They are indeed.
There are a great many who would rebel on the Labour backbenchers and I do hope they will.
However with a massive overall majority of around 165+
It's unlikely they'd be beaten in a vote in parliament.
I never supported or liked these large overall majorities.
Even moreso on Parties only getting anything from mid 30s to low 40s of actual votes.
Absolutely it's not necessarily votes that decide the government but who wins the most seats
It is why I still firmly believe in only PR for elections.
To end this in my view, gross misrepresentation of votes versus seats.
This electoral system more fails the UK as to governance now.
Ironically even if the current polling is anywhere right.
An election under first past the post would still mean a likely Labour led government in a probable coalition with the LibDems.
Under this first past the post failing system.
Because every other Party in parliament, except for perhaps 40% of the Cons; would want to ensure Reform are NEVER in any kind of power.
I personally don't oppose some reduction in civil servants at all.
However I'm so disillusioned and infuriated right now because of the more callous way the policies are even being presented, never mind the extent of them too.
I most certainly did NOT canvass for this.
So they really will need to have turned many things around in 3 to 4 years and make sure they do.
Not just sit and hope for a bad start, good finish scenario.
It certainly looks like my dream of PR in elections is off the table for possibly decades.
Because I could now see possibly a truce scenario between most of the Cons and Labour even to ensure Reform are kept out.
Like the scenario in Germany.
Plus in the Republic of Ireland where 2 political enemies join together in shared government to keep out Sinn Fein.
