Luring Back the Red Wall: Examining Keir Starmer’s Discourse Strategies to Regain Labour’s Heartlands after 2019
Original language description
In 2019, the Labour Party suffered the worst election defeat since 1935, with the “Red Wall”constituencies in the Midlands and the North taken over by Boris Johnson’s Tories. Among other things,the loss was blamed on Labour’s excessive focus on issues popular with the progressive metropolitanelectorate rather than the traditional working-class communities from left-behind regions. In order tore-engage the disaffected voters, the new Labour leader Keir Starmer faced the necessity of emphasizingpolicies and issues favoured by an essentially socially conservative electorate. Using the method ofCritical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and drawing on a variety of political speeches and news broadcasts,the paper examines Keir Starmer’s rhetoric aimed at reclaiming the lost Labour voters.
