Just curious. I’ll be voting for them reluctantly but I’m not really sure what can or will be done about the state of the country. It seems we’re skint so they’ll just have to tinker around the edges.

I wasn’t addressing your point though. I was querying the other poster who seemed to be suggesting if you vote for Sunak they’ll replace him if he wins, which is mad.
once again you waded in while completely missing the point. This does seem to be becoming a habit, doesn’t it?

You mean attempting to deny something you said? Yes, it’s definitely a habit.

Idk Butler seems quite keen, and her ilk, and a few pro Labour pp on here

True true. But as we know, they have certain motivations for doing so. Which casts shade (to say the very least) on their professed ‘beliefs’.

A heady mix of cult money and status games?

Have there been any elections recently that we could use to judge how much the public care about whether political parties have been captured or not?

You keep babbling about this when it’s not what people are talking about. We get the tories are doing badly. We’re discussing the issue itself.

So the question is are the Tories doing badly because they know what a woman is, or because of their complete disregard for women's rights for the past 14 years?

I know the election results were very painful. Chin up though there are indications that Street has won West Mids by pretending not to be a Tory.

Probably neither, in truth. Has that helped?

Desecratedcoconut · 04/05/2024 19:38

How to look like a lefty without any intention to stick your hand in your pocket? Magical language.

VAT on education and gender policies. Seems to be it so far for Labour. But we should believe for some reason

I have a feeling that their mismangement of the country including women's rights may have been a factor in the public's voting this week.
But I may be wrong, it might all be because they like Starmer's hair.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/05/2024 19:42

I don’t think it’ll be any different to be honest.

On current form, I’d be prepared to stake quite a substantial sum on you being wrong.

There was a poster earlier who similarly did not know about Labour's policies.
I think they found this link helpful.

Such clear and popular policies probably explain the local election results.

10 Labour policies to change Britain – The Labour Party

After 14 years in government, the Tories have run out of excuses – and out of ideas. Only Labour policies will address the long-term issues Britain faces. The country can’t afford more of the same sticking-plaster politics that make the problems people...

Thank you for your support, I am touched.

Prof Curtis, thinks Labour may win the West Mids, I think it is lost. Perhaps I am wrong on that as well.

Ok he doesn’t completely, but he wants to. It’s so typical of men of his type. Intensely cautious and small c conservative in their entire approach to life, but desperate to convince themselves they are interesting, progressive and radical.
You’re a dry dusty old white male barrister, Keir. Deal with it

Why is it okay to use his age, ethnicity and sex as ammunition against him?

Hopefully more than we’ve witnessed the past 14 years, shouldn’t be hard to beat.
