Out of all five standing I reckon that Nandy would be the most likely to win Labour a GE. Personally, I think Dan Jarvis would be the Labour leader with most potential, but it seems he doesn't want the job, understandable! Starmer I like but can't see him appealing to enough people they need...

Immigration and low wages is probably a big reason IMO. The issue then for the Tory party is how they reduce immigration and increase wages so that the expectation of Brexit is realised, otherwise it may not matter who is Labour leader at the time of the next post Brexit GE, voters will go back.

I don't have evidence as such, but IMO there is no reason why working class people are more or less socially conservative than the elite, or whoever. There would be a typical distribution from very socially conservative to very liberal. As for whether or not it should be a liberal party I would...

The problem for Labour is how do they remain a party following the principles of liberalism and expect socially conservative working class people vote for them.

I can't see how a moderate can win the labour election, it will be a Corbyn type.
