General Election - July 2024

Post twoleftfeet »

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.

"So the Torys think a huge majority for Labour would be bad for democracy, they didn't think that was an issue when they got one last time."

Still waiting for my ballot paper. Guess this vote has been the straw that has finally broken the postal system altogether.

"Whoever gets in 'on the will of the people' will have their strings pulled by their major backers, their wings clipped by Whitehall/HMRC and any sense of drive snuffed out by media and social scare mongering quickly picked up and run with by a hysterical/entrenched social media addicted people who form opinions first then go in search of 'facts' to back them up. I have no hope and no passion in me and cant afford a pint of bothered."

"Starmer gets in and within 2 days the entitled lefty/minorities will be ripping him a new arse. Fair play to them - they seem to be the only faction that has learnt from (political) history's lessons, but they will absolutely fuck the country once they gain traction. Just Stop Oil will seem like musical chairs at a kindergarten Christmas...sorry... inclusive festive equinox winter-tide...party by comparison. Mainstream media won't know which way to turn: dyed-in-the-wool reds will start flapping around looking for anyone - except themselves - to blame, for what unfolds, screeching ""We didn't know, we didn't know! Nobody told us!!!"" Not my job to manage YOUR expectations, but very telling that nobody has posted up on here what they expect from THEIR party, should they win."

425 seats would be spectacular given that they only currently have 201 seats. they might turnover another 224 seats from the tories and maybe the SNP but i dont see it. I reckon they'll add somewhere between another 110 to 150 seats.

"All those MRP opinion polls can't be wrong. I'd be amazed in Labour don't win a huge majority. I reckon it'll be something like 425 Labour, 125 Conservative, 50 Lib Dem, 20 SNP, 5 Reform, and 25 Other."

"I think Starmer has done a good job in distancing himself from the Corbinesque crazies, and made them electable again. This time however I expect a coup like Livingstone at the GLA or the Bolshevics in Russia. Then the country will be fucked."

Never heard anyone be enthusiastic about Starmer being PM but imagine even the most rabid Tory might be secretly relieved that Rishi & his bumbling clowns will be heading out It’s ok to admit what an abysmal Government it has been
