Labour voters - do you regret voting for them?

I voted them, and so far yes, I am sorry and very disappointed. Just hoping they turn it around ASAP. I don't blame them for the riots, but I struggle with what they have done to pensioners, I only hope it's a pre cursor to making big business pay they're way.

He's never had high approval ratings. He's had less pf the vote percentage/fewer votes than even Corbyn did (at least in 2017). 2019 was more about Brexit and Starmer sold him out demanding the second referendum at the time.

Labour were banking for at least a decade on opposition but the Tories have fucked everything so badly that we've ended up with a Labour government that people didn't really want, just to get them out.

I just switch off when anyone uses the ‘two tier Kier’ slogan. Bit like ‘the woke brigade’ or ‘remoaners’ etc. I don’t think people understand how thick it makes them sound.

Nope.

I didn’t vote this year, but what I’m focused on is the future of the NHS and housing. The plan for both is crucial, and while I understand grey belts will be looked at first, I’m still uncomfortable with the idea of using green belt land. As for the NHS, nothing has been laid out yet, so I’m very curious to see what they come up with. Then there’s the issue of political donations, which is a real problem. It’s hard to take the ‘party for the working people’ seriously when they’re accepting lavish gifts. In finance, gifts and entertainment policies are strictly enforced, and regulators are watching closely. Politics should be no different.

Lol no.

You are funny, a career in stand up calls.

Can’t be bothered to search but I’m pretty sure this is the reform voter that claimed they voted Labour on the other thread they started.

I didn't vote them, I don't like them, but I'm still happy enough they're back in.

They're getting a rough ride from the Tory press. Fair in some respects but the Tories weren't held to account like this. It took them.a decade of them fucking up before they were scrutinised. Labour have been in 2 minutes.

I voted Labour.

The riots are absolutely not their fault. They took tough action to quell them.

They are far less 'snouts in trough' than the Tories. It's incredible that the Tories got away with things like the PPE scandal.

The winter fuel allowance was a dubious choice, but I can see where they were coming from, even though the optics are poor.

Hoping for more left-leaning policies from them in future, to bring some fairness and humanity back to the country.

No regrets. Still have more integrity than the last shit show.

It's conference season, time for the Right to flail around and stamp its collective feet because their fingernails have finally been prised from the treasure chest they've been looting for the last 14 years. Got a mate who runs a pub? £££s contract for him then. Your wife's dressmaker? Same for her. You want a yacht? No problem, sell us something you haven't got, that we don't need, and get paid for it. Is that a spare peerage lying around over there? Catch! It's yours. Can't do it any more. So they are all very pissed off. And a leadership election coming up for the Tories. Serious business for them, hilarity for the rest of us. It's utterly pointless to attempt to seriously address any 'points' they make as
"They only do it to annoy
Because they know it teases"
Apologies to Lewis Carroll

I know. It's blatant and annoying.

Martial law?

No. Not in the slightest.

I'm very bored with the constant, daily threads from tory bots trying to persuade people they've made a mistake in who they voted for.

Just bore off. We're a lot happier than we were with Rishi, Liz, Boris, Theresa May or Cameron thanks.

Nope, don't feel the need to apologise. They've made some mistakes, but they are still better than the Tories.

And re the winter fuel allowance. The pensioners have been protected from cuts previously, while children and disabled and other most vulnerable in society have had their benefits cut and cut and cut under the tories. Not all pensioners need it.

My own parents included. They WANT it, but they don't NEED it. Literally complaining about how hard done they are about losing this payment, yet sitting with 1000's in the bank, paid off mortgage and comfortable company pensions which is not actually that far off my own modest salary. Of course, childcare and mortgage paid out of that, but somehow that doesn't count...

I love them dearly, but they are living in a rather selfish bubble.

You think those who voted to get rid of an incompetent and corrupt government should apologise? How sweet.

Oh I forgot about that. You’re right, they did.

Didn't you say you voted for them on your previous "Do you regret voting Labout" thread @MeadowL?

This !

You've not responded to any of the comments in your own thread. Why not? Yabu just for that alone

Mumsnet is famously left wing 😂 why would ask that here in the hopes you would get a yes 😂🥴 - I don’t vote them - but I expected this of them…

The Tories were so bad that there wasn’t much option. The LD are all things to all people, and the rest of the parties are just the joke we enjoy.🤷‍♀️

Labour won’t be any different, as has been seen already, but we did need a change. 🙂

No of course not. To judge a party coming into government after fourteen years of misrule is ludicrous. The time to make an assessment of them is two years from now.

I only opened the thread to ask this but I was going to say once a week.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 where's your evidence? Conversation with people just like you? who bandy around terms like martial law with no understanding as to what it means

Just done a uiu gov poll and the country or those that voted goes him have not rejected him so you speaking shit
