        Corbyn's leadership is also given as the main reason voters have abandoned the party since 2017. Among those who voted Labour in 2017 but didn't this time round, reasons given were: — The leadership (37%) — Brexit (21%) — Their economic policies (6%)

        And lack of critical thinking. No wonder the tories are so keen on destroying education. This doesn't fit the narrative though and won't get discussed.pic.twitter.com/XvNySBQIBA

        Because participation in higher education has significantly and structurally increased over the decades, its correlation to voting is just a proxy for age of voter i.e. this graph doesn't really say what you're suggesting

        It's not as if they had to work hard to make the point though, it was a bit of an open goal...

        May had the worst campaign i can remember and she still beat Corbyn. Corbyn only looked good because of the standard of opposition

        I'm sure @OwenJones84 will have a perfectly reasonable explanation for this.

        In retrospect, there is the conundrum. "Smearing" Brexit, people like IDS, Johnson, the NHS under Tories, Rees-Mogg (and by smearing I mean expressing real & genuine fear but attacking them) didn't work the other way & I find it baffling. Must a type of smear that works.
