Will the penny finally drop?

Will the penny finally drop with the Labour Party that they cannot win back their lost strongholds until they reform their attitudes toward the working class? Or is the Labour Party doomed to be a minority middle class group increasingly out of touch with the wider population? Or possibly to split? What do you think?

Press isn’t read by many. Media is now huge and wide. Opinions everywhere. Labour voters wanted Brexit. I think they were stupid but they don’t. So now they vote conservative because they did Brexit.

There are not enough working class votes to get them enough seats so that’s a waste of time. Brexit votes have gone to the conservatives. If will need the working class to get over Brexit and vote Labour again. This could take 10 years. The middle class is now huge. Ignoring them means no chance of power. A few red seats in old industrial areas won’t lead to governance. Appealing to a wide spectrum of voters is vital. But how you do this is the question. But left wing politics are dead.

Sadly I think its doomed and even if they do turn it around the press and media are Tory controlled now (see government interference in Ofcom, BBC, channel 4 board etc) so what hope is there?
