Their entire campaign was just pointing out how cartoonishly evil the Tories were. If they can catch Boris and hold him upside down until he drops enough coin for the NHS that'll be a start.
Except…. More people voted for Conservative and Reform combined than voted for Labour, yet we have an overwhelming Labour government. Labour won because the electoral system is not fit for purpose.
Can I ask you a question please cause I'm a little vague on this topic? Would you happen to know at all if Starmer has changed the party? It would have been helpful if he'd given this matter some air time.
@@alexhanson6577 The list is long, but let me give you a couple of items on it. The changed Labour party will give staunch support to Ukraine against Putin's imperialism and war crimes. The changed Labour party will respect the report of the Equality and Human Rights Commission on antisemitism.
@@MrHowlforever*There And have we seen more than those two parties hold power? Have we seen any party not named Labour or Conservative be named the Main Opposition? It’s a de facto 2 party system.
They haven't had a surge in popularity, they only had 1.3% more votes than last time. The problem is that the Conservative vote has crashed and gone to reform, who had a massive surge in popularity.
@@iiomqitsmorgz Not 2029. They could generally become the main opposition by then. But they are far from ready in regards to forming a government that could run a country, let's be honest.

Tories have left us the most skint we’ve been in decades. The value of the country’s debt is now equal to its gdp. Weee working literally to pay the bills.
The NHS was founded under Labour. The NHS was built on immigration through Windrush. They aren’t going to sell it. I’m pleased they will tax those who play the system. There’s too much ‘me me me’ in this country and people need to stop being so greedy.

Unlike Sunak's speech I didn't hear him state "integrity" because with Starmer it's through him like seaside destinations have their names through sticks of rock!😂
He can do worse and will. The Tory's are terrible but he is worse. People are just voting labour, as they are tired if the Tory's - that doesn't mean labour will be any better. Starmer was part of the Haldane society which had sympathies with the former soviet union. This party is very hard left.
You know thinking you can see the future and know what they will actually change before they do it makes your statement a presumption, meaning it holds no weight
Fiona Lali was right all along. Starmer's Labour government will become one of the most hated in British history. The real battle continues on the streets and on the pickets.
Change begins now? Really? REALLY??? NOTHING would make me happier, Keir. But I'll believe it when I SEE it ! And you're going to have to work fast, because not all of us have that long left to get any benefit.
@@samlynch1265😂 You don’t know Rachel Reeves then. Her favourite economist is Joan Robinson who championed Chairman Mao and also North Korea. Labour voters are fools.
@@samlynch1265give it 1 year! Labour splash cash on everything so things look better but then..... we have to pay for it! This time boy were going to pay for it!
"Don't forget how we got here"? He already has. Scotland aside, Labour's share of the vote has *reduced*. He's PM only because so many fed up tory voters went Reform in protest... they didn't vote FOR Labour, they voted AGAINST Conservative... Starmer deserves no credit for that.
Ah yes because small businesses have done so well under the tories... Brexit, destruction of the high street, increasing inequality and focus on the mega rich.
I get that everyone hates Rishi, but I am quite sure elections are fixed, Starmer has zero appeal and I don't know one single person who likes him! I really don't!
See, the problem is that elections aren't meant to be a popularity contest. You're voting for their policies, not an individual. People seem to have forgotten this over the years, which is why we've been stuck with the bleedin' Tories for so long. Historically, we've always performed better under Labour governments while Tories have been full of austerity, corruption and dare I say it "Brexit". Whether that continues with this Labour govt remains to be seen, but anything is better than the conservatives at this point. They've already done enough damage.
@@Crystan the countries not historically donr better under labour. I am curious to see how it goes this time. But usually there is a bump in people's happiness. But unfortunately that is usually short lasting because it's usually caused from reckless spending/borrowing. Every time labour has been in the country has gotten worse debt. Once the the debt gets bad enough Conservatives get back in. The tax the life out of us to pay back a small part of the debt. Neither party is worth voting for
@@Crystan historically? 😂😂😂 they've been in charge like 3 times and last time they were. They sent us to war. And bankrupted the country bailing the bankers out.
Well Kier, with Le Pen seemingly inevitably coming to power in France you might want to have a chat with Nigel and have a re-think on how you are going to stop the boats.
No, the Conservative Party elected him. They did such a terrible job and ran such a poor campaign that they practically handed him victory on a silver platter.
