In Wales, labour has been in position since 1999, our nhs is just as bad, if not, worse than England. We were promised a widened M4, after spending £48 million, labour stopped said no, there were 6 Labour councillors gave themselves a payrise behind closed doors. 6 figure sums. They were put on garden leave for 3 years, paid full pay and a contractor brought in to do their work at a higher cost. Seriously think labour are any better. Starmer can’t stick to anything and changes his mind like the wind.
You wont have friggin healthcare once Liebour open the borders up even more, you also wont have a pension or welfare and forget about affordable rents or mortgages, it will all be going to newcomers and once they form a majority in most cities you will be adhering to their culture and religion or else. Dont complain either once your taxes rise to pay for it all and inflation goes up way beyong reason. Labour are a joke.
Its not that they cant be bothered. Its that they see little in either party and understand how our democracy fails us with its two/single party system.
20% of voters were turned away from polling stations and not permitted to cast their ballot. The new voter ID law hasn't worked quite the way the Tories thought it would.

@@michaelrchYou said: "... then he (Jeremy Corbin) added 300,000 members to the party. Which Starmer then lost again." In 2019, Jeremy Corbyn led the Labour Party to its worst election defeat since 1935. It's not the number of members you recruit but the number of seats you win that matters! Jeremy Corbyn a.k.a. "Magic Grandpa" is a busted flush who allowed the Tories to win another term in office and subject the poor, the sick and the old to another round of Tory austerity.
I think the council elections are more indicative of voting intention than they have ever been. Brexit, covid and general 13 years of mismanagement have come to roost. The people are desperate for a general election. More so than they have ever been the last 13 years. When you see shifts like this in the charts, when the previous decade saw relatively little change. You know something is influencing the results. People may be so desperate to vote them out that they are resorting to local elections.
On the Spectator they are saying the last thing Conservatives voters want is stability. Makes you wonder why they are conservatives. If they don't want stability why are they voting conservative? it's hand they have two names but the Tories really need to decide which one is their actual name. Tories are rebels and conservatives are conservatives. So which is it? This is nor a trick question. Either way it doesn't make sense.

Sunak has no idea what the priorities of " ordinary " people are . As for the will of the people, that is risible .
Nobody voted for him to be P M .
This is what happens when one party focuses on stopping some boats and the other focuses on making sure we get good healthcare
In Wales, labour has been in position since 1999, our nhs is just as bad, if not, worse than England. We were promised a widened M4, after spending £48 million, labour stopped said no, there were 6 Labour councillors gave themselves a payrise behind closed doors. 6 figure sums. They were put on garden leave for 3 years, paid full pay and a contractor brought in to do their work at a higher cost. Seriously think labour are any better. Starmer can’t stick to anything and changes his mind like the wind.
At least Rishi knows what a woman is.
You wont have friggin healthcare once Liebour open the borders up even more, you also wont have a pension or welfare and forget about affordable rents or mortgages, it will all be going to newcomers and once they form a majority in most cities you will be adhering to their culture and religion or else. Dont complain either once your taxes rise to pay for it all and inflation goes up way beyong reason. Labour are a joke.
Historically, that's not a given.
The tories just (slightly) overestimated how irrational and bigoted people are.
@@dragonfly6908 A meal ticket? His husband?
Sunak going through the 5 stages of grief 😂
when you see the counts it is only hundreds and not thousands of ballot papers, no one could be bothered to vote,this is not great
Its not that they cant be bothered. Its that they see little in either party and understand how our democracy fails us with its two/single party system.
I don't think local elections are classed as important enough for some people to get of their sofa and into the voting booth.
20% of voters were turned away from polling stations and not permitted to cast their ballot. The new voter ID law hasn't worked quite the way the Tories thought it would.
Ask yourself why, then you will realise, that an awful lot of people dont really think either party are any good for the people.
i did not vote and will not vote
The question people have to ask is, after 13 years are we better off? And hoping to pick up seats in Scotland, we have long memories up here.
@Roger Melly What you have to accept is Scotland will not vote for Tories & never will, when Labour was seen dancing on stage with the Tories, it will take decades for that to be forgiven.
@Roger Melly We are now tied to Westminster by the Courts & people in our past taking their pieces of silver, so for our own self-respect, we will not vote for & have to put up with a Tory Government as we have many times before whilst Westminster still adopts first past the post, which suits both Labour & Tories, who have had 9 terms each in Government since 1945
You deft wont be better off DONT VOTE LABOUR
@@Setinmywaysalways a Coalition government between labour and Lib Dems would end first past the post.
@@rogermelly8260 Yeah you aren't going to get anywhere holding that carrot up to the Scottish people. We don't trust labour or tory ever since the lies of 2014.
We are used to the Tories. They unify us. Protestant, catholic, white, black, straight or gay. Doesn't matter. One thing is certain, we hate those tory bastards. I'm looking forward to labour showing us they are no different. Converting the Slab copium addicts to reality.
Cheered me up. Just watched BBC Question Time and a young woman in the audience made sense when she said it was better for a prospective PM to change his mandate before the General Election, rather than later it when he is elected PM. Cheers to the Labour Party. I feel hope for a better life for everyone.
SOME HOPE 😂😂
That would be true if it was just a few things. The problem is that Starmer has uturned on just about everything he promised to do if he was elected as Labour leader. Now that is a huge problem.

