How are Labour doing after their first 12 months


  • Total voters

I really don’t think he’ll lose many votes regardless of what he does. He might do things to stop them picking up more but it takes a hell of a lot to convince a ****gibbon who has decided “they’re all the same- we like Nige cos he’s one of us” that they’re wrong and if anything you just further entrench them when pointing out what a grifter he is or that their ‘contract’ is economically unviable. A lot of the vote is for ‘upsetting the lefties’ or ‘punishing the Tories’ and once someone is in that mindset they aren’t budging.

Half of them will forget their ID or get bored queueing anyway.
 
He has absolutely nothing of substance to offer anyone, and no interest in doing any heavy lifting.

People saw through Boris eventually, they’ll see through this duplicitous showboating **** too; it’s only a matter of when.

You say people saw through Boris eventually, but that's not completely true, because we have no way of measuring how he would have done at another election, because the people never removed him. I expect at a guess a lot more people would have voted for Boris than Rishi....but we will never know now.

It's exactly that, it's like I said a few months back, I didn't even know anything about Reform, now I know more than I choose to know, all because people will not stop chatting about them, so all the milkshakes and whatever else is chucked at them, makes them known. I think it was only Peej on here as an example at first chatting about them, now everyone is chatting about them...and people wonder why these shhites get in! I said the same with Trump ages ago, bringing in all these charges against him, is only going to assist his political campaign, yet before that he was virtually being ignored, people just don't learn.

It doesn't help the press bang on about them. There's two things with this.

The first is the right wing rags who will promote him. The TV news programmes that have helped to make him relevant.

The second is ratings and their revenue. I was listening to a radio show over the weekend and the presenter openly said that if you want the phone lines to light up just talk about Farage.

Same mentality with Trump. He might have tried to start an insurrection, lied about sleeping with a hooker, paid her hush money and stolen confidential documents. But that’s all a democrat conspiracy to stop Trump from exposing them all as blood drinking peados

Very true the last sentence. Who was the MP who got into parliament recently on the back of Palestine support, he appeared some years back on Big Brother, made a complete tit of himself but it works, it makes them a celebrity name.

George Galloway. Tbf he’s been around for donkeys so it’s not just on the back or the Palestine issue. But he’s a definite thorn in the side of establishment
 
Got no idea what those blokes have done. Not sure I’d trust a insta tag to find them guilty either.
I agree with that. Just wouldnt celebrate a couple of old men getting chinned in front of the wives and kids by a gang of young lads, the way you and Sucky are doing.

That's what I said, he was on Big Brother some years back. <doh>
 
I think you're right that for many who had already made up their mind he had a big influence, but the vote was won by the ppl who were convinced during the campaign.

It was Vote Leave (credit Cummings) who did their research and reached the wider public much more effectively. 'Take back control', the NHS on the side of the bus, Boris talking about Turks flooding in, Reece Mogg on deregulation and making our own laws, Gove on all the new trade deals. That was all Vote Leave.

Farage yesterday on their manifesto announcement has opened them up to far more scrutiny. They had a car crash yesterday and that was day 1. Every day from now on he'll get the same and he won't get away with spouting bollox.

Some of the policies won't go down well at all with everyday ppl or will seem ridiculous. For example life sentences for drug dealers, cutting billions in benefits and public services, leaving EHCR, private insurace for NHS, the impact of increase in the cost of borrowing if you scrap interest payments on bonds. Add to that, none of the figures they're quoting add up.

Will that matter to anyone already triggered by the immigration rhetoric? Probably not, but that's his base. It will however put off much of "middle England" and ppl looking at something credible and currently pissed off with the state of the country under the tories and looking for more.
Mainly agree with most of that.

Farage doesn’t need his figures to add up. He knows that. This election and the next few years will be all about building up a supporter base. He’ll say whatever he needs to because he’s not being properly scrutinised until he’s genuinely a contender in an election.

As for going private with over our health. I’ve banged that drum for well over a decade now. It doesn’t work in its current form. It needs help financially and if that means going through some sort of insurance or pay at the point of service then so be it if it will run more efficiently.
