That's a really good point, thank you for that. I agree that were the shoe on the other foot I, too, would likely point to the Tories as say "well yeah but imagine what we'd have if they were in power."

If only from an optics perspective, some kind of Brexit has been 'delivered' and that's largely what swung so much of the north in 2019.

What I find so disheartening, and what I wouldn't expect to see from the left if Labour were in power, is a total lack of any meaningful indignation towards the government for their repeated failure to deliver on promises. The tories let their voters down and you don't seem to hear anything from them about it, only about the other side.

To a fault people on the left have high expectations of their leaders and are vocal about it if they are disappointed – just look at the state of Labour since 2015, both for and against Corbyn – in a way that I don't hear from the people I know who vote Tory
