the Republicans of the UK.

Turns out if you promise to level up the north, then get drummed out by a pack of retards who stop levelling up the north, and then those same retards make everything cost twice as much, you will lose your support in the north.

> They're the Republicans of the UK.
It may seem like that on the surface, but in reality both parties are basically cut from the same cloth - they are all Blairites underneath. Also the UK at this point is basically a quangocracy, largely thanks to Blair, making it very difficult for parliament to effect change, no matter who is in charge.
> Not a change necessarily, but anything to get the villainous Tories out.
Terrible reason to vote for anybody. You should always vote positively, i.e. because you support a party, not vote negatively just because you hate the opposition - where is the sense in that? Sure, you can celebrate for all of 45 seconds because you stuck it to them, but what happens now? For the next 5 years (probably the next 20) you're stuck with a party you weren't sure about right from the start.

its the same thing here in the states, honestly. Ds are just going a bit far on the "bad cop" half of the act.

well sometimes the only viable action is to be rid of the worst-case scenario by any voting means necessary, because it is so awful nothing must be left to chance
