Labour Voters. Honest question

Yes quite clearly and by any measure (unless you’re state funded), both Tories and Reform are better alternatives than Labour.

YourParty is clearly, at least currently, batshit too and the Greens arent a whole lot better. Maybe the LibDems are worth a punt?

Sadly I find myself more and more voting against a poor choice than actually for a party I feel optimistic about.

Truss?

Realistically what are the better alternatives, the Tories with their appalling track record over previous governments and current shambles of leadership, or the batshit incompetent, grifter led Reform??

I voted Labour and did not expect them to clear up the total shitfest left by the last chaotic Tory governments anytime soon. I’m relieved that we have a steady sensible leader now in Starmer, and quite honestly what the actual fuck do people expect after the damage that has been done here. I’m sick of all the whining by the left that he’s not left enough. And tories can literally fuck right off with the diabolical mess they made of it.

How is this any better or worse than cosying up to jihadis and letting them into the country?

This 100%

No. You should blame Ed Milliband for Brexit.

Yep voted for them last time and would again. Possibly with a bit less enthusiasm but when the alternative is either Farage or Badenoch or some horrible combination of the two then I'd still crawl over a mile of broken glass to do it.

I don't know whether it's social media or what, but I swear most of the UK's adult population are like dozy kids with tiny attention spans these days. The Tories really did leave a terrible legacy to be sorted out, the UK faces pretty serious demographic problems anyway, and there is all sorts of shit going on in the world that is really very unhelpful. Yet because Labour/Starmer haven't delivered a land of milk and honey in 18 months people are once against turning to a charismatic charlatan selling simple solutions, this time in the form of Nigel Farage. If anybody thinks he's got the interests of ordinary working people at heart then they are fucking gullible idiots.

So, what has starmer achieved up to now.
In no particular order:
Given billions away to the Chagos Islands
Given our fishing rights away
Fucked over the private school system.
Fucked over private business enterprise
Reneged on his "no tax rise" policies
Fucked over the pensioners and disabled then U turned.
Made working for a living pretty much pointless by giving huge UC rises
Fucked over the farmers.
Gave train drivers a big rise with no conditions attached
Conspired with Merseyside police to cover up the Southport stabbing perpetrators identity.
Jailed those who made their feelings clear over the whole fiasco.
Hasn't smashed the gangs.In fact more and more arriving almost every day.
And finally.... the cherry on the cake (drum roll) made it his top priority as UK premier to allow in aan anti semitic jihad supporter who openly Hates Britain, white people and Jews, and declared how delighted he was to accommodate him Ta-daaaaa!!!!

Parties of any colour don't have to try too hard to bring Farage down. He does that himself with the company he keeps.

Neither Kemi Badenoch nor Farage are remotely fit to lead the country (I actually quite like Badenoch and think she seems like she'd be quite a laugh behind closed doors, but she just comes across as far too unserious as a politician).

Farage is utterly utterly appalling and I really think people who think this country has already gone to the dogs will be in for the shock of their lives if Reform ever form a government. I have many friends and colleagues who are non white and/or were not born in this country and yet have gone on to contribute enormously - I don't doubt for a second that a Reform win would hugely alienate many of them, and would almost certainly legitimise an uptick in racial hatred and racially aggravated incidents.

Anyway, Labour is far from perfect but both other options are so completely intolerable that I wouldn't hesitate to vote for them next time round.

There are 3 categories in your poll.

1. People who voted labour last year and would vote for them now.

1. People who voted Labour last year and would not vote for them now.

1. People who did not vote labour last year.

You have combined 2&3 in you poll choices pre-determining the outcome. YANBU will be the larger group, based on what we already know about voting trends.

I have to say if anyone has received constant attacks and dirt digging it has to be Farage. It's really stepped up a notch in recent months. I think parties, particularly Labour, have been desperately trying to bring him down because they're panicking that the threat of Reform getting in at the next GE is very real. But unfortunately Labour have instead had to switch their focus to controlling corruption in their own party over the last 6 months.
