Labour on 50% of the share in this new voting intention poll (!!) with a 29 point lead.
It’s still a shameful stain on our country that 1 in 5 claim they’ll vote Conservative.
(However, this *was* a poll for GB News (!) so, hopefully, the real figure is lower)
Yes, Labour will clearly win the next election. The question is whether this sub would like them to.
I don’t know about anyone else but I can’t wait to have a good old traditional boring prime minister again.
It’s a swamp of corruption…and this is just the tip of the iceberg
If you vote for the Conservatives at the next election, you ought to be tried for treason.
And Boris’ sleaze-ridden Tories.
And the one before… And the one after…
It’s a few years until the next GE innit? The Tories can and will do as they please until a few months before.
Then the Tory press step up and do their job to make sure the plebs forget and focus on some BS narrative about labour wanting to give kids puberty blockers & teach them about gay penetrative sex in primary school.
Throw in some immigration scare stories and that’s that. The malleable simpletons that make up a significant part of the UK electorate will vote Tory again – and will blame the EU for punishing them for leaving, which, as far as they’ll be concerned, is why they can’t afford to heat their homes, feed themselves or get treatment on the NHS.
Most people tend to vote Conservative because it suits them specifically. Just for example over 65’s/pensioners, tend to vote Conservative to keep the triple lock on pensions. Landlords will vote Conservative if they continue to rake in more profit, keep property standards down and continue allowing buy to let mortgages. Businesses used to vote Conservative because they usually keep corporation tax low. It is rare in my experience of life for people to vote outside of their own narrow self interest.
The reason the Conservatives get people voting for them against their economic interest (that is working class people) are issues that are or are made cultural or societal issues like immigration, brexit etc. Usually this is a result of neither party caring at all about their town/region or their economic situations. As no one cares about their financial circumstances or opportunities in life, the election becomes about societal issues for them if they even vote at all.
To be honest it is all kind of irrelevant because of the Truss period and wastage/giving money to their mates like the PPE contracts etc there isn’t much money to spend for either party. I doubt Labour will govern much differently in terms of finance because there isn’t the money for them to govern much differently. It is also just a matter of time before the Conservatives win again because of the two party system.
Really the whole system needs modernising but neither party will do so because it is not in their interest. I guess my overall point is no one votes or governs in the national interest.
I mean, starmer is pretty conservative so we are fucked either way, voting another lying greedy cunt in won’t change much.
Ah ye because Labour is so different… Same shit different bucket.
Ah Labour…they have an open goal in front of them and are still at risk of scoring an own goal. I miss when the opposition was actually an opposition.
2 party dominance needs to be scrapped, also the media bias doesn’t help, just exists as a propaganda arm of whatever party
The big problem in British politics is that the fake Conservative Party is bed blocking a genuine social conservative party from developing. We’ve got a wealth of center left parties in the UK but the only genuine right wing party in recent decades was UKIP and the Tories sadly managed to kill them off before they started to threaten them at general elections. The Tory Party needs to die and ideally Labour will follow it and we can get some political parties that truly reflect the divisions in our society.
Wait, I thought the voters already turned on the Tories when they tanked the economy.
The last local election was the first time I didn’t vote blue. I will never, ever vote for them again.
I’m voting for Labour during the next general election for Angela Rayner.
Really sad that we have to hang of for an election while the Tories fuck the country into a coma.
There should be a way for the people to force an election.
And the other half backs the sleaze-ridden Tories? Isn’t that the key problem here – a deeply divided country?
If you think labor will do any better you’re kidding yourself they will pretty much do what the Tories did and blame the other party for the reasons why they can’t do anything good
Surprised there’s still 20% of people who _will_ vote for them despite the current shitshow they’ve all led us to in 13 years.
I guess that’s the mighty well-off and pensioners with blinders on.
