Default If there was an election tomorrow, would Labour win?

GB News ran a poll

61,000 replies


Spoiler:

91% no - 9% yes




Did that surprise you?

Would it surprise anyone that the audience for a dedicated right wing news show, doesn’t support Labour?

labour are a mess, and no matter how much the press and opposition parties feign self righteous indignation, the public don't give a crap. The tories would win easily. I can't stand Boris, i'm just a realist

Lol no they're nowhere near to being a contender.

Tories will win for the foreseeable and the reason can be summed up thus;

Labour have been left in a pretty rough position by their loss in 2019. Even losing but still (re)gaining a bunch of seats would be a massive achievement.

Not if they can convince the SNP to go into coalition. SNP are generally against that though.

They need to concentrate on winning back the seats they’ve lost in England.

Eh. I'm sure someone in the party can deal with numbers bigger than ten without taking their socks off to help them count - notice a certain couple of Labour MPs haven't been made to have embarrassing interviews since the leadership changed. That clip was from ~2017, and has little to do with Labour's current problems.

Honestly, Boris Johnson could mishandle billions of pounds, **** up Brexit and accidentally kill 142k people and still win

Oh wait

What exactly is the point of a vote ? when there is no one to vote for , i think many are left in limbo with no one who we have the slightest bit of confidence in.

If you use a Electoral Calculator like at https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html Labour would need to reverse the national percentages of the last election to gain a narrow majority. eg. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/...ary=2019nbbase Difficult but not impossible.

More likely would be some sort hung parliament where they might be able to do a deal with other parties.

If it is a Twitter poll, then it is is self-selecting and not a reliable reflection of the country.

Just because 91% voted no they wouldn't win, doesn't mean that those 91% that voted that way are Tory voters.

I can tell that the Tories will win the next election and I would only vote for them under really extreme circumstances.

Well he has in fairness.

Food shortages because of a poor Brexit deal.

Extra people dying because of handling the Pandemic in the worst ways possible.

The money situation tbf has been a problem for awhile in this country now, I can probably meet you halfway on that one as Cameron I think started the rot.

Yes David Cameron was Great
he Gave me
and others Legit Brexit.



But then towards the last few months
he is ended as a Greedy Stinking Cad,



All that Cash he made, and got away with it,
as the Corruption in the Steel Industry around him

Very true - I imagine even the most hardcore Labour supporters, if they have any clue about politics, know that Labour would not win an election if one was held right now.
