The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 4
 
Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends and jolly good company … :D

So, you know the drill by now. Continue election-related discussion here, vote again in our fresh poll, and let’s see how the campaign is shaping voting intentions in the fictional constituency of Cable Forum Central.

For reference, weeks 1-3 polls are here:

Week 1: https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...php?t=33712705

Week 2: https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...php?t=33712720

Week 3: https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...php?t=33712736

Labour and Plaid both published their manifestos today. Anyone got any thoughts about that … ?

l thought The Labour manifesto was sober and safe which given they have a huge polling lead is not surprising.

After many years of terrible Conservative governance what voters don't want are political parties who have totally forgotten how to govern for the whole country rather then just governing for themselves and their own vested interests.

On the Sky News leaders debate last night one member of the audience accused Keir Starmer of being like a robot. I have to say I quite like the idea of having some boring politicians for a while. We don’t need clowns, contrarians or cocksure banksters. Just a considered, steady hand. Please!

Yeah l watched that last night and l echo the same sentiments as yourself as looking back at some political history many thought the same of Clement Attlee in many saw him as a very boring politician.

But given the very grave state this country was in after WW2 he did a pretty good job.

A robot would be a vast improvement over what we've had for 14 years. People are too obsessed with personality, this isn't celebrity x factor come dancing on ice... Otherwise you end up with ******s like Boris.

Like any job, competency should be the main issue.

No way people get into the booth and vote in those numbers for them.

You heard it here first … have a look how Reform has jumped in our own poll from the first fortnight up to the end of last week. :D

Pundits have been predicting there was bound to be a poll putting Ref ahead of Con sooner or later. The interesting question now is where that vote is likely to fall - is it evenly spread, or is it efficiently concentrated in winnable seats?

I blame our ageing increasingly demented population. The Tories may regret running down mental healthcare. Whether they can make their way out of the home, with their id, to a polling station remains to be seen....

A certain David Cameron I believe held a similar position to yours a few years ago, and look where that ended

Who sets the budget for Wales? Not Labour.

If I were Celtic, I'd kick the invading Anglo Saxons (aka English) out of the UK. Take your country back, its the in thing to do ;)

I'm OK, I have Welsh parents :)
