工党从2019年12月的大选中脱颖而出，受到严重打击和挫伤。在一场主要目的是结束关于如何解决英国退欧问题的似乎无休止的辩论的竞赛之后，它发现自己的议员人数比1935年以来的任何时候都少。难怪该党正在讨论如何在英国脱欧问题得到解决后改善自己的命运。然而，寻找答案并不像党内许多人所认为的那样简单。虽然关于前进道路的主流说法似乎已经出现，但另一种观点对这一办法的可行性提出了疑问。这两种观点都承认，英国脱欧重塑了选举格局，并破坏了工党的选举联盟。然而，尽管主流观点认为工党有可能扭转这种混乱局面，但另一种观点表明，工党面临着一个潜在的艰难选择，即它在英国退欧后将希望集中在哪类选民身上。
Labour emerged from the December 2019 general election badly battered and bruised. In the wake of a contest whose principal purpose was to bring an end to the seemingly endless debate about how Brexit should be settled, it found itself with fewer MPs than at any time since 1935. It is little wonder that the party is debating how it can improve its fortunes now that Brexit has been resolved. The search for an answer is, however, less straightforward than many in the party seem to appreciate. Although a dominant narrative as to the way forward seems to have emerged, there is an alternative perspective that raises questions about the viability of this approach. Both perspectives recognise that Brexit has reshaped the electoral landscape, and disrupted Labour's electoral coalition. However, whereas the dominant narrative reckons it is possible for Labour to reverse that disruption, the alternative perspective suggests Labour faces a potentially difficult choice about the kind of voter on which it focuses its hopes in post-Brexit Britain.
