Central to the Tory's strategy is exploiting the basic human desire to "win", or more precisely to avoid "losing".
This is called loss aversion. The reason the left fail to understand this is that they simply cannot comprehend that the Tories would wish them to vote Labour.

The only thing the Tories fear is that the left will abandon Labour in large numbers, thus risking a generational shift to parties fundamentally committed to proportional representation, such as the Greens, SNP, Plaid etc.

The Tories also want to keep channeling money into the military, nukes, and selling weapons to countries like Saudi Arabia. And they know Labour will continue supporting this as long as they keep their snouts in the trough of Short Money.
