Compelling reason Labour fell short #3

 

The sad and terrible truth of the Labour Party campaign was that no one gave a stuff about what they were saying. The campaign failed to connect with any but the Labour diehards. The campaign, as the vote showed, was a disaster

Even the Greens pitched more appropriately.

The negative, nagging, envious tone from Labour was a turn-off.
