I'll watch it even though as usual it will be robotic and stage managed to as near perfection of not a thing going wrong or allowed to.

Although we did get entertained once with Theresa Mays coughing performance all through her speech.


I think all these conferences from political Parties should have a day where the general public, no selection, were allowed to be in, not the party members.

Watching the heckling of Starmer, that's how Politics was at elections.
With regular heckling testing the quality of would be MPs.

It would remove the starch from this usual outing of programmed individuals.
Something you don't get from Labour.
Where anything can happen.
So much more interesting.

I even thought that when I was more a Con supporter too.

He's right.
I am under no illusion that Labour can win the next election outright.

However even a small Con lead would see the Cons overall majority disappear.
It can be very likely that a hung parliament can result next time round.

If Labour can get neck and neck, then it's likely Labour could be the largest Party.

That in my view is the best Labour can hope for and it would mean disaster for the Cons.
As every other party in parliament now except for the DUP, would NOT help the Cons back into power, if it was possible to outvote them.

If Labour and the SNP were to have enough seats to secure overall status together in the Commons.
Then either agreed support or a coalition could be in place.

Labour then needs to get to be around 4% behind the Cons to start to remove the overall majority.
Anything closer than that or Labour with any lead, would see the Cons out.

That is the best to hope for as to Labour.
UNLESS voters really take on board the solid fact.

In this stupid outdated electoral system.
If the majority of voters who go to vote, DON'T WANT a Con government returned.
Then the ONLY way to ensure that is to vote Labour.

If they go to vote for any other Party, all they do is split the anti Con vote.
Then allow the Cons in again with an overall majority as in 2019.

Even with 56% of voters, voting AGAINST the Cons as was the case in 2019.
Unbelievable..

That is the very sad and hard fact of the electoral system we have that actually negates the majority of votes cast in elections, rather than serves the voters.
If the majority of voters DON'T want Johnson and the Cons returned in the next election, they need to vote Labour.

In Scotland, it's immaterial, as the SNP taking near all the seats there, they'd ensure with all their might, for the Cons to be out of power.

Yes it could come down to that.

I think that's a kind of insult to pigs actually.
They're nicer beings by far.

Well yeah.

Thanks to the 2019 loss, even losing by a few seats is a massive hill to climb...

At least from the Reform party it seems there's more genuine compassion a little more, than the lip service just handed out from the Cons.

The problem really being, anything Johnson says cannot be trusted or believed.
Never really knowing, what he means, what he thinks or what he really intends to do either.

Just words, empty words.
Yet most of the media and around 38% to 40% of those who vote too fall for it.

The 55% + who don't trust or believe him, really need to think hard on ensuring they get him out.
That doesn't happen if the opposition votes to him are split..
All you get is him back with an overall majority.

I think Boris is genuinely concerned about many things, it's just that many of them are near impossible to fix

Also, there are plenty decent conservatives just like there are plenty decent labour members. The worst in each party are equally bad

I agree partly.

I know of a great many caring compassionate Cons.
As with their MPs.

However to date, no Labour or other parties MPs except for the Lib Dems in coalition.
Have voted in power to add greater intense stress and humiliating testing of the sick and disabled, even terminally ill cancer patients.
Only Cons and Lib Dems have.
Over the past 11 years under 3 different Con PMs too.
Still in place those heartless policies too.
Only now, ONLY with the support of Cons in parliament.
Plus Con voters who put them into parliament.

To me that's unforgivable.
