RM's comment was on the nail: "So : Overall ‘Leave’ voting authorities lost Labour seats. And this was because of Leave voters *not* voting for a Labour Party supporting ‘Leave’. Given that the majority of erstwhile Labour supporters voted ‘Remain’ in Leave areas? Errr … pull the other one! I’ve seen some tortuous and crap analysis – but this exceeds any of the MSM contortions..." Take a Leave area such as Sunderland. the Labour vote fell by nearly 17 points - while UKIP's only went up by 4.5. yet "...The pro-Remain Lib Dems saw their vote rise by nearly 10 points and the Greens by 8.5. The swing from Labour to the Lib Dems was about 13% and to the Greens 10%..." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48150656 So...we can tell Labour is being punished in a Leave area for not being Brexity enough...because people are protesting by voting for Remain parties? Seriously?
