Seems to be a lot of people pointing to this article but isn't it just a long winded version of the much criticised 'voters are stupid'? It basically says those that have voted Conservative have fallen for a load of BS and if Labour just wait long enough they'll realise their mistake and return...

The issue is that it prevents some people from voting and has been shown to disproportionally impact certain demographics. 3.5 million people in the UK don't any photo ID , if you require either a passport or driving license that increases to 11 million. These are often the poorer people in...

In the 2010 general election the Conservative manifesto promised a referendum on EU membership, they got 36.9% of the vote. In the 2021 Scottish election the SNP manifesto promised a referendum on UK membership, they got 47.7% of the vote. Why does one give a mandate and not the other?

How much value do any of those 'brands' have anymore? Is there a discussion to be had to merging all three under a new name to try and lose some of the baggage. Very drastic but I can't see any sign of a Labour resurgence anytime soon and the Lub Dem and Greens are firmly on the sidelines.

Certainly exceeded my expectations. Well done to everyone. As ever we need to keep building and look to finish higher next year.

As annoying as Rotherham postponing all those games was it would be quite funny if they send Derby and Wednesday down.

Bloody Robins being all cautious and shitting himself again :D

My stream is literally 5 minutes behind! Won't be many surprises watching today.

Isn't there a cut off date and any deduction after that rolls over to next season?

They knew all about it but decided sending people to prison and trying to cover up the IT failures was the best option.

So after all this are we finally setting on the reason for people voting Conservative being 'they're not Labour'? Struggle to get my head round that to be honest. As I've said before I can think of many reasons not to vote Labour, I've voted for other parties far more frequently than I've voted...

Don't think those asking what the attraction is to voting Conservative are sneering, I certainly don't intend to come over that way. Its a genuine question. I look at what's happened since the Conservative came to power in 2010 and can't think of a single reason I would vote for them, if I'm...

Same here. Not traditionally a Labour voter but voting for anyone else is a wasted vote. Its a vote against the Conservatives rather than a vote for Labour. I have no idea what Labours polices are in this election or the direction Starmer wants to take the party in as his actions are very...

You're posting in a political discussion thread, not exactly unreasonable to be asked political questions. Especially when there's been a discussion going on for a while about why people vote Conservative.

I've had things through the door every day for the Conservatives. One generic leaflet from Labour that just listed all their Coventry candidates, nothing specific to where I live. And nothing at all from the other parties. I had to google who was standing! Same on Facebook, multiple daily posts...

Out of interest when you all didn't vote Labour because of Corbyn did you vote Conservative? If so what was it that attracted your vote? And now that Corbyn is gone has your vote returned to Labour? Absolutely agree people can do what they want. However the question has been repeatedly asked in...

No idea if that is true or not but I did hear a polling expert make an interesting point this morning. He reckoned that a decent chunk of Corbyn voters were previously non-voters and their vote hasn't moved to another party, they've gone back to being non-voters. Looking at Hartlepool as an...

Wasn't expecting Labour to come storming back in this election but its shaping up far worse for them than I could have possibly imagined. You can't blame the Brexit Party vote splitting or vaccine bounce when you're haemorrhaging voters to the Lib Dems and Greens. Hopefully Labour will now...

They've being flown to the Maldives, couple of weeks there isn't exactly a disaster. Looks like BCCI are footing the bill and will fly a charter from there back to Australia subject to government approval with Cricket Australia being very clear they aren't seeking any exception to the rules in...
