Yes because you yourself have said you haven’t got what you voted for. If you look at the 2024 election with a view that Labour wasn’t that popular in the first place, then their polling ratings today should make sense to anyone. There’s a sense that Labour are nothing differently to the...

No, the government has made decisions itself admitted were ‘difficult’. The winter fuel allowance being cut whilst the costs of migrant hotels spiralling is absolute toxic to the electorate. Raising taxes in their maiden budget again didn’t go down well. Starmer is unpopular, people don’t trust...

They won a landslide because of our niche electoral system. I didn’t vote for Labour but it was good they got a majority because they should have pressed ahead with their agenda of NHS reform, ‘smashing the gangs’ and so on. I like that electoral system gives the winners large majorities...

If Labour lurches to the right to fend off Reform, it risks exposing its left flank to the Lib Dems and/or Greens. As of this moment, it is a remote possibility, but so too was Reform supplanting the Tories was the dominant right wing party. I have quite a few mates who have flipped to the...

The calibre of counsellors of all parties is generally low. A Labour MP candidate (and Coventry counsellor at the time) came into my politics A-level class and was she was genuinely unimpressive. They were my thoughts at the time despite being a Labour voter then. The electorate want to punish...

Not this again. 35% of the popular vote is lowest vote share for winning party in living memory. Reform’s vote share cost the Tories around 90-100 seats, allowing Labour to sneak through with a small majority. Examples of this include the High profile Tories who lost their seats such as...

People need to be careful what they wish for. Spain have done better under a ‘Spanish Southgate’ than they did under elite manager Luis Enrique. The international game is different. Tuchel has my backing, 100%. The bar is set incredibly high for him to surpass Southgate.

By definition, the electorate is correct. The public are generally fed with the traditional parties. Labour landslide was a loveless marriage (their vote share was lower than under Corbyn) and the early blunders in government has soured public opinion against them further. What didn’t help is...

Which isn’t even a national league. In Spain, only the top 2 or 3 leagues are national leagues. The rest are split into regions. Context here is that Spain is a bigger country and has more autonomous regions, but still.

Unfortunately tor you, the electorate disagrees pretty strongly.

The tone of this post alone tells me you’re driven by hatred/envy of the rich than concern for the poor. Free market capitalism has lead to the largest expansion of living standards. Like you, I agree capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the others.

I can’t imagine any England managers have had an easier starting 3 games in Albania, Latvia and Andorra. Too right, it was shite.

Imagine the reaction if Southgate was still manager… Fair to Tuchel for calling out the performance for what it was: shite. His early report card is not looking good. The silver lining is that these games are mostly a formality so there’s not much to read into atm and certainly no need for...

You don’t think the left deploys fear and blame? Look at some of the envy shown by our more left wing posters on; private school VAT raises, wealth taxes, second home ownership and so on. The left has also bought into the conspiracy theory that the NHS is being deliberately defunded so it...

To flip this on its head, why do you keep falling for the idea that government can fix all the ills of the world?

The operative word is ‘was’, it’s past tense. When Farage achieved his political goals, he rode off into the sunset. His abrupt comeback last year was only possible because the government had ‘betrayed’ its 2019 coalition of voters. In fact, the reason Sunak called the election earlier was to...

In your honest opinion, do you feel like you’ve got what you voted for? My personal view is that reality has hit this government hard in the face and they haven’t got what it takes to get out of the rut. They’re 1 year in and had 2 (?) resets, several U-turns and there’s even talk that Starmer...

Labour has had a fair crack of the whip, their blunders have been almost entirely self inflicted. They haven’t even been in power for a year. To be charitable, Labour has drawn the short straw so to speak because the electorate is that disillusioned after the successive regicidal Tory...

He was retired because there was nothing for him to gain being in frontline politics. The Brexit debate had been won and the Boris majority of 2019 was an electoral programme that nullified Farage. Had the Tories delivered their manifesto pledges, not let the tax burden and immigration get to...

It’s a shock win for Labour, for sure. The Labour candidate had a Q&A that went viral for refusing to endorse the government policy on WFA. Reform got that result with a small volunteer group of 94 people and as you rightly point out, haven’t put much effort into Scotland because it seemed out...
