Pretty much, Labour actually LOST voters compared to the previous election.
It's the conservative voter base REFUSED to vote for them, either not voting at all or voting for Reform.
Unlike Trump where he has a mandate by popular vote, the UK government doesn't have one as they essentially got power by default because the other side crippled themselves.

Which imo was the only reasonable move. Giving the "Conservative" party another term after watching them act no different from any other liberal western government would have made fixing the UK virtually impossible.
