BXP were nowhere fucking near 10-15% at the time of the 2019 election. They got 2%. That tactical decision is not why their polling collapsed. Their polling collapsed because the Conservatives turned into them.

The moment the campaign period started their polling plummeted. I knew this already. BXP didn't collapse because they only stood in Labour/Lib Dem seats, they collapsed because their entire rhetoric was co-opted and internalised by the Tories.
Your assessment of the entire situation is way off. BXP were never going to get 15%.
