A poll of /r/ukpolitics was done this week, with 1381 responses. The following is how people answered.

More interestingly is how the various parties ranked the six options from most to blame for the GE loss to least:

Next people were asked to rank on a 7 point scale how far from hard left left (1) to centre (7) ten Labour MPs were.

Again, this did not show a lot of variation per candidate on a party-voted-for basis, overall it was:

“If Labour moved much more to the centre, they’d vastly improve their electoral chances for the next GE”

“Joke support for David Lammy as the next leader is somewhat based in racism”

Finally, a free vote on which Labour MP would lead the party in the worst defeat at the next election (once I had removed Boris Johnson, my mum (x5), Ramsey Macdonald/ his ghost (x3) and Hitler):
