The swings in this election are “utterly unprecedented” as the Conservatives are predicted to “smash through the floor of their lowest ever vote”, says pollster Lord Cooper.

All the tories have done is lie. Blame the poor. Blame the councils who they have witheld money from. Blame the junior doctors who they are unwilling to give a fair pay increase rise to. Blame migrants they let in.Blame labour who have not been in power for fourteen years. Blame the sick who are to poorly to work. Blame the war in Ukraine while big business made whopping prots from peoples financial despair.

An uncontested Labour government will be a disaster for the UK, we’ll see mass immigration taken to new levels.

Sunak isn't decent, nor does he care about the country.
Him and his ilk seem more interested in lining their own pockets than in the betterment of the country.
His lack of decency is best evidenced by his throwing, what, 250 of his colleagues under the electoral bus to save himself from a leadership challenge. That is truly sociopathic behaviour.

What do the tories expect? Whenever the UK is in trouble the first lever the tories pull is make the poor and vulnerable pay the price. Cut benefits, cut public spending, demonise the unemployed, demonise the asylum seekers, demonise the disabled. It worked for a long time but at last people are now seeing the light.
@@SlowhandGregraising VAT is a fair way to invest in our public services. The "poor" use them more so should pay for them.
@@mccoomer what a complete crock of ****.
If you want economic growth a vibrant economy you give money to poor people because the spend it.
Give it to millionaires and it ends up locked in assets and savings doing zero for the economy.
Example low corporation tax nearly all of the additional money was spent on share buy backs a complete and utter waste of tax.
Electoral Calculus have a very interesting prediction: Labour 450, Lib Dem 71, Conservative 60, SNP 23. Reform 19, Plaid 4, Green 4
It also has Rishi Sunak losing his seat in Richmond & Northallerton by 0.1%!
Interesting.
It was also conducted before Farage dropped his Putin-fanboy bombshell, and is completely out of step with all the other MRP polls, and with more recent snapshot polls, which have all been showing a noticable drop in Reform support since that incident.
But a poll conducted on behalf of GB News should be treated just the same as every other poll, with caution - and as giving a view of trends not of absolutes.
@marktrotter8971 the whole Russia thing has been overinflated.
If you listen to what he actually said the West gave Putin an excuse to his people to invade, which is true and the same thing Boris said.
The difference is that Farage will say what he thinks where other politicians say what will get them the most votes.
I expect Reform to get under 10 - Nigel Farage gets the publicity, but their candidates are fruitcakes.

Before that the two parties which had taken turns at governing were the Conservative party and Liberal party.
It would be quite possible for it to be Labour and the LibDems being the two main parties taking turns at governing in the future with the Conservatives reduced to being the third party just as the Liberals were reduced to being the third party after the 1920s.

"It's like remainers that blame Brexit Brexit for every problem"
Only in your imagination. Remainers are very realistic, that's why we are remainers. We recognise that not all problems are due to Brexit, the pandemic, the Ukraine war & etc. But we can see that Brexit has made bad situations a lot worse than they would be otherwise.
I would not be surprised to see the Lib-Dems as the opposition party....
It would be very positive. I would like a Labour-Liberal government, as a Labour supporter.
Just think of the love-in at PMQs - Sir Ed Starmer asks Sir Kier Davies a question about how a policy doing good for the country could be better implemented, rather than a confrontation about why on earth the incompetant LizRishiBoris SunakJohnsonTruss is wasting public money on some divisive dogwhistling far-right anti-wokism culture-war policy that brings no benefits to anyone - except perhaps those in the far-right hierarchy or the Kremlin.
That's what I am deeply hoping for - it will be transformational
Lib-Dems support totally open borders. How well will that go down with the rest of the country? To be a 'liberal' and a 'democrat' is a contradiction in terms. Don't we already live in a 'liberal-democracy'? Democracy has been reduced to meaninglessness, because of the 'tyranny of the majority' argument. Freedom of speech has been reduced to 'correct speech' or else you'll lose your job or be imprisoned. Liberals support absolute control of our economy by the neoliberals. So, economic democracy is non-existent. Want loads more of the same, do you? Tyrannical liberalism? I asked a liberal about this and he said 'Oh well, sometimes it's necessary'. Yeah, who for?
Sorry about the bold text.
The wealth flight would be unprecedented. Well Done.

