most probably due to brexit, how come they didnt suffer as badly in the 2017 election?

This is the problem.

Just like the recent election.

 

Guess what will happen next time, if nothing changes?

I just did answer.

 

You might be satisfied by not losing too badly. I have higher standards, I’m afraid.

no you didnt,  i asked "how come they didnt suffer as badly in the 2017 election"? you just said "they lost"...that doesnt answer the question, if labour lost so badly in the 2019 how come they didnt suffer as badly in the 2017 election with socialist policies, when in fact in 2017 they increased their share of the vote i believe, the fact remains that the brexit fiasco was the undoing of labour and not so much the actual policies,

Losing is losing. I don’t agree with the premise of your question. They suffered just as badly in 2017, because they lost.

 

I do agree that Brexit was a factor. The main part it played was to allow Corbyn to look like a dithering fool by not stating a clear position. However,  he took plenty of other opportunities to reinforce that image too.
