General Election - July 2024
|
|
This appears to be the rumour on Sky.
An easy win for Starmer and some big names losing their seats.
The Country needs a change but is it going to get one?
The thought of seeing that annoying Beth Rigby for 6 weeks though is a horrifying thought.

Porsche have been developing a synthetic fuel. Clean as fuck and can be adjusted for petrol or diesel engines.

36% of a 60% turnout
Certain amount of Labour voters wouldn’t have turned out as they thought it was in the bag
Though if you were a Labour supporter & hadn’t won for so long you’d probably want to feel YOUR vote had had an effect
Some may even stayed home for Brexit & made cunts of themselves

16bn dollars?
Seems a lot of money developing something old unless they have a way of making it super efficient and super clean.

I am happy that Labour won, but the nature of the win highlights the unsatisfactory nature of the voting system. 33.7% of the vote was rewarded by 63.3% of the seats. And this on the second-lowest turnout since 1922, 59.9%.
I kind of understand why 49.1% didn't bother to vote. I have for over 45 years lived at the same address which despite boundary changes putting us into three different constituencies, my vote never once mattered as all three have been safe Tory seats and I don't vote for them. Usually I spoil my ballot but I voted this time but even so it was a wasted effort.

Labour won by a majority of 172 . How isn't that a triumph. FFS when Johnson won by a 80 it was the landslides to end all landlsides according to the Tory media . You're in denial. The scale of tactical voting was off the scale in this election . Truth is people nowadays are no longer turning conservative unlike in the past . Even in 2017 Corbyns labour were way ahead in every age scale except the over 75s change or die .

Mercedes are about to invest 16 billion into petrol and diesel engines, EV isn't the future. The demand has fallen massively.

Labour saying their manifesto pledge of reinstating the 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars, cutting vat on EV charging and rolling out EV chargers nationwide will stimulate economic growth as people buy new EVs.

Labour did not win this election rather they did not lose as badly as the Tories. Labour garnered the level of vote that would have seen a party as the opposition but our undemocratic Westminster system sees them in power with an enormous, undeserved, majority.
Labour, whether government or voter, would do well to take account of the fact that sixty five percent of the electorate did not vote for them.

Odd, isn't it? All the lefties do is focus on the Tories, which has been proven on here the last few days. They never talk about their own political party.

There's a lot of evidence that the youth are turning right ( due to Tik Tok ). Lots of evidence. The old school Tories are mostly dead in the water. The most likely turn of events is some kind of Reform/Tory bonding sesh. The image has to change and the policies have to represent the desires of all ages not wanting free loading obese cunts and replacing them with imports.

Or is it too early.

The existential threat for the Tories no one is talking about is how do they replace a large chunk of their bedrock support that will sadly pass away over the next 10 years.
This could be cataclysmic for them if and when they get this wrong.

Half the UK population don't pay tax. Half of them are fucking obese and eat ten cows a week. Most need vast NHS resources just to help the cunts walk.
Tax everybody at 10%. Ever many, woman, child and trans fucking oddball. Make everyone have a huge fucking stake in doing well, eating less cows and paying for the shit they create.

Extinction Rebellion have announced that they will do a 3 day protest at Windsor Castle next week, bunch of cunts.
I also imagine that the Junior Drs strike will be called off now and they accept the offer that the Labour party give them which will be exactly the same as the Tory party offered them.

,,,"the corporations and billionaires would be taxed appropriately "...
You haven't put a figure on "appropriate".
Would taxing at 100% anybody holding or earning wealth over 100,000 pounds in any one tax year be "appropriate"?
To make it clear, I think that anyone worth more than 100k at any moment in time (cash, property & earning expectations included) has more than enough money to live on so should immediately hand over the excess to the government for them to use "appropriately".

Hopefully we will see a revised inheritance tax assessment being raised for the woman who parcelled off billions of pounds of property to Mr Charles Saxe-Coburg & his son William recently
That would replace the nil assessment obviously
