Still vote Labour?

[Iwishicouldflyhigh]

After one year of Labour rule, if you could go back in time and vote again, would you still vote the same.

i voted Tory, and still would, although I also thought change was good, and I was genuinely excited to get a breath of fresh air in number 10, I had quite high hopes.

im now depressed that we are very probably going to get Reform in 4 years.

would you vote differently?

The poster must have missed Palestine Action Group and their hate fuelled 'protests'. The only thing Labour has got right is setting them up to be proscribed as terrorists. Hard lefties, Corbyn and McDonnell are backing the group. Extremism is only seen when it comes to Reform and always by Labourites.

Didn't vote Labour and don't plan to in the future. They're inept. The NI rises are having a very detrimental impact on the charity I work for and on many other charities.

Voted Labour and would again.

I'm happy with the last 12m and feel positive for the future.

Worse than unbearable. Vile, self serving and incompetent. They will fuck this country up if they get in. There policies have been costed to wreck the economy. Unless of course you are extremely wealthy.

I’d absolutely vote Labour again.

I think Starmer needs to sack his advisors and own his premiership a bit more. But on the whole I’m ignoring the confected outrage funded by billionaires which floods both social media and traditional media and can see steady improvements coming through already.

At least Starmer listens, and isn’t afraid to alter course; that alone is a breath of fresh air compared to the toxic masculinity of “proceed with bullshit at all costs” of the previous government.

Are you a sheep ? Explain why you responded with an animal noise if you don’t mind…

??

Same old rhetoric about Reform.

And yet you voted for the lying tory government that stole from the country yo enrich their mates,that sowed division, that pitted one part of our society against another allowing reform to get a foothold?

You are incredibly unreasonable.

I voted Labour, I would have voted tactically to get the tories out, I will vote tactically to keep them and reform out.

Also, my last tory mp was utterly shit. More concerned were lining her pockets, and keeping in with the PM. My new labour MP is so much better. He might not have always voted the way i want, but he wrote and explained his reasons. He's also not just going sling with the party line.

This. I haven't liked all his policies, but he's a grown up. I'd absolutely give them a second term because they need time to turn things around. Personally, I do see the ideas coming, but they don't always sell them well. And it's a shift situation globally that a lot of people are anxious about.

Grown up? He’s a needy little schoolboy.

Today, for the first time in decades, they are announcing a social housing building plan.....

Thats starting to address the real issues facing the country.

They are and my DD will bear me out on this, she works in the NHS, making real improvements in NHS care.

We don't hear much of what Labour are planning as much of the media, understandably, focus on bad news, of which there is mush to report on around the UK and the world.

Personally, I don't see that at all. If anything I think he has a grasp of complexity that gets in his way as a politician. The schoolboy blustering approach is closer to that of Boris and indeed of Reform. It seems to go down better with the public as they put things in simple, black and white terms, rather than actually wrestling with difficult and complex issues and trying to get them right, even if that does mean making adjustments.

Good that you see him in such a positive light but his popularity rating is on the floor.

I didn't want to vote for a party that was supporting the arming of a genocide. Tricky I know as there have been multiple genocides during my voting life and arms are one of our biggest industries these days. Anyway, no I didn't vote Labour and I am not sorry at all.

Reform has zero concept of how to actually run a country, literally zero experience of getting shit done. Their leader has a history of never doing any work. I don't understand how people can vote for him/them but I feel the inevitability coming upon us. It's going to be a wild time but probably short-lived, as anyone can see they don't have the chops to do much except complain and come up with policies that appeal to a segment of voters but are based on misrepresenting truth. We are in for a heavy dose of hubris, I think, but I don't personally have much sway, so I just have to shrug.

Yes, I voted Labour and would do so again.

I think Starmer is doing a good job with overseas trade agreements, trying to clear up the Brexit mess that the Tories left him with.

Labour are incredibly poor and a huge disappointment, and I wouldn’t vote for them again, but I’d never vote Tory or Reform. LDs are too wishy-washy, as are the Greens.

If there was an election tomorrow, I’d just vote for an Independent, as I always vote. .

I can’t wait for a Reform government.

Couldn’t vote labour if my life depended on it
let’s be honest all parties are a bit shit with pros and cons
Ultimately I doubt we’ll ever be happy with any government there’s never going g to be enough money to go round so there is always going to be unpopular choices

the absolute nail in the coffin for me is there bare faced hypocrisy
and they’ve spent years shouting from the sidelines picking fault then when they finally get the reins there arse falls out of there pants
there were always first there with what shouldn’t been done but clueless with what should be done

I think one of the things boris did get right was the name captain hindsight

😂😂

Why?

I don't think media editorial choices have anything near the influence they did when it could claimed they decided election outcomes.

The fact is, for all the window dressing of a party of the people with an alternative to the standard politics, behind the scenes Reform are light years ahead of all the other parties in using social media and other ways of connecting with people, knowing what buttons to press to play on people's fears and genuine concerns, and how to get engagement.

They are playing 2025 politics while the old parties are still acting like it's 1997. Then Labour and the Conservatives try to take them on with the same issues, yet are never going to be as willing to go as far as Reform would (rightly so, but less effective).

😂😂

Yes, I voted Labour last summer and would do so again.

They're not perfect of course, but I could never vote for any of the others and definitely not for Reform.

I'd like our local Tory MP (Kemi Badenoch) to be ousted and as a tactical vote Labour have come closest to that. At the July 2024 General Election she lost a 27k majority and was down to just over 3k. Most of it went to Labour.
