Listening to Prof Sir John Curtice this morning - it does seem that there may be hope of a massive Tory defeat. It appears they are polling badly everywhere they really need to do well. Cheered me right up.

Pretty confident. I'm banking on a party the next day and I don't want to be let down haha

The bookies are currently offering 1/41 on Labour being the largest party in parliament after the election & 1/16 on Labour having an overall majority. Those odds in an 2 horse race indicate that people who are prepared to back their opinions with their dosh believe that we will have a Labour government on 05 July.

What will you be celebrating?

One bunch of self serving incompetents being replaced with another bunch of self serving incompetents (but wearing a different colour rosette)?

I will be celebrating the end of this disgusting, destructive government.

No, that wasn't aimed at anyone on here particularly. I was thinking more like media pundits, and the ludicrously triumphant BTL comments from supporters of parties that did poorly ("There you are, I told you Starmer was a wet lettuce. They didn't get anywhere near 600 seats!"). FWIW I have you down in my vague brain file as "sensible left". Apologies if that misrepresents you.

Edited

Thank you. That’s greatly appreciated., it doesn’t misrepresent me at all. 😎

💯 percent

In many ways I want as big a Labour win in terms of seats, achieved by a modest c40% share of the vote.

That is the likely outcome and will set it up nicely to deconstruct the current Conservative party and for a reformed right of centre party with combined support to trounce Labour in 2029 and bring us into line with the majority of Europe.

It's going to take longer than that - the Tories aren't going to go anywhere near the centre for a while.

Meanwhile Labour is pretty centrist - not far out of line with the rest of Europe at all.

The Brexit voters won't like that.🙈

The best comment i heard was this election is like a baby with a full nappy.
The babygrow was changed but you could still smell the .......

Surely most of the Brexit voters are turkeys who realised that they voted for their own Christmas at this point?

Bollindger · 04/07/2024 17:43

Oh hunny, we are out of the EU.
You list. Labour said not getting us back in.
France is a mess, German are In trouble.
Just wait till it happens
