The Labour Party is in the desparate stages of denial after being shattered by its huge defeat.
Anyone with a detached view can clearly see the various strands that drew together to vaporize their support, all it takes is a sense of honest objectivity, a basic level of intelligence, and enough interest to have followed Labour's campaign.
In other words, anyone remotely bothered can come up with the reasons on a sheet of A4 in about ten minutes.
What several weeks of puffed up navel gazing by a failed former leader and a few stuffed shirts is going to reveal that is different, and therefore dishonest and avoiding the issue, remains to be seen.
Hi Ed - let me save you some time here -
Labour has not had an electable leader since Michael Foot hobbled into view, with the exception of John Smith (gone too soon) and Tony Blair, (gone too late).
The Electorate is not stupid, if you offer pie-in-the-sky nonsense as policies, they will turn their backs on you.
If you are a Party that has lost anything resembling a grip on reality, and is busy becoming an ideological talking shop, the notion that the Electorate will see you as a group of people that lives in the real world vanishes into thin air.
If a one Party convinces the electorate that it will do what it says, and the other Party offers cloud cuckoo land and an unpleasant narrow-minded bigot as a leader, then the first Party get elected.
If you want to think about government in the next fifty years, stop giving positions of influence to people who are utterly unqualified to hold them.
Listen to what people here want from you, and stop foisting your intellectual outdated dogmatic notions of a society that never existed onto them, promising you will return them to it.
Bring people in who actually live and work north of the M25!
It's not rocket science!
