Certainly a dramatic collapse, which makes it easy to pin on the manifesto launch and the social care policy in particular. The irony is, the policy as trailed would have shifted the financial burden of social care from the tax payer to the homeowners largely in the South East, so would have benefited many Labour voters in the north.
The presentation however was so appalling, and the Labour attack so disingenuous, that the very people who would have benefited largely voted against it.
A curious decision however to attack your core voters with 3 separate hits (triple lock, winter fuel allowance) which stank of taking votes for granted . Perhaps the most ironic outcome was the yoof vote though; a Corbyn Government would not have able to resist a massive hike in Inheritance Tax, which would have impacted on the kids future house deposits. |
