Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 1
It seems Sunak and the Tories are sticking with the 'we have a plan' and 'let's not go back to square one' messaging.
I wonder what polling they have that shows that works? It seems bad messaging to me when they've been in power for so long. Back to Square One? From what?

Re: The traditional CF voting intentions thread, week 1
If I don't get the result I want can I demand another vote like remainers demanded after Brexit?
Genuine question.

Depends on whether this vote is based on a pack of demonstrable dogshit lies.

Yes, they're forced to have one after 5 years.

As I have said before and I'll type what I said then.
I will never vote Labour after Steptoe flipped and became a remainer.
That has NOT changed, well except I won't use Steptoe as he buggered off.

Ok granted but what are the chances of the Blair/Brown variety of Labour seeping through in to Starmer’s cabinet and policies through her?

Starmer doesn’t have the New Labour knack for presentation but I suspect he’s far better at the detail than Blair. He is a lawyer, after all. I think partly it’s hard to define what Labour is now because it is in essentially the same place as it was from the late 1990s onwards. The Corbyn brain fart was an aberration to that same basic position.
Labour’s big difficulty is that the economy in 1997 was actually fairly decent and improving whereas now it’s in a mess. Starmer won’t seem like the breath of fresh air and he can’t work any great economic miracles in the first 3 years or so.

That’s a very long winded way of saying ‘you’re right’

Absolutely, any honeymoon period won’t be a fraction of Blair’s. And I’m fully expecting many unpopular decisions and policies to be based on the premise of “we’re in this position because of the last lot” and whereas I’m sure that will be genuine some of the time, I’m certain it will be used to cover a multitude of sins as we go along.

With a big majority, I think it makes sense to make the tough decisions earlier and to get them out of the way before the next election. The Opposition will be all over the place after a heavy defeat so they should have a couple of clear years.

Isnt every election ? Seems like few keep all their promises, on either side.
