Pickman's model
Starry Wisdom
you'll recall the election fever of the autumn of 2007 where the talk was of gordon brown holding an early election. if he had done then, the last 16 years might have been very different.I don't think the media did bring down the last government, voters just got tired of them - the Tories are now in the same position as Brown was in 2009.
the problems labour had in 2019 were essentially not that people weren't sick of the tories but centred on corbyn not having the support of his dressing room, of the parliamentary labour party, the never-ending accusations of anti-semitism, and the pisspoor campaign they ran where a new policy was put out every day, rather than setting their brexit policy - shammer's brexit policy - centre stage against johnson's 'get brexit done'. it really was an appallingly badly run campaign whereas for all its shortcomings the tory campaign was quite clear on the central plank of their manifesto.
