Take our Labour party as an example. The hard left have spent the last few years in a bitter fight for control that has seen them lurch further left causing traditional working class voters to cease voting for them. The party thought having the most members in Europe was brilliant but they forget 500k is tiny in our country. They got trounced and now it's still kicking off as the factions fight dirty over the new leader who isn't as far to the left.
Similar examples can be found in the Tory party.
