So the tax burden will go up for abnormal people?

I’ve already said, the number of seats was no surprise so I’m not that phased. I am astonished at the poor numbers of votes that Labour got, way below my expectations - and I suspect yours too. The candidate I voted for retained their seat which is enough for me.

Your last point is an interesting one. And yes, a dramatic loss for the Conservatives.

N I’m pretty sure the Tory and conservative vote will be amalgamated at the next election.

Sorry they didn’t. Look at number of seats where Tory + Reform greater then Labour but seat was a Labour gain. TBH, it really doesn’t bother me if Labour voters want to delude themselves. I very much doubt that Labour Party officials and analysts will be so complacent. They will, of course, try...

As Labour haven’t taken votes from the Tories, they will need to get some from somewhere In 5 years time when there is a bit of left wing disillusionment and Tory memory loss. Hence the children’s vote.

They will be dying off and the increased taxes will be needed to pay for the Gen Xs

They didn’t fall for it, it’s Tories who Labour hadn't convinced to switch to them,

It really isn’t a brilliant result for Labour. The position in terms of proportion of the vote has barely improved from 2019 and the percentage of those eligible to vote who have voted Labour has actually decreased.

Thank you. And one for the vanquished?

You can’t possibly know that. Starmer wanted to extend lock down which would have caused even more damage to the economy. Who knows what his stance on Ukraine would have been. People of on here have been expecting a basic level of competence from the new Labour government. I would suggest that...

Well, even a stopped clock is right twice a day 😀

I think people just didn’t want the Tories. They certainly haven’t flocked in droves to support Starmer’s Labour,

@ Lets hope we don’t get the shit shows of another pandemic and that Russia doesnt invade a neighbour over the nex5 5 years.

It is democracy, it’s not an endorsement or a mandate.
