The Green party is now polling second behind Reform, according to a poll carried out in the wake of new Green MP Hannah Spencer’s win at Gorton and Denton.
I think its because in many ways the 2024 GE was a vote against the tories rather than a vote for labour. Coupled with that labour haven’t really been that big a shift away from the shit people are tired from the Tories with has lead to a cratering of their fairly limited support.
I’ll absolutely buy into that logic. But why would they take such a huge lead and just throw it out like that? They should have realized that their policies stink, no?
Need him around to pin that disaster on before switching.
With no obvious successor, an internal party system that doesn’t support habitual back stabbing like the Tories have, and a public that is more split than two royal brothers on whose fault all this is, it is going to get messy!
Labour are going to throw so much **** over the next six months, they’ll still be stinking come next election.
Oh, and I also believe the reason they’ve collapsed faster is all the frustration that built over ten years and wiped out the Tories just got transferred to Labour.
People voted for change. and like confused freddie mercury fans, they got Status Quo and they didn’t want that.
Yeah. Labour seems to have gotten as far as knowing they needed to talk about change to win the election, but seemed not to realize they had to do something about it after they won.
To be fair to them, it must be really hard to understand the need for change if you are a posh member of parliament. What’s wrong with the status quo? Look at all these people licking your boots! /s
It’s so odd it took the Tories decades to lose support, and Starmer manages it in just a couple of years.
I am surprised Labour is not sacking him posthaste.
From what I’ve listened to, the right faction of the party are keeping Starmer to prevent the left faction from replacing him.
Sounds like tossing the baby with the bath water…
