Why Did The Labour Party Lose The December 2019 General Election?

Because they wanted to.

If they had won they would have had to have dealt with Brexit and the EU. They did not and still do not have the calibre of people needed to do that.

There are people who want to be in power rather than pure, and people who would rather be pure than in power.

Labour always was the party of purity. It just looked like it was a bunch of power-grabbers because, for a while, it espoused the cause of the Working Man, and no finer political cause is there. In that cause, Lenin and Marx told them, no deception and no lie is too great. In that cause one may get one’s hands dirty, and justify all the stains it puts on your soul. So that’s what the Labour Party did.

Then it abandoned the Working Man. It lost the moral justification for being impure. Once it was out of power, it was invaded by people who wanted to be pure, because it was safe for them.

The Conservatives have never been, nor ever will be, about purity. They are now the party of the Working Man. And of the Capitalist. Which is only odd until you realise that the common enemy of both is the Bureaucrat, the Diversity Manager, the Equality Advisor, the Global Warming panic-monger. Which is who Labour stands for now.

But that's not why they lost.

They lost because they put an un-electable leader up front. As the Liberal Democrats did. A 110 decibel warning siren.

They wanted to lose.
