I don't know.
I'm worried that no one is actually sure what "electable" actually means any more and that we might end up a flannel who still doesn't win an election.
Labour did a lot better in 2017 than people expected, when the focus turned to policy rather than personality or "electability".
I can't help but feel like Starmer could stray a little from the fence, show some personality and beliefs, and actually do well.

Maybe. I think there's a case to be made that the 2017 election was at least about personality as any other. May lost it because of her's (or rather, the absence of it) and Corbyn exceeded expectation (but still lost) at least partially because he was seen as being 'authentic'.

Isn’t this just the painful road to becoming electable in the 2020s?
