Labour Voters. Honest question

Felt the need to come back to this…

The problem with this whole question is that it is so short term! Even a five year term is a very short amount of time to make real change in government. To expect big change in 17 months is ridiculous. All this talk of whether Starmer will survive and whether Farage will be PM just undermines the current government, and whether you like them or not, undermining the government is awful for the country.

I voted for them and I would again.

The number one reason being, who the fuck else would I vote for? If I was in an area where the Lib Dem’s had a chance, I’d consider tactically voting for them.

They have done some good things. They’ve been shit at the PR side of things. Tackling the really big problems in the time they’ve had isn’t possible. Am I blown over by them? Absolutely not. Could they have done better? Yes. Would I want any of the other parties in charge right now? Absolutely not.

Yes voted Labour last time and would again. Not perfect by a long chalk but better than alternatives by a country mile. Pleased with the above list and with things like their plan to stop children being handed to abusive parents for visitation.

Interesting that this early election idea is one Farage keeps talking up. Given the parliamentary majority it seems highly unlikely to me. All other parties had better see what they think they can offer for 2029. It'll be harder than they think.

How shit are labour? They've had 18 months to fix 14 years of the Tories shitting all over the country and they haven't managed it yet.

Unfortunately their plans for the NHS are going to take us right back to the days before the Francis Report, with virtually no quality assurance and precious little in place to ensure learning on a systemic level

Sadly it’s still better than a Tory alternative

Would I vote for them again? Yes. But only because the Tories/Reform is too awful to contemplate. I would dearly love to have an alternative

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.

The thing is, the people you're talking to (Labour voters) are never going to consider voting Tory regardless because the Tories always screw over the working class/common people (not common as an insult, meaning the average person).

So no matter how good / bad Labour is, to most Labour voters, they are the least worst alternative.

I might consider voting Your Party, Green or at a push, Lib Dem. But never, ever Tory. I'm an older person and I've seen several times how they target the poor and the working class.

All of the above plus new animal welfare laws, rejoining the Erasmus scheme, new laws to punish polluting water companies and clean up the waterways after nobody bothered when Brexit killed the existing EU laws.

I can probably think of more; that's off the top of my head.

They are up against right wing press so the good news doesn't get out , you so have to look for it they are not as left wing as I would like but they are making good changes and getting the job done. I like having a steady hand rather than a "showman" for a pm . So far (and there are more ..
