Politics Thread 7: Dishy Rishi's Cabinet of Horrors

[Sprouty]

It won't happen, but the Tories being overtaken by the LDs would be hilarious.

A sub text to this.

I am starting to lean towards voting LibDem in the next GE, simply because I dont want Reform to be the third biggest party nationally. However, I also believe that a party receiving 15% of the vote deserves more MPs than a party receiving 10%. The prediction here giving Reform 0 seats to LibDem 57 shows a broken system, despite my personal preference.

If anyone is interested, my local Tory MP holds a tiny majority, with Labour less than one percent behind, so current polling would all but guarantee a Labour win here.

Also, lol at 18% vote share.

I fully support PR.

But at the same time, when it comes to Reform, I can't help thinking "strawberry float 'em".

I'll be heading out later to vote Labour for the Teesside mayoral election, though the polls have the current Conservative mayor retaining his position. Pretty much the fact he's pumped ungodly amounts of money into a dying airport that people have an unhealthy obsession with seems to be the main reason.

Even in that delicious poll, an entire third of the electorate is pro-fash. So very strawberry floated up.

The "I have mine and strawberry float the rest" mob.

I don't think the right wing/far right percentage will ever drop below a third of the country. Some people just love to be ruled by banana splits.

[Tomous]

While I desperately want Lib Dems to become the official opposition I still think some voters will return to the Tories come election when it becomes clear Labour are going to win so as not to give them too much power.

Maybe. But I think the Tories are strawberry floated in two ways. The more moderate Tories will shift towards the LDs and maybe some to Labour. And the outright crazy/racist Tories will shift towards Reform.

They'll get votes from the fools that treat politics like a football team. And probably some old banana splits who read the Express and think Starmer is further right than Karl Marx himself.

But otherwise, it's a struggle to see where their support is going to come from.

[Tomous]

They really need Reform to drop out but they'd be nuts to do so this time round given the opportunity they will see the next GE as for themselves.

Roy Chubby Brown's looking well.

A horrific murder in London, a 14 year old dead. And the S*n go with:

strawberry floating "sword lad"? strawberry float the S*n and every banana split that writes for it or buys it.

All coming for their £3,000 and free flights.

The evidence is clear: Rwanda is working. We're the only party with a plan to deliver for the British people.

Just voted in the London local elections, 3 different ballots but it was well organized and colour coded. A steady flow of people attending too.

[Cuttooth]

My only election today is for a Police and Crime Commissioner. What a let down.

[Knoyleo]

We had local council, mayoral, and PCC.

Voted Greens for council and mayor, a total waste, then incumbent Labour in a 2 party ballot with the tories for PCC.

All felt very pointless

[Lagamorph]

I didn't even realise there was a PCC election here too, have seen nothing about it. Voted Labour for that as it was only Tory or Labour, then Labour for the mayoral election, which was a choice between Labour, Tory or Lib Dem.

[rinks]

Just PCC here too. Probably wouldn't have bothered if it weren't for postal voting.
