Professor Michael Thrasher
on Trevor Phillips SkyNewsHD
pointed out Starmer has to get
more than Blair did.

Labour must get 326 seats, in the next General Election.

It is a Huge number.

On Thursday Local Election it was
Labour at 7 point ahead.
They would have to Double that.

Thrasher's Numbers are also in the Sunday Times.

It is a 9% lead
34% over 25% is a 9 difference.
Not 7.
So he's wrong on that .
There were NO elections in Scotland and only Police crime commissioner ones in Wales..
So no hard data from there .

Plus in local elections, the Independent candidates take a higher share of votes than they ever do in general elections

Selective analysis of results is fine for fun.
However not always the best guide..

However hey, a hung parliament is fine by me in fact my wish for PR would only give hung parliaments.
A hung parliament would be the end of this shambolic government because there's no other party in parliament ( maybe the DUP possibly might),which would support this present Con party as a governing force.

So fine by me.

Come on Labour. Really rooting for them.
They can't be any worse than the Tories.

Sure but
Labour will not like that.

I doubt any other could be, even just as bad never mind worse, except perhaps the DUP and Reform.

However under this outdated and unrepresentative election system we have, realistically there can only be either a Con led government or Labour led government.
So the surest way to get this shower of a disaster hard-line heartless CON government out, is to vote Labour.

Where Lib Dems are the only alternative however in some seats too, it would be better voting Lib Den there to help get the Cons out too.

[bots]

i think the seats that labour would pick up in Scotland would give labour a good majority. It can't be ignored that labour will do much better there

LABOUR have had to operate in almost hung parliament or tiny majority territory many times and did.
1950 to 1951.
1964 to 1966.
1974 then right through to 1979.

They'd manage because they can compromise which is something the Cons don't.

A Labour minority supported by the Lib Dems, or even Greens if they had a few more seats.
Or even the SNP.
All that could work pretty well in my view..
A Labour/ Lib Dem coalition or pact could work too.
It did in the late 70s for a fair period of time.

[arista]

Yes Joey Sure they would have to
deal with it.

And Scotland is the key
to the Labour increase

Sunak has some audacity to warn of coalition under Labour

When his Party inflicted heartless hard-line policies in COALITION with the LibDems for a full 5 years.
They the Cons were propped up after 2017, by of all Parties the extreme DUP .

What utter hypocrisy from Sunak.
So only the Cons are allowed coalitions or support from other Parties, no other.
Their ignorance and arrogance just gets worse

Perhaps @TheGreenParty you may want to investigate your Councillor for
Gipton & Harehills seat Mohin Ali, to confirm this alleged
@X post is true.

(he deleted the account at the weekend...)

I'm not sure Carla Denyer has much idea of candidates really.
Nor the co- leader of the Greens either.
Why do they need 2 leaders???

Caroline Lucas I really admire and she is a good representative of the Greens but Carla Denyer comes across not genuine, sorry for saying that.
She comes across to me as hiding real intentions of how far she'd want to go re controlling others lives on green issues.

[I'm not sure Carla Denyer has much idea of candidates really.]


Sure but they all asked her yesterday
so by today she can say that an Extreme Muslim is wrong

So do not need her NOW

Well like all politicians of all Parties.
She's another who avoids dealing with more controversial matters.

No

By now Conservative or Labour or LibDem
would have spoken on this Extreme Muslim Winner.
