Remembering Kerry
|
After being totally demoralised in 2019 after I was involved in the then Labour campaign.
I am sorry to Corbyn supporters here but I found beyond measure on the doorsteps, that the policies were okay but people were going to vote Con or another party to keep Corbyn OUT. It may well have been unfair but that's what I got fired at me constantly and the worst happened. I never however believed there was a way back by 2024 for Labour. I firmly believed the best we could hope for was a vastly reduced overall majority for the Cons or more hopefully to remove their overall majority. There now seems to be a more than good chance Labour can win and although I'm sad and even angry that Starmer has discarded good policies in my view. I will be going all out again canvassing for Labour to get this absolute shambles of a failed list of PMs and Ministers OUT of power. IF Labour get an overall majority I'll be pleased to see the back of this despicable government. However I won't really be pleased if for 43%+of votes cast, Labour end up with an over inflated overall majority such as Johnson's Cons got in 2019. Look, for me, any result in the next election that ends up with this heartless, hard-line, endlessly deceitful government unable to form a government and therefore continue in power, will leave me extremely satisfied. It can be that IF a government, when the Country would like a clear the air election, keeps them waiting right to the end of a term or tries to. Then the voters turn more strongly away from them. As with Douglas-Home in 1964. Callaghan in 1979. Brown in 2010. It did work for Major after Thatcher but only just. The Cons majority slashed from 102 to 21 in 1992. Major was a world away as to Con politicians compared to this bunch of incompetents playing musical chairs as to both being PM and Ministers. Sunak does still have a fair bit of negative baggage from all his time as a Cabinet Minister and his manipulation of his number crunching speeches could well turn off voters more than interest them. As to Brown. For me, I'd have preferred Brown to Blair as leader actually. I think he'd have done more probably for the weakest, poorest, vulnerable, sick and disabled. None of those groups will ever have any real hope under Sunak and his current bunch of heartless hard-line incompetents. |
