  It is a worry of mine that we will be giving so much power to Labour at the next election

  And it’s a worry of mine that you’re about to hand it straight back to the Conservatives.

    This is what I don’t understand about people who are now anti labour for the next election. They do realise that means the tories will win?

      if peoples answer to the last decade is more Conservatives in power, we are not just fucked but also unable to recognise that fact

  don’t worry. the tories will get rid of inheritance tax, ban low traffic neighbourhoods and push back the ban on new diesel and petrol cars, then ride a wave of public support to another landslide election next year.

    Polling is showing that this is not what the public want. The Tories are pushing it, but I think the success rate is very much more limited.

    But we have a FPTP voting system. This means that we vote mostly for what we do not want over what we desire most. I too will have to pinch my nose and vote Labour next time out. They most definitely would not get that vote under a STV system.

      I think you’re being naive if you think Starmer will do anything about it

        We all have our opinions. I don’t have any evidence one way or another. I do have an idea of the consequences though, considering the Tory media love to latch onto anything that denigrates Labour and their system of internal governance.
