Well at least the Greens are polling relatively high. Hope that trend grows now with new leader + possible collapse of Corbyn/Sultana.

Those kinds of numbers unfortunately don’t usually translate into seats under FPTP, especially with one party so far in the lead.

Not surprising. This country is basically a clown show, and he helped build it.

Well helped perpetuate it anyway, it has been a clown show for a while now

the amount of people who forget that we had over a decade of Tory rule astounds me sometimes
urno@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Seems a bit rough to overlook the previous Tory shitshows?

Behave like Tories and get treated like Tories.

I haven’t followed UK politics much lately, but sounds similar to Labour in NZ. Take over from conservatives trying to sell off the country and fuck over the poor, win a mandate super majority election, do nothing or worse, back track on your progressive campaign promises… Get railed in the next election.
And the government that took over is the worst we’ve had in decades.

Which doesn’t explain the reform support.

Fascinating from a US perspective. When Democrats perform badly we don’t blame the Party, we just scream at the voters for not voting for the Democrats hard enough
circuscritic@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
The Democrats never fail us, we just continually fail them.
Which is also a sentiment extremely popular on Lemmy.

Who could have thought that saying “fuck you and by the way my opponent is right” to voters would not be a winning electoral strategy

yeah, why is he in crisis? this is what he worked for. tirelessly.

The only thing I’m pushing for from the government now is proportional voting before the next election. Otherwise we’ll be in a fascist Reform hell.

I have been telling since the start, Keir Starmer is a seat warmer for Nigel Farage.

I thought the Democrats' 27% was bad, but holy fuck.

He’s shit and everything, sure, but this is The Express. I wouldn’t even use the paper to wipe my arse.

I wonder how many Labour PMs we’ll see before the next GE.

Who would have thought being a Zionist, billionaire serving, authoritarian bitch would go down badly?

It’s honestly baffling how tone deaf his government is
yucandu@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The polls suggest the people want leaders who are more of those things.
