I wonder if one of the experts on here can work out how that equates to the percentage of those eligible to vote actually supporting the policies. Not exactly a clear mandate is it? The 52% turnout was the lowest since 1918. Labour got 33.7% of that and only 5% of them backed the policies. There's something shy of 47,000,000 voters in the UK. I reckon that's less than 1% of those eligible to vote that back Labour policies.
Basically it sums up what the vast majority of the British public think of all Parties in general and hypocritical lying politicians in particular. I was hoping the God awful Tory ****wits were obliterated completely.
Tories getting a pasting on their efforts to try and wrestle a sly win from the prison crisis that they manufactured.
Okay, I am going to have to be Mr Consistent here and go with the actual facts version. I have already done the same to someone on another thread picking numbers out of the air or from dodgy mainstream media sources using various dubious rounding methods. According to the official Parliament statistics the turnout was 59.9%, down 7.4 percentage points on 2019. Labour obtained 33.7% of that vote, which equates to 20.2% of the available electorate (my calculation: 33.7 x 0.599). When I use the phrase ‘available electorate’ that references all of the adults that were registered on the electoral roll on 4th July. So that does not add in any illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, other foreigners, etc. (not eligible) but would include people overseas with postal votes, etc. before anyone comes back with some idea that there are millions unregistered or who did not have voter ID. So, therefore, if one takes the stated 5% backing Labour’s policies as being an accurate reflection of voter intention then just a fraction over 1% of the electorate voted for Labour on the grounds of their policies (my calculation: 5 x 0.202). This would appear to confirm your hypothesis. Interestingly, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), when they last produced figures in 2021, there were 2 million people more registered to vote in local elections than there were for national elections: 48.8 million versus 46.6 million. According to the 2023 ONS dataset, there were 49,021,248 registered voters in December but only 46,630,069 on the Parliamentary voter roll.
I doubt you could find your way out of the end of your road and if you seriously think he’s in the Caribbean then you genuinely are the thickest **** I’ve ever come across. Edit, And there we have it. A few posts further on and he admits he’s not in the Caribbean. So I was correct on 2 accounts, 1 he’s not on holiday and 2 you really are the thickest **** I’ve ever come across
