Didn't Labour's membership balloon when they were trying to get Corbyn elected? Perhaps they are all deciding it was a failed enterprise.

// My understanding is we have lost at least 100,000 members so far. //
Voters lost patience with Labour and the party suffered a huge defeat at the last election. Now it appears that the members have realised they are wasting their time and leaving in droves. Starmer has no future, but I am not sure the party does either. New Labour was a bit of a sham and they should not do that again. But it feels like the organisation needs dismantling and rebuilding from the ground up. There is a lot of baggage to discard.

New Labour was an electable project.
The point of a serious political party is to be in power to change things or it is a complete waste of time. Say what you like about Blair, his governments got things done.
What caused a problem for the future by Blair’s own admission was taking too much power from the members, understandable tho that was. Hence the pro-Corbyn backlash.
Whether Labour’s leader is Starmer or anyone else, without power it is pointless.
Labour’s chief problem is probably the way it is itself governed: the NEC needs to be reformed.
The other issue it has as I’ve said before is that currently the Tories under Johnson have stolen a few of its clothes, at least in the talking stakes. Unless and until that’s exposed as a sham then it will be difficult for Labour.
