Things Can Only Get Better,

[gulliver1]

Just only one quarter of the voting public think the Tories will win the next GE. By contrast ,over half of the public believe Labour will sweep to power, with Sir Keir Starmer becoming the Next Prime Minister according to the ,
"YouGov Survey" . After the Cons suffered a huge Drubbing at last weeks local elections .Best get on the phone to Pickfords then Sunak . Your time is up . Good bye. The writing is on the wall at last for the Cons . .......GOOD! .............Get ready to pocket the keys to no 10 then .Sir Keir.....Well done.

Dont think Pickfords have a18 month waiting list.... but hope your right

After PMQs today .....:
"Interesting to listen to Beth Rigby afterwards saying that in order to get a majority Sir Beer will need a bigger swing than St Tony in 1997 and that was the largest ever apparently. "

[cashier]

People surveyed think it, not all the voting public.

[Hopkirk]

I don't think SKS thinks Labour will sweep to power. He's already sidling up to the Libdems.

[ToraToraTora]

Funny Gully seems to have more confidence than Sir Beer.

The main difference between 1997 and 2024 is not the public's hatred and distrust of the tories - it's that in 2024, unlike 1997, there is no hugely charismatic leader of the Labour party to galvanise the party and get the electorate into the voting booths. Thatcher and Blair both knew how to win elections - I honestly don't think Starmer would know where to start...

I think Labour will probably win the most number of seats, but will come nowhere lose to an overall majority. A repeat of the landslide that Blair won in 1997 is just pie in the sky.

steady jimf, you'll have gully all confused.

[JimF]

Not with the head start he has...

ttt @ 21 55 Do try and think for yourself, instead of copying the female power crazy mod.. OK. Me old china.

[ToraToraTora]

22:09 - I was quoting Beth Rigby when did she become a mod?

[gulliver1]

Did the Cons achieve a world record last Thursday, for losing the most seats ever, in an election.

[ToraToraTora]

...no that is held by Tony Blair and Tory Lite, mid terms you see!

[gulliver1]

22,12 ..I was quoting your Head mistress on Ab.

[ToraToraTora]

Blair lost 1150 in 1999

Only 4% of people in the survey think the Tories will ever win an election again in the next decade.

i would absolutely love a crippling tory defeat which ensured those people were stripped of the power to harm the vulnerable for a very long time… preferably until they had figured out a better way to be tory… i actually wish the tories would rediscover being “conservative” as their name suggestsbecause it does at least imply adherence to a coherent set of principles… the party does not currently have these

unfortunately i think a hung parliament is far more likely but that would at least be an improvement

[gulliver1]

The Ailing Tory party need supporters like TTT.
Perhaps they could employ him as a Recruting Officer.

[ToraToraTora]

election tomorrow = hung parliament, 18 months time Tory majority, game over and Labour clock up their half century without an election win!
