Labour Voters. Honest question

Tryingtodobetter82 · 29/12/2025 23:46

I’m not looking to start an argument on this subject. I know it’s a very heated and emotive topic.

I have strong views on political issues. What with algorithms and biased news organisations, it’s very easy to end up only seeing information that confirms what we already believe. Because of that, you don’t often hear the other side of the political divide.

I’m honestly curious whether those who voted Labour at the last General Election, for reference I did not, would vote the same way if there were an early GE in January, purely hypothetical of course.

If so, I’d really appreciate you sharing what you feel they’ve done right so far in their term. I’m asking as I genuinely want to understand different perspectives.

YABU - I would vote labour again
YANBU - I wouldn’t vote for them again (or ever have)

What evidence do you have for any wrongdoing by Sunak?

Or are you just another unpleasant left-wing rumour-monger?

I said it is valid to question those things, not that they did do anything wrong.

I think they are lesser of 3 evils.

Reform - racists
Conservatives - will sell off the NHS/had a decade to sort things and didnt.
Labour - just shit, but better than "shit and racist" or "shit and happy with austerity"

Don’t be obtuse.

Unless you have any good reason to question Sunak’s conduct you’re just being obnoxious.

No wrong doing then, but use it as much as possible. Are you ok with similar for Labour?

Yes

Holding politicians to account is important.

Did you defend Johnson?

I don’t tell or insinuate lies about politicians. Nobody should. Not even you.

As for Johnson, an unlikeable man. But nothing like as bad as Labour’s painted him.

Ok well prepare for unsubstantiated rumour than as questioning, if you want the same. Don’t complain when Starmer and co get similar. About their personal life, wife, children whatever.

It’s the political world some want. I’d prefer not to for anyone, in answer to your question.

Idk if you feel bad about that question, maybe it makes you think what you’ve added to the debate about female politicians and how Labour are enduring similar.

No, it doesn't make me feel bad at all. Again, not sure why you are making this personal. No-one else is.

Glad to hear.

Can you point out where I told or insinuated lies?

Johnson was a disaster for the UK and the Tory party imo.

It was a question, either you contributed for Conservative female politicians or didn’t. Many did on here.

Why would you ‘question’ Sunak’s dealing with his family? You have no reason to do that.

’Question’ is a pathetic attempt to cover your insinuations.

Plenty of that about Starmer plus the absolutely vile personal comments about Rayner.

Rayner herself was horrible and called the entire opposition party "scum"

And did the vaccine rollout well

And supported Ukraine more solidly than any other leader.

BIossomtoes · 31/12/2025 19:11

And denuded his party of all the decent old school Tories who were its redeeming feature. And of course there was the illegal prorogation of parliament …

I’m with you on the first bit. Though I think the pendulum will swing back when the Tories rebuild.

As to proroguing, seriously? Governments lose in court all the time. It’s not a criminal matter to breach administrative law.
