Source of short-term electoral comfort
Hi,there
Labour is in danger of confining its future appeal to its so-called “core vote”, either through ideological naivety or as
a source of short-term electoral comfort, in the way that the Tories sometimes did after 1997.
Question one:
In my opinion ,the sentence structure looks like:
...
confining its future appeal to its so-called “core vote”,
or confining its future appeal through ideological naivety,
or confining its future appeal as a source of short-term electoral comfort.
...
Is that correct?
Question Two:
what's the meaning of "source of short-term electoral comfort" ,especially "electoral comfort" part.
Thank you!

yes ,in the first , I too got the feeling that "source of electoral comfort" has
something to do with the votes,but I still don't get the meaning of "electoral comfort".
and I also saw "electoral comfort zone "in Obama's election.Of course I did get this one either.
So what's exactly the meaning of "comfort" here seems important to me.
could you please help
