I've got scant evidence for that - stuff like the opinions of a vox pop of Tory voters in Surrey a few years ago, who all supported those sort of policies and the unanimous feedback from people who went out campaigning, who all say that it was "I don't like Corbyn" and "Get Brexit done" that cost Labour.  But however unscientific and anecdotal that evidence is, it's better than the absolute nothing that says (for example) working class voters in northern England and Scotland hated the idea of more rights for workers.

 

If you've got any surveys or evidence that the manifesto (other than Brexit) was unpopular, then please share it.

Well I would suggest that the evidence is that whenever Labour stood on a socialist manifesto in the last 40 odd years it got beat. I do concede that Corbyns unpopularity and shite Brexit policy does blur out feelings on socialism a bit.

The point of nationalising utilities (including high-speed broadband) and railways is to get them to actually work for the people who depend on them, not just the shareholders.

And that was more important than say, decreasing VAT, mentioned in the Labour manifesto as a tax on the poor and got no more than a pledge to not increase it?
