That's why the conservatives won't want an election.

Not necessarily.. they don’t HAVE to go to the people for another year or 18 months so why on Earth risk anything now ..

Agreed. I don't think Starmer is a strong leader....but people are now so sick of the Tories Labour will win by a landslide if there was election tomorrow, regardless of their leader.

The conservatives are in such a dreadful state , that the public would probably rather take their chances with a ventriloquist dummy. So of course Starmer would do well if there was a general election now .But i agree he's not a strong leader, and i'm not a fan of his .

If there was an election now, then yes. 2024? Nearly 2 years is a long time in politics. Anything could happen.

no, not anything, the economy is not going to improve, times are going to be tough. If you look at any party in power over the last 40 years, during bad economic times, they are out at the next election.

You're cheering me up bots.

I've set out to work for and campaign for a Labour win since the 2015 election.

I don't care what it may be.
Labour as easily largest party with either Lib Dem support or SNP just NOT willing to bring Labour down to risk the Cons back in.

My preference would be a comfortable 30 to 40 overall majority.

I don't really like massive landslide wins as majorities with far less than 50% of votes cast.

As I've said, I don't believe these extremely high leads for Labour plus I KNOW a lot of support is not FOR Starmer's Labour but much more against any recent or new Con leader's Cons.

It is true as you stated, a government presiding over economic problems/ chaos 2 to 3 years from an election usually gets punished whenever the next election comes.

I hope you are right and I'll be one of the first to point out you were when this lot get hopefully absolutely turfed out.
No matter the time the Cons now force the electorate to have to wait for in order to get their say on this shambolic mess.
