Oltre la metà del voto del 2024 di Labour sta prendendo in considerazione la possibilità di passare a Lib Dem o Greens

I’m entirely unsurprised since over half of Labour’s 2024 vote most likely fell into the “not the Tories” category rather than traditional Labour voters. If that was their mindset, it’s also safe to assume those same voters aren’t too enthused with some of his policies since the election and will be looking elsewhere for the next round.

I voted Labour, and mostly have my entire life, I’ll be voting tactically, whatever helps keep Reform out of power.

I voted Lib Dem but I would’ve voted Labour if it was going to be closer. Going forward it’ll be whatever keeps reform out of power. Tbh I would love for a left wing party who cares about immigration but that feels like a pipe dream

Look the problem is pretty simple. Starmer got voted in because people were tired of austerity and culture wars. They wanted the change he promised.

Rather than doing anything, he has been responsable for even more cuts to social spending and has trown trans people under the bus

The Greens and Libdems exploding in popularity alongside Reform is hardly a surprise at this point

The problem with labour is that they don’t represent the actual workers any more.

You have one half of the labour party which is just the “same as usual” Tories in a different coloured tie.

You have the other half of the party that are just student activists who care more about trans and Palestine (not that we shouldn’t care about these things) than they do about British workers. Any policy is basically just “nationalise everything and have it as a state funded benefit”

We have no party (at least not one with a significant following) that is saying “higher wages and lower cost of living”.

Even Gary Stevenson (who I like BTW) is kind of missing the point by having his main goal as “tax the rich”. We tax the rich and tax the wealthy by forcing normal people’s wages up. Whose pocket does it come out of if our wages go up? The wealthy and the shareholders. So much of our welfare budget is spent on people who work. In my eyes that’s tax payer money subsidising low wages. Government hand outs aren’t for the benefit of us. They are for the benefit of employers.

I don’t see any political parties or influencers etc having wages as a primary concern but it’s the primary concern of the average Brit.

A labour party that was set up to represent workers is doing an abysmal job (including the left wing element of the party)

I think about half their voters would have preferred someone else in 2024 as well but there were… other priorities

Ah yes I definitely believe that when push comes to shove and it’s labour or reform all of those people will stick to their guns

Honestly my hope is the vote is so split no one gets absolute power. We’ve seen what that does in America right now. Coalition of all these bastards or bust.

Hey turns out you screw over the LGBTQ community to chase after racists there are consequences.. who knew!

this country is fucked and in its death throes. our current welfare state is a financial black hole (keeping it as it is suicide, and people wonder why it’s being cut in the slightest of ways by this government). we have no real investment or research, we spaffed away a decade of the lowest interest rates in history, and covid was the death blow.

no party will (or be able to) address this (pensions and housing especially) until it explodes. i don’t see a way out that doesn’t result in sovereign default and mass overhaul of our parliamentary system. Personally im trying to get myself into a position to emigrate.

Not surprised but the Greens are not the progressive party people think they are. They are NIMBYs and Conservation with a Small ‘c’

And 0% of Reforms 2025 vote is considering switching to Labour

So, for 2029, Labour votes will be split between three parties and 25% to Reform, while the right-wing unify and vote for Reform? Leftists do realize they’re shooting themselves in the foot, right?
