Unless you like in Ashton-under-Lyne you won't be but I get your point.

That said, she probably has more in common with you and I than Reece-Mogg or Sunak or Cameron ever will.

More than likely. Just don't like her at all.

Fwiw, Labour under Starmer are OK or at least the less incompetent lot.

I just can't bring myself to 'want' any of the weak as piss leaders.

The consolation is they are marginally better than Trump or Biden

Interesting that almost 2/3 of the country don’t want a Labour government. I suspect it will be more come the election.

Fuck knows who or if I'll be voting - but I can't vote for Rayner. Can't stand her.

Doubt I'll vote tbh, I'll put up with what we get but its going to be shit for years yet.

I can't see the state of the country improving for years as there are far too many bone idle fuckers

Go for the best NHS/Care policy... it's the country's DNA... get everyone healthy and happy and we'll be on our way again, put shit loads into health the rest will follow in my view. austerity killed this country

No need to figure. Plainly obvious the Tories are unpopular. It’s just that most people don’t think Labour are any better.

What a cunt

I might be wrong but I am not sure that's how these polls work. For example loads never even bother to vote at all despite being eligible to do so, so they won't even bother with a poll.

Why post it then?🤷‍♂️

Labour supporters are becoming more of a minority. It’s not about bashing the Tories any more. Unfortunately, that’s all they had. 
For a bit of comparison, if your poll is correct, Labour are just 3 points above where they were in the last poll before the 2019 election. 
It could be interesting.

And a lot more don’t think Reform are any better either

I was just posting the latest YouGov poll that showed labour losing a bit of ground, mainly to Lib Dems looking at it.

Assuming 2/3 is 66%

Last time out, with a massive majority, 57% didn't want the Tories last time 

It doesn't sound like much of a difference when you put it like that

Of course. I suspect it will be more than 66% come the election. Labour could be the most unpopular government ever elected (on number of votes) This is down to the Tory collapse, the fragmented spread amongst other parties and our first past the post system.

These polls are often well off though

Tories won in 2015. 

36.8% of those who voted, voted Team Blue.

33.6% didnt bother to vote.

QED. 75.4 of the eligible voters didnt vote for them, and in your words, dodnt want a Tory Government.

1935 was the last time a party got >50% of the vote.

 

There wont be anything exceptional thius election on that score.

Ignoring the ‘didn’t vote’ stat. 63.2 % didn’t vote blue. I’m saying it will be more than that who will not vote Labour. It’s just an Opinion. The turn out could be even lower than 2015. QED it would be more than 75.4 %

Pretty similar with the cunts in 2019 too. 
 

The beauty of first past the post, I suppose.

All parties are a minority. The biggest minority win. Simple

Is that not the same every election due to fptp?

[Casino]

The majority didnt vote for brexit, either

Yes. The difference this time is that a party could have a huge majority and be the most least popular by votes ever.
