I think they’ll get a majority but not a big one. There are places that voted for Blair who won’t go for Starmer IMO and the Lib Dems should do well in the more affluent Tory areas. If Labour and the Libs (and Greens) work together they have the potential to make the Tory number of seats hilariously small but they won’t and there’ll be a few seats the Tories sneak into with 40% or less of the vote. 8/11 for a Labour majority which isn’t a terrible bet at all IMO if you’re willing to tie your money up for 18 months.
This is a good one. I’m sure if I looked back far enough there’d be plenty of my own posts I’d be embarrassed about now albeit with the excuse of youth. I was quite centre-right then which was influenced by what I learned at school and uni despite this myth Education is full of Marxists.
I stand by most of that and did indeed state that Boris had become an embarrassing failure. The fact that you find my comments about Corbyn and the Liberal Elite indefensible, says everything about you. Education is indeed tilted towards the left, indoctrinating the young and impressionable, in much the same way religious schools do in favour of religion. You are very much in the minority starting out centre right and moving to your present Liberal elite standpoint. Most people are more left of centre in their thinking when young and then become more centralist as they grow up.
That’s changing with millennials as people are sick of being shat on by the government and your generation.
A high cost of living, declining purchasing power and opportunities stolen by a government doing nothing to help groups unlikely to vote for them mostly. A bit rich from the generation that fetishises a war they were lucky enough to miss and reaped the benefits of cheap housing that followed.
Same here, when younger I was quite centre right I reckon. My eyes and mind opened as I got older and always remember my grandad saying, " a vote for the Tories is a vote for the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer'. Never has that been more apparent than the present day.
Cheap housing ? I paid £65k for my first house I’ll have you know…..but at least it was fully furnished. You lot don’t realise you’ve had it so good
I’ve never hid away from the fact I was far-right….when I realised they were a bunch of ****s I became far left……I’ve now realised they are all a bunch of ****s so I’m far-removed from them all
