@david0121234 @SaulStaniforth @UnholyTom1980 This is interesting in its own right. The population is moving more toward more sub groups. Like European elections. I think we need PR. I think this could still point at how volatile the voting can be . I . I am hypothesizing. It is going to be interesting to see play out
@francesweetman This is a very likely fracturing of the labour party. This is why this is not the main election. It is just the initial stage . Not the destination. We are heading for a new middle ground .
@JesmondDavid @francesweetman In that sense yes. I am more centre left as well. But the last 14 years. Add on the fact that anyone in for too long disappears up their own arse You get a double dosage of it
@JoKneale5 @timabrahams People know what they don’t want. Not really what they do. There will be some left-right swinging till a new center group is formed. It isn’t formed yet
@jjsmclaughlin @KomradeKlassics It will depend on how they react and regroup. I would personally prefer left of center. But if labour doesn’t listen to the population, and not activists and the media, they will not be in more than one term.
@JesmondDavid @francesweetman This election was about the removal of the Tories. Labour can’t fracture or lose connection with the population . Which is very possible. If it does then reform will get stronger. They are now in parliament. This election is about 2029
@francesweetman This is all about 2029. If they don’t keep the population happy and go to ideological there will be a swing right. It won’t be the Tories. Labour need to prevent going snp and too ideological up their own arse. Otherwise we will follow Europe
@jjsmclaughlin @KomradeKlassics No, the Tories and the last 14 years, has delivered a labour government. How labour performs,and how if the tories regroup, will influence if reform becomes the opposition. Or lib Dems for that matter
John Curtice: "Actually, but for the rise of the Labour Party in Scotland... we would be reporting that basically Labours vote has not changed from what it was in 2019"
@afneil My feelings exactly. This is a warning signal for 2029. If labour underperforms to what the public wants there is going to be a backlash. Labour and the tories will both have internal civil wars.
@michael_merrick @Fox_Claire Starmer will never meet what the people want once Tories are gone because of this. There will be a backlash and it won’t be left. We should be looking towards 2029
