You’re forgetting Binners, Blair was an electoral disaster – he lost five million votes*
Its not the 5 million voters lost thats the real issue, its the lies, the spin, the wars, the expenses, the scandals, the PFI’s , the bedroom tax on private rentals, the poking children up the bum, the whitewashing of any investigation in to poking children up the bum, the not listening to legitimate protest and so forth ad infinum, that has DISENFRANCHISED and DISENGAGED 5 million Plus of the electorate- and i was one of those, up until around 2011 / 2012
I’m clearly no labour supporter, but it’s plain to those who allow themselves to see, Corbyn appears to have gelled the disenfranchised and provided them with a voice.
Ignore this and spout “unelectable” at your peril.
He doesnt need to chase the Green vote, The UKIP vote, The Tory vote, the floating vote.
He only needs to get a proportion of the 40 odd% who couldnt be arsed to vote on side.
Remember Conservative only have the mandate of circa 25% of the voting age population, a figure that coincides with people on salaries of £65000 and above who think they rank among the well off. In that figure lie the truly well off, Millionaires and above. So thats 25% voting out of pure self interest.
Theres no one left for Conservative to vote chase but for the odd disgruntled UKIPer
