Labour said a lot about what they'd do for the poorest and how they'd tax the richest.
They didn't say a lot about what they'd do for all those in-between.
There aren't that many very rich and not as many very poor as there used to be(not many of us live in little terraced houses with cold water and outside tippler now).
So I think many of the 'in-betweeners' (who are now the majority) realised that as there aren't that many very rich, the 'in-betweeners'(or their children) would be the ones having to pay for Labours policies.
Labour didn't pay attention to the current make-up of UK society and didn't tailor their policies to appeal to it- they paid the price. Their policies were 50 to 70 years behind the times.
The 'in betweeners' wanted to see they had a future they could work for, Labour didn't offer it to them.

Mind you Ed and the SNP didn't help.
