It's almost suspicious how they're managing to lose favour right now. They could probably keep their mouths shut until election and win, but somehow they're coming out with loads of needlessly controversial things. Curious.
I mean, they've been fumbling ever since they suspended Corbyn for his interview about the EHRC report. It's just now finally catching up to them due to people realising that people were onto something by calling them "Red Tories."
They're still miles better than the actual tories, what are people who are losing confidence voting for instead?
It's anecdotal but I've heard a significant amount of Anglos talking about how they wish they could vote for the SNP. When both parties are austerity liberals a lot of the success for the ones out of government is in high turnout. If they don't motivate or even actively discourage voters (see barring a bunch of leftists from running or banning them from the party) they are liable to lose just on lack of votes. FPTP helps with that, which is why they should support the popular vote, but won't. "Controlled opposition" seems too tame a label for the current Labour leadership and people just don't bother voting anymore. Maybe Corbyn makes his own "Workers' Party" and gets to take the blame for spoiler votes in 2025.
They're even blaming their loss on ULEZ now, rather than on them shooing away every engaged and hopeful leftist activist.
