reporterpenguin Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 Well there’s being a sore loser, and then there’s Susan Hall. I’ve seen more classy things on the bottom of my shoe than her during Khan’s speech.

No chance. I think they would work with Labour though and could force some beneficial pro Europe concessions.

I think they’d probably be happy propping up the Tories again. Absolutely zero chance the lib dems will have enough seats to play a significant part in forming a coalition. I too though think the election is not a.foregone conclusion. Labour are absolutely woeful. They are winning votes.in the absence of any other option. There is evidence maybe in the Tees mayoral.election that the public are prepared to gather around genuine local issue MPs who genuinely has the constituency interests at heart. I'd love to see parliament shaken up with 100+ independent/green/Galloway/Alba ....and even Reform type characters plus renegade labour/tories like a Corbyn or Rory Stewart standing as independent Tory/labour candidates. 1

Sampson Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 (edited) Yeah there’s zero chance the LibDems would work with this current Tory party, Lib Dems have always been the most pro-EU and pro-immigration and supra-nationalism major party and far more aligned to Starmer’s New Labour style party than the post-Cameron Tories who are becoming increasingly nationalist, anti-immigration and anti-internationalist. Starmer is ultimately trying to portray Labour as far more of a free market party and more right wing economically than under Milliband or Corbyn so it will make them compatible enough for the LibDems I think. It’s irrelevant though. It’s a Labour majority at the GE for sure. Edited 4 May 2024 by Sampson
Daggers Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 Ooof! And the final domino tumbles with the West Mids mayor. Sunak has presided over the worst set of election returns in living memory. They have to go to the country now - emphatically crushed.

urban.spaceman Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 I am considering writing to my Tory MP again and demanding one. Might be less abusive this time.

LanguedocFox Posted 4 May 2024 Posted 4 May 2024 Can’t believe that Houchen got back in: dodgy and incompetent scumbag will leave the area owing millions that the taxpayers will have to fund

But I've been there a few times and there are huge numbers of people earning well and many straight from school. It might be a corrupt bubble but right now there is a lot going on up there. 1

The only thing that might convince them to go now is that if a ceasefire in Gaza is on the horizon, come October, Labour might gain some of the lost anti Israel voters back. Im still not sure Labour win though, a lot of my left leaning friends will be supporting the Greens or Galloway if his party stands (god knows why after his homophobic comments). I can definitely see the Tories winning by the left vote being split.
