The long awaited report has been published into why Labour lost the election. The four main weaknesses identified were:
A failure to shake off the myth that Labour was responsible for the financial crash and therefore failure to build trust in the economy
An inability to deal with the issues of “connection” and, in particular, failing to convince on benefits and immigration
The fact that despite his surge in 2015, Ed Miliband still wasn’t judged to be as strong a leader as David Cameron
The fear of the SNP “propping up” a minority Labour government
Do Mumsnetters agree with this? Or are there other reasons? And, has anything improved, gotten better since?
