Incoming Labour supermajority

[SerendipityJane]

According to no less than that the many people that go to make up Grant Shapps.

Not really sure you are supposed to say the quiet bit out loud mate.

Meh. I never said they were perfect - but they've come back to the centre ground from their era of Momentum Madness. The contrast with the Tories and their 500 families couldn't be more stark.

What Bairite policy made him a millionaire?

Who became a millionnaire on the back of Labour policies? Euan Blair is a millionnaire on the back of the apprenticeship scheme, set up by the Tory government. A scheme set up to be so onerous and complex that people have to hire go betweens because they cant be dealing wit the stupid rules set up by this government.

Indeed l am.

You're not old enough to remember the 70's, are you?

The thing with this trope is that it just isn't a gotcha any more. The Tories have lost the older vote. Labour lead even in the over 70s now. So yes, there are plenty of older people who are not going to vote Tory - because they remember the 70s, but they also very much remember the past 14 years.

FGS the 1970s! Half a century ago. At the time the Conservatives were pro Europe. Things change and mercifully so does the country.

My understanding is that Infosys haven’t done too badly out of the current government. Along with a bunch of Russians and mates of Matt Hancock.

As for stench - party gate? Barnard’s castle?

I’ll leave it there. Have a good evening.

I can and it wasn't as dysfunctional politically as now.

I'm more wanting to see the Tories in third place, with more Lib Dem MPs. Looks unlikely but hopeful.

A super majority could easily end up with the hard left ousting Starmer in the same way the Tories got rid of Boris.

This isn’t an opinion on whether that’s a bad thing.

I actually see the likelihood as the other way- Starmer can afford to sideline his left wing and still pass legislation. On some predictions he could afford for 33% of MPs to rebel and still pass it. Conversely, ousting Starmer would be like killing the golden goose.

I say BRING IT ON !!

Anything that gets rid of this corrupt bunch of self serving grifters is good in my book . I am voting Labour without a doubt despite being gender critical.. to me the MOST important thing is to GET THEM OUT !!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@LaPalmaLlama not all supporters of a particular party want a massive majority. As is well documented in this sight, I'm a member of the Labour party, because I've said so many times

yes I want (for the country) to get a majority. But just take a look at what happened to the Tory party with a 80 seat majority. It destroyed party cohesion. They've ended up with six (really six 😁) splinter factions. I thought Momentum was bad, I don't want that and the country really needs this like a hole in the head.

I'll take a victory ,not because "my side" had won, but because I think the country needs it.

I'd never encourage anyone to vote anything other than Labour, unless they lived in a marginal (which means anyone who lives in a Tory seat where the majority is 25k Or less, and a green or lib dems is the one who is favourite to unseats them.)

But I also think that schapps is doing the "project fear" thing in reverse.with the ohh, don't give Labour a massive majority. To me it's just a damage limitation stunt.

Tom Watson says

This is a hoax. Labour needs one of the biggest electoral swings in history for a majority of one. If you want change, vote for it purposefully.

I agree.

This has been done before by The Sun newspaper years ago. Big Labour win and what it would mean. Ir didn't happen and The Tories won. When people assume a big win it brings out the Tories and some Labour don't bother voting since assume its done deal.

I actually think the Tories might scrape in again. There are lots of voters that believe scare stories in newspapers.

But just take a look at what happened to the Tory party with a 80 seat majority.

The Tory party broke itself on the wheel of Brexit. Nothing to do with their majority or otherwise.

Labour are not entering government with a populist wet pipe dream to pretend to deliver.
