Labour's Campaign: Things Can Only Get Worse?

---

Labour's failure to secure re-election hardly came as a surprise given its performance in government and at the polls since 2005. It was moreover the third election a row that the party had lost votes from across the social spectrum. However, despite a flawed leader and a difficult economic context, the party nearly secured enough seats to provide the basis for a coalition with the Liberal Democrats. The result in fact came as something of a relief to many of its members who feared much worse. This article looks at the party's course since 2005 and focuses on its failure to renew itself in office as being ultimately the main cause of its loss of power.
