.... well no probably not, otherwise they would not exist? that’s sort of how democracy works isn’t it.

They aren’t currently electable though, they’ve become a mess of identity politics because they (mistakenly) believe there’s more voting power there than there is. They’ve made the classic mistake of confusing “loudness” with actual numbers and have thus alienated the core voter base.
That's a fair and balanced response, pretty much crystalised my views

The core voter base is (of course) against things like racism and homophobia by and large, but that doesn't translate to "fling open the borders" and "allow males into women's spaces and sports".

Which isn't all Labour talk about, but as you say the louder voices are heard most, and it allows the mainstream media to paint a caricature.
