Before the last election I read that focus groups were held throughout the country to discuss Labour's policies. The groups weren't told beforehand whose policies were being discussed. The majority approved those policies, until they were told that they were LP policies.
It wasn't the policies, it was the party promoting them, or it was Corbyn. .
I've seen video clips of this sort of exercise. Very much the same reactions...
