Polling in connection with the Labour Party and public attitudes

Quoting from:

Poll proves wokery lost Labour 'red wall' seats: Sir Keir Starmer's Party is overwhelmingly associated with politically correct issues that are not backed by public

"...Labour is also perceived to support the issue of men being allowed to redefine themselves as women and access female-only facilities, with 43 per cent associating the party with support for it and just nine per cent regarding it as a Tory issue.

Only 19 per cent of people support the measure, while 48 per cent oppose it.

Likewise, 31 per cent think Labour would support the idea of breastfeeding being renamed 'chestfeeding', but only five per cent of voters back it; and 36 per cent think Labour would support children being given puberty blockers as part of hormone therapy to change gender, with 61 per cent of people opposing it...."

Isn’t it interesting that you’re talking of them being a credible opposition again, like being in government isn’t even in their to do list.

Given they have several more years in opposition, it is telling you don't think they will become credible in that time.

I am not convinced that it is wokery driving the voters away from Labour. Otherwise why is the SNP doing so well?

I would suggest reading ‘The Road to Somewhere’ by David Goodhart.

The SNP has managed to tap into the ‘somewhere’ passion that Labour is more than somewhat ashamed of.

The wokery pales into insignificance for many in comparison for the disdain that Labour seems to show for the British and Britain in general. The SNP can escape from this by blaming the English.

Whether this is accurate or not is irrelevant. It’s about perception. That’s the perception that people have about Labour. Every time Keir waves the flag he’s got plenty in his party sneering at him for it.

Politics can be funny - there is often an element of people wanting to stick it to the man.

Who's the man, though? The PM? The EU? The English?

The plausible target will depend on who you are and where you live in many cases.

Maybe for now, but in the event of Independence the other issues will rapidly rise to the fore. The SNP has become the de facto Labour party of Scotland for now, though I suspect that in the event of another independence vote quite a few SNP voters will vote 'No'.
