@@kanedNunable What i meant was Labour supposedly underperforming in the local elections. It's much easier to get elected as a popular independent candidate in a small local ward where turnout is low, than in a large constituency with a higher turnout. The larger parties have always seemed to perform better at a national level than a local one, Many of those who voted for an independent candidate in the locals will vote for the candidate of whichever party is most likely to defeat the Tory in the general.

The trouble for me is that if you think the Tories are bad just look at wales and see the shit show that Labour have made of that.

Reform UK are tanking in the polls, they’ll be lucky to get a single MP.

She has a double mouth piercing. Do you think this is normal for an English woman?

Not my words,but the words of Rick Blackman Now that an election has been called, it’s important to get both current and historical perspective here. Other Labour Party leaders may in comparison to Starmer seem like socialists, but they were no friends of the left or the working class. The role of the Labour Party has always been to manage capitalism in a slightly more fairer way than the Tories or Liberals. Lenin in reply to a comment that the LP are the voice of the trade unions said that they were in fact the voice of the trade union bureaucracy. Indeed they have never represented the interests of the rank and file, quite the opposite. We should not romanticise that they have ever been any different. Corbyn is the aberration, not Starmer, Smith, Wilson or MacDonald. That said, the unique relationship that the LP has with the trade union movement allows us an ‘in’ that does not exist anywhere in politics, (certainly not in the Tory party) in the UK. It’s true that this ‘in’ has diminished in the last 30 years, but, and it’s a big but, it does still exist. The bigger picture dictates that we must think in terms of our class. The first and most important thing is to rid ourselves of the tories. A victory for them, however unlikely, would be a disaster from which we may possibly never recover. So that is the first priority. If people are political and on the left, it’s important to remember that many of our class are not, and do not necessarily compare and contrast the politics of Starmer to Blair to Attlee. The tories must be stopped. However, this does not mean we give carte blanche to the genocide enabling and serial liar Starmer and where independent candidates are standing we should, I believe, vote for them. There needs to be a left pressure on the Labour government. Where no left candidates exist, the discomfort we may feel voting for Starmer is incomparable to the pain of the tories winning. Vote Left, then Vote Labour. Kick the Tories out and Keep on Kicking.

Translating straight from local results to national election prediction? Is this really an expert?
