To wonder if people prefer the last government to this one?

We couldn't have had the Tories in again as they were a complete shit show - I don't think this Gov are doing a lot better but it was worth taking the risk - but where to go to next - definitely not Reform. I think I'll really struggle getting behind any party.

There’s a lot of rewriting of history going on here! Brexit the fault of Labour (!!!)

You are lucky. Mine are all being dug up. Not sure it's much to go with the government though,

I voted Labour because I thought they would at the very least invest in infrastructure and in industry, have a better relationship with the EU which would stimulate growth and pay for things. But they seem to have done none of that. They are being held to ransom by their own backbenchers despite having a stonking majority, and as a result have made damaging and expensive u-turns, making things worse than they were before the decisions. It just gives a terrible impression of a government that just wont be able to achieve anything, because their own party is acting as the official opposition.

Just curios - why did you vote for them? to get Tories out no matter what? or did you expect something different from Labour?

How can it be discredited?!! It happened.

Absolutely nothing would have changed the minds of those red wall voters.

It’s the same now with them supporting Farage and Reform.

I liked Rishi Sunak.

Both Governments have very similar problems.

I would like all the infighting to stop and for them to get on with their jobs quietly.

Labour's formal policy position was to remain, and if it had wholeheartedly campaigned to remain and made the case for it then it's likely that enough 'red wall' voters would have voted remain to tip the balance too.

Put simply, that cunt Corbyn sabotaged Labour's contribution to the remain campaign because he personally was opposed to it.

I voted Labour at the last election, for the first time in many years. I wish I hadn’t. This is a very left wing government. It seems to have the mentality that behaviour of companies and individuals won’t change no matter how hard you tax or over legislate. The moment that the NIC for employers increased, workers rights increased and min wage increased the less likely employers became to take on risks with staff. Smaller businesses near me reduced staff hours rather than make staff redundant. Push too hard and businesses start finding ways to mitigate. The increase in unemployment is appalling.

I think Cameron called the referendum hoping that the result would be Remain, and he could knight himself as the one who put the issue to bed once and for all.

He didn’t follow the advice of a pupil on Grange Hill in about 1988: “They’ll only call a referendum when they’re certain they’ll get the result they want!”

This. I won’t be voting Labour anytime soon. I liked Rishi Sunak and he was right about what this government would do.

Why are you trying to blame Labour for Brexit? It was a Tory decision to hold the referendum in the first place! Stupidity.

Jeremy Corbin gave us Brexit by agreeing to front the Remain campaign on behalf of the Labour party and then giving every impression he supported Leave.

I prefer this government to the last one but didn’t vote for it (voted Liberal Democrats). I will be voting Greens next time unless there’s some major scandal in that house. Reform is beneath me 😱😱

The massive problem we've had in the country for a pretty long time is that there's no one worth voting for.

The only time I bother voting is to try to keep someone out. I'll be voting in the next election to try to keep Farage out but god knows who I'll vote for.

@Ticklyoctopus you are aware that NEET numbers are lower than the past?

@Ticklyoctopus in 15 years we don't know what will happen to NEETs, how can that be more pressing than the ageing population which is impacting us now?

The last government did not give us Brexit. There was a referendum.

They did a shit job of explaining the pros of staying in!

They offered the public a vote to appease their own back benchers including Farage!

Remember UKIP under Farage? They had surged in popularity, especially after 2010. In the 2014 European Parliament elections, UKIP won the most UK seats, pushing both Labour and the Conservatives into second and third place.
This electoral pressure forced David Cameron, then Prime Minister, to promise an EU referendum in the 2015 Conservative manifesto. This is widely seen as a response to UKIP’s rise and to appease them.

Your vote choice isn't clear.

I absolutely can't stand Starmer. He doesn't have any respect for the UK or it's people. He doesn't know what a woman is. I can't even put into words how much I hate him. No politician has ever made me seeth and my skin crawl like he does. I have to turn the TV off every time he comes on, always have done. I didn't and would never vote for him and will vote for anyone to get him and his traitorous cabinet out of government.

What is your definition of a mansion? grounds? Square footage? Value?

Do you think it is not enough that a hospital consultant (for example, insert entrepreneur, accountant, civil servant, MP as you prefer) who worked around the click for years and financed their own exams, finally qualifies, gets a salary of £125,000 but only takes home £78,000? Is £47,000 in tax not enough for you?

In your little communist utopia, this person would also pay double or more council tax on their band G house and more tax on their Nissan Qashqai. And if they managed to save a few quid they can pay even greater CGT and an arbitrary annual wealth tax.

Not a penny more, the middle classes are being pretty well rinsed as it is.

The last government did not give us Brexit. There was a referendum.

Because in about 15 years we will have record NEETS as well as a huge elderly population.
