Well I'd say trying to win over millions of voters would be an aim of the liberal democrats. Attacking them with hostile labels isn't going to do that.
To answer your question: no I don't think it has won Labour much support. But that's not what I'm saying. We're talking about the labels themselves here. Surely it would be mad to start calling half the country far-right because that limits the lib dems.
What you're suggesting would attract nobody to the Lib Dems, and lose them support from the LGBT community and people sympathetic towards them. Jesus how have you not noticed that from how pathetic Labour has been acting? Nobody will respect a party that'll stab their principles in the back to grovel for votes.
It'd win over LGBT voters, and probably not drive away many others. And they are being transphobic, you're suggesting we should stand against transphobia while being too afraid to name it?

Why shouldn't we call a significant number of the voters far-right or transphobic?
Well, for starters, it puts off voters which is not a way to win anybody over. So we could start there.
