If you are considering voting for someone else, or not voting at all?

Resign. All of them.

CurlewKate · 30/10/2025 08:34

They are the party that align closest to my political and philosophical values, even if I don’t always agree with the way they put that into practice. They would have to stop being that party. As someone once said, political party is like a bus, not like a taxi. You get on the one that takes you closest to your destination- you can’t expect it to take you to your front door.

If they can deport one man quickly and give him £500 start going it for the others . I've never understood why Rwanda was do demonised a country . The British council have been supporting the government and investing with aid for several decades .
Also remember what a woman is and give us back our rights

didntlikeanyofthesuggestions · 30/10/2025 08:35

Personally I couldn't imagine the current government taking part in a televised "It's a knockout" style competition like the royal family did in the 80s. If they did I would certainly change my mind about that.

Pay me back my £k of VAT for private school and drop it going forward so my child can stay in the school she loves for 6th form.

TheLivelyRose · 30/10/2025 08:39

I ve never voted for them.

Over the last century, they have been in power for what 33 years. And roughly ten of that was Blair.

Out of a hundred years, labour have been in power for about a third of that time.

They are historically a party of very weak opposition. I would never vote for them.And I don't know why people expect such great things from them when they ve hardly been in power and every time they are, they fuck it up, badly.

Violetparis · 30/10/2025 08:39

Have less MPs pandering to men who want to take women's rights away.

Idstillratherbepaddleboarding · 30/10/2025 08:39

Be more visible.
Actually negotiate a pay deal with my union. It’s been 10 months and nothing. Stop piling more work on to us with no benefit.

ApathyCentral · 30/10/2025 08:41

Secure the borders and actually deport those here illegally. Follow through on the Rwanda plan or find another way to hold them somewhere offshore so there’s a clear disincentive just like Australia did. Show some fucking balls.

And openly state that any tax rises have to be matched by cuts. Repeat it ad nauseum until the idiots at the back of their party actually understand it. We cannot afford this lifestyle.

Ihavepaidalotforthisstory · 30/10/2025 08:41

Not raise taxes. Not go ahead with removing the two child cap and most importantly stop letting everyone into the country.

Redberryhot · 30/10/2025 08:42

Sort out immigration and the small boats.

Recognise that woman = adult human female and protect single sex services and spaces.

Put more money into policing and security.

Clamp down on public sector waste and mismanagement.

Reorganise the NHS and accept that some kind of privatisation/insurance scheme is inevitable.

Scrap the triple lock (which no government will do because pensioners vote).

Harriet9955 · 30/10/2025 08:43

Sorry but I think they have to get a serious grip on welfare reform ( including addressing the triple lock issue) and immigration and do so quickly. People have just had enough of hearing about violent crime from asylum seekers, people are scared for their safety( four very serious cases in the news just in the last couple of weeks). I honestly think things are at tipping point, I'm surprised there isn't more public protesting. We are being absolutely shafted.
They also need to seriously address the problems facing our younger generation rather than everything being focused on pensioners. I work with pensioners and the vast majority are not struggling, in fact quite the opposite. On the other hand so many youngsters in crisis/ unemployed/ huge student debt etc.

Adding the knowing what a woman is. The trans pandering has to be recognised as destructive now - look at what they did to women in Brighton when they tried to get together to discuss feminism! Mad how under reported the trans violence issue is.

Worldgonecrazy · 30/10/2025 08:45

We all knew they weren't going to do that.

Starmer said it out loud in 2021 that it isn't right to say, only women have a cervix - and women, still voted for his party. 😱

I'm no fan of Sunak but he at least said woman is an adult human female.

I was at a conference pre general election as part of my work and I can't give away too much about it, because it's identifying.

In the same conference center there was a LGBTQ+ conference going on and I heard discussions in the corridors from many trans people saying they couldn't wait for labour to get in. They knew they d be more friendly than the tories.

Why on earth did women vote for them?It was obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes labour supported this nonsense.

There was also much screaming about needing to vote labour because of disabled people.And disabled children, and here they are, cutting all the disabled benefits.So I don't know what anyone expected. It's come as no surprise to me. Labour, aren't the shining beacon, you think they are.

Greenwitchart · 30/10/2025 08:55

Behave like a Labour government, not the Tories 2.0 and sack Reeves.

I didn't vote for them but no party seems to be recognising what a woman is apart from the far right ones. I don't align with any of their other policies.
Funnily I also don't have an issue with women transitioning to men, as they like men and are respectful to their chosen gender. It's the women hating rapists who use transitioning as an excuse to be violent and stalk women that they don't have a grip on.

Overthemhills · 30/10/2025 09:03

I voted for them for this election because I’d never vote Tory and I was utterly sickened by the last government.
I won’t vote for this current Labour again.
Re immigration- the small boats problem is a failure of the British and Europe (Brexit?) to have a returns policy as they did when the “third country policy” was in place- people were returned, often by return flight, to European countries on arrival. The UK did not process (or fail to process) asylum claims from those who had claimed asylum in another country. I used to work in immigration (Home Office) - I don’t know what has changed since I left 12 years ago.
There have always been illegal arrivals from economic migrants and also arrivals from those seeking asylum (from the same countries we now have).

You see the issue with this is that it is factually incorrect.

The key features of Conservative governments have been privatisation and fast growth GDP in some decades but at the expense of social equity and rising regional divergence. They cause the gap between the richest and poorest to grow and reduce public services.

Labour founded the welfare state, the NHS, fought social inequality with proven successes like Sure Start (then dismantled by the Cons), and protected the young and elderly from material deprivation in the post-war years but at the cost of periods of mixed impact on growth.

Between both the analysis of economic performance is marginal differences. The factor for judging success then becomes if you prefer to see greater opportunities for those with money to make more or if you prefer to see everyone with better opportunities and protections.

If they raise taxes, raise taxes for all and not just working middle-high earners. Properly reform the welfare system so that those who really need it get more and those who don’t get less and incentivise those who can to be less reliant on the state. If I’m going to pay more tax I want it to go to those who need it most.

Also, the two worst examples of child abuse in recent years are baby p and victoria climbie. Both under labour government, where they admitted systematic failings the local authorities involved.

I remember being at school, just started, secondary and blairs labour were going on about education education education. Then the first thing they did was introduce tuition fees. Then they were the party that increased them.

They aren't perfection, you do know that right?

You know where you stand with the tories labour are fake champagne socialists.

NewGirlInTown · 30/10/2025 09:15

Secure the borders. Get the Navy into the Channel and use them properly.
Take seriously the rape epidemic being inflicted on innocent girls and women. Stop supporting the horror show that is Islam.

AnneLovesGilbert · 30/10/2025 09:17

I didn’t vote for them and there’s nothing they could do that would make me consider ever doing so. Keir Starmer is an awful awful human being.