You said: "There's only one thing that the Tories need to do - that's to do the decent thing ..."
Modern Tories are incapable of doing the 'decent thing'; they would rather cling onto power whilst milking the system for every penny they can extract. Case in point, Tory MPs will be lining themselves up to take on lucrative directorships with companies linked to their donors.
@@lamotiengodidal6511 There are more than a few multi millionaire Labour MP's. It has been reported that Sir Kier Starmer is worth an estimated £7.7 million.
Lowest EVER turnout is because many Conservative voters like me refused to vote. The most rock solid blue rinse Tory area of my town has now got three Labour councillors because the last three local elections the Conservatives just didn't get their vote out and it is a Conservative MP in our town.
Finally the scales have fallen off- 12 years is a long time for people to be suckered.
The Fascist Tories are sounding and acting like their Fascist siblings in the American GQP.
Fascist? They’re more woke than Labour!
Yes Fascists allow thousands of foreigners into their country and treat them better than those who live here. 😅😅😅😅
If you call everyone you dislike Fascist that dilutes the meaning of Fascist.
@@CanadianMonarchist Not if everyone you call Fascist are Fascist. The GQP is 100% distilled Fascism. The Tories have outlawed peaceful protest against their regime, and they're actively attempting to outlaw the right of Unions to call strikes. The fact that a party with 35% of the popular vote has an overwhelming majority in the Houses of Parliament is also Fascist, not "first past the post"!
@@terjoe6643There are certainly Fascists in the US Republican Party, and right now they are the loudest voices. However, in the US Senate, they are a relatively small faction of the Republican Party and are unable to use that to control the narrative. It remains to be foreseen which faction can wrest control of the party from the other but one thing remains clear: the Republican Party, like the Tory Party, is a coalition of chaos.
This election draws parallels with recent elections in Australia where the conservatives were voted out by a combination of Labor, Greens, and independents. British Labour needs to seriously consider making a minority coalition government with Greens and Liberal Democrats work.
Well done everyone. You think you've made a difference, but you've just voted for the other wing of the establishment.. duped.
This is hilarious, 1000 councillors lost

Izzy true
Just when you think things COULDN'T get any worse your COMMENT comes up 👎👎😇😇
Lib Dems need to get their act together... that wasn't very well presented!
And telling people their "policies..." not focussing on just removing Sunak!
I think if there was some contrition from the Tories sometimes the public could at least say they are aware of their shortcomings. But there is no awareness or acknowledgment of where they have gone wrong.
Shouldn't celebrate, it was the lessor of two evils
Who is their right mind is still voting Tory? FFS wake up people.
They're not in their right minds. They're selfish entitled plebs✌

After a lifetime of politics, the only thing I can say for certain is, in this great country, there is so little difference between the main parties. Colours change but the ongoing sleaze eventually catches up with those who claim to be the new virtuous, hoping the public forget how bad their lot actually was when they were last in power.

@JesusisKing he has been an MP for 30 years. Starmer has been an MP for 8. And no one knew him before he became leader. Then he added 300,000 members to the party. Which Starmer then lost again.
@@michaelrchYou said: "... then he (Jeremy Corbin) added 300,000 members to the party. Which Starmer then lost again."
In 2019, Jeremy Corbyn led the Labour Party to its worst election defeat since 1935. It's not the number of members you recruit but the number of seats you win that matters!
Jeremy Corbyn a.k.a. "Magic Grandpa" is a busted flush who allowed the Tories to win another term in office and subject the poor, the sick and the old to another round of Tory austerity.
Labour or Conserv no diference
I think the council elections are more indicative of voting intention than they have ever been. Brexit, covid and general 13 years of mismanagement have come to roost.
The people are desperate for a general election. More so than they have ever been the last 13 years. When you see shifts like this in the charts, when the previous decade saw relatively little change. You know something is influencing the results.
People may be so desperate to vote them out that they are resorting to local elections.
Thanks for posting.

On the Spectator they are saying the last thing Conservatives voters want is stability. Makes you wonder why they are conservatives. If they don't want stability why are they voting conservative? it's hand they have two names but the Tories really need to decide which one is their actual name. Tories are rebels and conservatives are conservatives. So which is it?
This is nor a trick question. Either way it doesn't make sense.
