  3.  @deborahfreedman333  Why? Simply because when you say you're neither for something (in this case Brexit) nor against, both people who are for and people who are against will not vote for you. Many fed up pro-brexit working class voters voted for the Tories (it helped that the Brexit party withdrew their candidates so as not to split the Brexit vote) and many anti-Brexit urban middle-class voters voted for the Lib-Dems. This was solely a "second referendum" on Brexit, a single-issue election with the Tories on the Brexit side, the Lib-Dems on the remain side, and the Labour in the middle... Add to this that the UK have an undemocratic single round "first-past-the-post" electoral system and this could sadly only result in a victory for the tories this time around. The only thing all this mess can teach us is: always have a clear stance on issues, people don't like ambiguity. Labour was clear on everything it stands for, except for Brexit... and this was the most important issue that mattered the most to voters at the time of this election. Corbyn's Labour definitely isn't (and wasn't) too far left. And even if it didn't win last time, at least it had the merit to push May and Johnson's Conservative Party further left on most economic and social issues (i.e the return of One-Nation toryism and the end of failed Thatcherism and Cameron's austerity). That's already far better than what Blairism achieved: caving in to Tatcherism, following Bush's America to a disastrous Irak war and paving the way for the rise of David Cameron (just like Clinton led to Bush and Obama led to Trump in the USA).
