@@quintuscrinis8032 The other problem with a super majority is that it encourages the backbenchers to rebel because there are only so many ministerial jobs, party jobs, etc., that can be doled out to keep them happy. What can then happen is what has happen with the Tories - factions that are always plotting and going rogue on policy. Labour could unfortunately develop their own version of the ERG or the five families.

The Tories death spiral started when Johnson became the pm"the lies then truss nailed the coffin"then sunak buried them".

The issue Grant Shapps, or Mr Green to some of his customers, is saying is that a Labour super majority is at the expense of Tory seats. What needs to happen is a super majority for Labour, with the Lib Dems as opposition. The Tories must not be allowed to have more than 10 seats in the country.

What is absolutely critical is the Tories are destroyed so that they can never come back.

Which was naive, they should have seen Pork Chop Cameron was not popular and built upon their popularity & base voters. However, in hindsight and maybe a bit nuance view - maybe a blessing. In the time since the tories have ripped themselves apart within 15 years & chances are the Libs will be the 2nd biggest party. Who'd have thought that would happen? Well played Lib dems!

"Get your money for nothing and your Sky TV"

Could you imagine changing your vote from the party you want, to a party you don't want because a poll predicts too many others will vote the same way as you!?

The issue with very privileged leaders is that they have no idea of the consequences of their policies. Sunak was insulated from the real world of most people from a very early age and Cameron, Johnson and Osborne never knew that world in any shape or form. Sunak was the man who removed the benefits "uplift", Cameron the man who demolished much of the modern social welfare system and removed so much from schools that we now have studenst who cannot cope and cannot be supported. The problem of privilege is that you don't see - or even conceptualise - the consequences of your actions and leaders need to know that cut "x" leades to service "Y" being removed which means that child "Z" suffers and that echoes down the generations. The most unforgiveable the tories did was egtting rid of sure start as they have just entrenched poverty and hopelessness through the generatiosn. If a society is judged by how well it treats it's most vulnerable then we have failed utterly and the tories in the guise of the wealthy posh boys are the cause of this.

They hate that the working class want someone to represent them

Canibis has lots of pain management and help for childhood epilepsy its insane that its not legal as there's more western countries legalizing it now then don't.

Would Rishi Sunak have dared to leave the D-Day commemoration early if Queen Elizabeth II were still on the throne and he still had a weekly audience with her? I don't think so. But King Charles is a different story altogether. The Royal doesn't stop laughing and smiling. On the rare occasions when he's trying to appear regal and somber, he looks as if he's on the verge of breaking down into fits of high-class guffaws at any moment. He and Camilla come across like a TV comedy duo. So, of course, Rishi thought he was top dog and, on a day when he should have stayed in Normandy, chose instead to rush back to the UK for a very average TV interview with ITV.

Perhaps next time you have a pollster on you could put the poll onscreen so we could see where the parties are that don't get you clicks, at least we have Yougov I supose!

this pollster is no john curtice

Probably the implication of Sunak's D-Day absence will be seen in two weeks time.

Why no mention of the Ed Davey interview in the title?

sunak's always had next-to-no backing in the party, & his immature eagerness to try to assert himself in every photo-op situation has looked exactly that. most of the sitting tories seem largely uninterested in trying to win an election at this moment in time - although we ought to expect the hail mary, nonetheless. all of which is to say, for those seeking to frame events responsibly, i believe it's of paramount importance to avoid focusing on the ed davey without the irony of sunak & those at least seeking to make-up some numbers around him, & keep the focus on the election as the public's chance at last to remove the tories in a responsible way - otherwise boris / gameron et al will just take the party straight back. we - that is you - have to keep the focus on the inability of the tories to walk away from trump, even as he has become more & more detached from reality. the post-election tories will be the same - or worse - party of bad actors they have been exposed to be, prior to handing the stinking mess to sunak
