McGlovin' Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Labour achieved a vote share of under 20% of the voting population... I wonder if there will be any serious discussion or joining of the dots regarding the Tories attempts at voter suppression and the massive drop in turnout. Or shrugged off as dissatisfaction with the "main" parties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth saying, when folk on lower incomes feel others are benefiting from society and they're not, it drives many towards the far right. It's incredibly important to make sure they feel that life is getting better for them and that politicians are doing things to help people like them. Lots of things the SNP have done are in that category. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 14 minutes ago, eez-eh said: Who is saying that Labour would have done better? I don’t think anyone would do any better but anyone who wasn’t born yesterday knows that doesn’t matter to most of the electorate. When the ruling party is in such a bad way they inevitably take a kicking for it regardless of how shite the opposition is. As someone who (reluctantly) voted for them yesterday the constant whataboutery as if you’re defending your favourite football team at all costs does my tits in. No that just goes to prove how thick* people are. If you support Independence, which a huge amount of voters still do, and would vote Labour over SNP even if you don’t think they would have/will do a better job it’s the sign of daftness. Equally if you support Independence and didn’t vote yesterday the same applies. * I was tempted to say ‘fickle’ but will stick with ‘thick’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a man of the people we've elected eh Where else did you think he would go?

I don’t disagree with the gist of this but if the SNP weren’t in such a mess it wouldn’t have been as big an issue. Is the electorate full of idiots? Yes. Is the onus on the SNP to take meaningful action to win back votes? Also yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zetterlund Posted July 5 Popular Post Share Posted July 5 So Jeremy Corbyn won more votes in 2019 despite one of the biggest political smear campaigns in history, and while his own party was quite openly trying to sabotage it from within, than Sir Keir did with fawning coverage versus the worst Tory government of recent times. Then JC holds his own seat as an independent against the party that kicked him out. Jezza the real winner here IMO. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be more than 4 figures before even hitting the higher rate threshold in England. The “vast majority” I was referring to were the public service workers who are, apparently, very happy to pay a “marginal” increase. Now you’ve done it. Spreadsheet here I come. Not saying you’re wrong, but I need to know fo sho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
