Iraq must be the single largest factor . Not just the fact of the invasion, but the arrogant manner in which we were lied to, the sycophancy towards a far-right US administration, and so forth. That destroys trust. I don't know how you get that back. Blair has to go at the very least, but I honestly think Labour needs a time in opposition to rediscover itself. Just look at Hewitt on TV talking about NHS. It's plainly in financial crisis, yet, instead of humbly accepting that, she spouts endless condescending drivel , talking to the reporters, and therefore the viewers/electorate , as if they were 4 year olds. Labour has too many spokesmen who don't know how to talk straight and openly. They've had too much coaching from spin doctors and they just come over as being arrogant liars. Pity.
