Three main factors: as to why Labour won 1) Tory govt had become so bad, so loathed, that people wanted a change. Tactical voting websites were promoted to vote for person most likely to beat a Tory. 2) Reform UK won 14% of national vote and took a lot of their vote from Tories. 3) UK's 'first past the post' voting system is corrupt. Labour won only 33% of national vote, yet got 412 seats our of 650, which is 63% of seats. Reform won 14% of national vote, but only received 5 seats - 0.7% of seats - corruption personified. And I heard a lot of people who didn't want Blue (Tory) or Red (Labour). They are a Uni Party, passing leadership baton to each other at elections, whilst their big business oligarch funders, paymasters, remain the same.

Good summary but lots of people are so fed up of politics you should have mentioned only 60% of the eligible population voted. So from a total perspective only 20% voted for them.
