Election 2024

Labour majority of around 50 seats I reckon. Lib Dems need to win around 50 themselves. Reports of the extinction of the Tories are premature, unfortunately.

 

It won't be over 400 Welshie. No way. I reckon between 350 to 370.

 

If a Labour win is a given, then LibDem with 55+ seats is the best thing that can happen in the GE.

 

Welshie just making numbers up for bantz lol

 

You don't think they can even match Tony Blairs 97 election?

That election was 43% Labour 30% Tory.

This election polling is 40% Labour 20% Tory.

 

You're forgetting mate, the Sucky's of this world have to get out of bed first.

 

Sucky is early 40s so he got out of bed in 97

 

I don't know about the polls tbh. There's a sizeable amount who haven't decided. There's been a decent effort by the press to say Labour haven't got any details on the plans, which is funny as no party has ever had much detail to their manifesto. Except Kinnock/Smith and that was a disaster. And I expect turnout to be low as well.

 

I think the key difference here as opposed to other elections such as 97 and 2010 is that the Tories are doing so poorly. Even in 97 there was an element of people who still had faith in the Tory government, but apathy and dislike for the current government is unparalleled, I don't think the country has seen anything like it for many years.

I think it will help inflate Labours seats; they will take most of England, all of Wales, lots of Scotland from the SNP. It's an absolute perfect storm for Labour.

I don't think them holding all their current seats and winning 200 is so outlandish in the current climate.

Sunak has been PM for just shy of 2 years, Brown was only PM for 3. I think there is an unbelievable divide in how the public views these two PMs.

 

Definitely agree about Scotland. It's weird aint it that just a few years ago it looked like Labour were finished there, and with that so was any chance of winning a GE.

Just on 97, there were two things - Maastricht and Back to Basics scandals with Mellor and Major. Just those two things alone crucified them to an extent. Nowadays that would be yesterday's news very quickly. You need about a dozen things now for it to stick imo.

 

Lucky for Labour that Sunak deliver a dozen **** ups before breakfast these days.

 

That bloke is a walking disaster. You usually find at least one dickhead like him in every corporate company.

 

all you need is the majority the Tories had after the 2019 election and you can pass all legislation which isn't totally nuts or on sensitive subjects when free votes are often allowed the death penalty and abortion are 2 obvious examples of the latter .

 

Did a quick sloppy mock-up. House of Commons after summer renovations

 

Have to say Ed Davey is mental but I like him



Never known anything like it in a GE.

 

I’m all for it. He’d get no airtime plodding around a tuna factory in Grimsby or whatever the **** Sunak has been doing.

 

It's his 3rd viral moment now?

Can't say he's not putting the effort in

 

Looking forward to what he does today.
