@mjamesevans@electionmapsuk Getting 30% in a local election doesn’t mean they’ll get 30% at the National level.
If that was the case I could point to elections where Conservatives have had 60%+ and in the same light suggest that we’d be on course for that result at a GE…
@mjamesevans@electionmapsuk Local Electiona are not litmus tests for the national government though, people will vote for a party or a candidate for any number of reasons and will not necessarily vote the same way A) at the General Election or B) in 2, 3 or 6 months time.
@mjamesevans@electionmapsuk Labour won’t win on the numbers currently projected, interestingly by contrast to last year, neither will Reform.
A vote for any other party is a vote for Labour, if there’s a General Election and you want Labour out, there’s only one option:
Vote Conservative!
@mjamesevans@electionmapsuk Sounds like excuses and complaining.
Prove me wrong but I’d bet you weren’t saying this when it was Reform costing Conservatives victories were you?
@mjamesevans@electionmapsuk Not a fan of last weeks results are we? How about the week before?
If Reform are “so popular” then why are they third in basically all polls?
@peterhcampbell@WillCalverleyUK@Conservatives Local by-elections aren’t a sample of how people feel nationally, many people will vote differently locally from at the General Election.
Most can understand there are key differences.
Also those 3 wins will more than likely be back up in 6 months from resignation or scandal.
