Finally a Labour leader who recognises that elections are not won on the fringes but in the middle, and the middle of the UK electorate is not as far left as Labour have become.  Labour need to appeal to the electorate, they need to evolve and adapt or else the Tories will win time after time.

The Lib Dems are centrists and that's not working out very well for them is it? Labour need to be a Centre Left party like they were under Attlee, Wilson, Callaghan, Brown etc. They can't be too far left like Michael Foot was. Moving towards the Centre and Centre Right like under Blair won't get them to win a General Election as people will compare them to Blair. Labour need to be Centre Left when it comes to economics and spending but they need to be small c Conservatives on social policy.

It's 10 years since Labour were last in power and it's been 12-13 year since the financial crash and the media and people out there still keep going with the lie that Labour caused a global recession. For Labour to win power they need a responsible fiscal policy, they need to go back to basics and talk about education, health, jobs, public ownership, investment in public services and infrastructure, transport, greener energy etc etc. They also need to be more patriotic as well and talk up Britain as a whole and have a clear vision of what they want Britain to be or look like. If Labour keep harping on about Brexit and rejoining the EU for the next 4-5 years then they are going to get absolute thrashed at the next election worse than 2019. They need to get out of London and they need to talk about the different regions and that includes Scotland and Wales. They need to look at investment in areas outside of London and look at better transport links for rural areas as well.

But instead they won't, they will keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again, thinking they know best and better than the electorate. For them to win again they need to look at why they've lost 4 elections in a row and they need to get out to every City, Town and Village in the country and ask the electorate what they want.
