You can pick up on a specific seat and show pretty much what you like.
The fact remains that New Labour won 408 seats in 1997.
408 with a predominantly centre left policy. And won 3 straight elections.
And now, 203 with a hard left policy and given a good kicking.
History tells us that you have to appeal to the vast majority of the electorate.
And hard left policies are not going to win you an election. All you will become is a minority protest party.
Full stop.

Honestly the election result would have be a lot easier to take if Labour did in fact run on a far left platform. Sadly this country instead rejected basic social democratic reforms.
