You can see his frustration though? I don't think thick is the right word. I would use ignorant. It's the only reason to still support this brand of Tory. You must be ignorant of the corruption, ignorant of the lies, ignorant of the attempts to reduce our rights, ignorant of the attempts to make it harder to vote them out.
I hear you, but I also get frustrated with people who always vote tory because my dad did, and his dad etc. etc. and likewise labour. Always have always will regardless, as the alternative is unthinkable. There is a huge chunk of floating voters that need to be convinced, and that needs to be a bit more than just 'cos the other side are corrupt/liars/****. The mood music does suggest people are ready for change, and not just a change of tory leader. Real change. But despite the current polling the biggest mistake labour can make is to take votes for granted. The floaters want to see leadership. This is absolutely critical. Not revealing policies incase people don't like them or the tories might steal them (as suggested on here) is absolutely not showing leadership. If you are labour for life though I guess you probably wouldn't see this.
Elections aren't won by blaming the electorate for the way they voted before or calling them thick or ignorant. Voters make up their minds based on a few things that seem important (and important not just to the person marking the x). If Labour doesn't make policies to appeal to enough people, and the perception of the common good, then people won't vote for them.
The current Tory Government with its sleaze, corruption and lies is the biggest ****-show for many a year and is doing them significant harm.
Dead simple. Leadership. At a time when the country is lacking any. And perhaps the biggest question mark over the labour party from the media and non die hard reds. Show the electorate a real alternative option. Do it now and people will remember it. Wait and the Tories will enjoy a new leader bounce in the polls and come election time the **** show stuff that you refer to risks being forgotten. Initiative lost. Complacency is labours biggest barrier to No. 10 right now. Theirs to lose as they say (I won't use my open goal analogy again it seemed to upset people).
Nah, I was referring to brexit cult.
The brexit cult seem the only ones left defending the indefensible
You are absolutely right. Allowing the tories to implode helps Labour but it won't be enough on its own. Starmer has already started to form policies with his promise to the people. The party will harden those this year and push 2 or 3 that they feel most people can identify with.
I don't see any complacency at all from Labour. In fact I see them as being on the front foot. The leader of the opposition leads his own party, he can't lead the country yet. Yes they're only opinion polls but no party polls over 40% regularly unless those participating see something positive in the party, the leader and his/her policies. For anyone to suggest that Labour's current polling is entirely a consequence of people's mistrust of the Tories is not giving Labour enough credit in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure @GazC_MFC isn't actually a politician trying to get elected?
Their 2019 manifesto had everything in it that is being pushed through parliament. Nothing the government are doing was hidden.
That makes no sense. Are you happy with the current government
