While Labour got the landslide everyone expected, I think their voter coalition is looking more fragile than many expected. Trying to expand it further right seems futile - if those voters didn't ditch the Tories *this time*, do you really think they will after 5 years of Labour in power?

They could try and just be competent & liked among their current voter base and hope everyone else remains divided. Which I don't think is a crazy bet, it seems plausible to me. But it's fragile, and it risks allowing the various left challengers to entrench themselves with former Labour voters. /18