To all those people who complain about a lack of "charisma" in our leaders: perhaps you need to reflect on what "charisma" actually is, and all those people who have had it and nothing else. A lot of people thought, and some still do, that Johnson - God help us - had "charisma".
@tommymorrison6478 Johnson was installed to sell the 'pandemic' and oh how the masses fell for it!
He did but of a narcissistic kind, and he was always dodgy and any Tory clinging onto his political resurrection as one that may cause the same to happen at the ballot box is a wotsit.
Demagogues have unlimited charisma, however, I am more interested in actions and results. The say judge people by their actions, so if I am to judge on the past years then the conservatives are a steaming pile of horse manure

No. Labours millstone was Corbyn. They could not shake off the incessant barrage of Anti Semitism slurs every day from the TV and print media and Corbyn didn't help by not standing up to them

The Tories have a new motto. "It wouldn't be appropriate to comment while the police are investigating".
Nice one. Can it be compressed into a three word slogan?
"Unprecedented swing - could easily swing back" keeps getting trotted out but largely misses the point. It's not "the swing", it's half the Tory voters abandoning the Tory party because they're too disgusted to carry on voting for them. Until that changes disappointment with Starmer will not be enough to revive them.

But how does that happen with an endless supply of Labour? You will be voting to get poorer under Labour.
It's been over a century since the Liberal Party was replaced by Labour as one of the two main parties. Not entirely impossible for the Conservatives to lose entirely and be replaced.
The Tories are the great survivors of UK politics. They are this time running close to the edge.
It’s over for them they can never win an election again with reform being there
This time, it's Alzheimers. Their thinkers have deserted them, and if the only argument is duty, they're unelectable. Many don't consider Sunak decent, after crashing the economy for a quick cash raid in 2008, and then presuming we identify with them. In a way, this call to loyalty is a form of patriotism, defined in the first dictionary as the last refuge of a scoundrel.
If tories are the opposition then they will come back in some form. If they don't come second, then their funding will collapse and they may be gone.
Probably. But it could also happen that a third party impresses the voters instead, and the Tories are relegated to the margins at the next election.
Which is why its best for Labour voters to consider Reform as they would be a good opposition unlike the Tories and the alternative is keeping the Tories around like a bad stink and them returning at the next election 2029.
Why this constant focus on two individuals? It's not a presidential election, we are voting for parties & platforms.
Time for the voting public to have their revenge!!
Spare a thought for journalists who must be running out of ways to say that the Tories are heading for a wallop the scale of which keeps looking worse and worse for them.
Excellent news. Lowest ever Tory vote - The only disappointing thing is that it wont be low enough, unless it's fewer than 50 seats.
Its only excellent news if their partners Labour were also going to be the lowest ever.
Stop the Tories dot Vote
I’m looking forward to contributing to the Tories having their worst ever defeat. They need to be taught a lesson they won’t forget that a torrent of lies, venal cruelty and off the charts corruption won’t go unpunished in an election.

Populations of voters that are the mother lode of low awareness, low education, & high xenophobic public. That is when they began to use the same tactics on both sides of the pond. Drum-up anger at immigrants, cultural wars, “others” keeping “you” in fly-over country or the Red Wall down, etc. Why do you think a significant part of the Tories are now fervent far-right wingers just like our Repubs? Even your media is following the same “socialism is evil” mantra.
Two Reform MPs? That party will be split in no time at all. It's the Nigel Farage show or no show.
Improvements in life expectancy have slowed in the UK since the early 2010s. A recent study argued there have been over 300,000 excess deaths during this period, when comparing trends in life expectancy with those from before 2011. The authors of the study argue this is a result of austerity policies pursued by the government
This needs to get more publicity.

If only Screaming Lord Such was still around to stand against the PM - there is a fighting chance he'd have got in. Not Sunak's fault though, he was always the sacrificial lamb - handed a poison chalice in the run up to the election, pre-determined by Johnson and Truss to be a monster disaster for the Tories.
All Tories are evil...end of!
They threw in the towel when they singed the agreement promising Islam things they shouldn’t have done . Then tried to hide it but we all know now
This is what happens when you do the opposite of what your voters want.
And selling out to the Whisky Echo brigade like Labour. Wait until they realise what they have let in.
A super manority is an amercican thing. You only need a majority of 1 to have all the power in the UK. More MPs give you some protection against rebels, up to a point. Wish supposed experts would stop talking about a supermajority as if its a thing in the UK. It isnt.
One, I would define it as any majority of 100 or more seats. Two, I support Labour having a very large majority. However, If a party has that amount it would take more than 80 rebel members of that party to disrupt any legislation that the party wished to pass. Since the usual number of rebels in any party -left or right - is about 30-40 members the ruling party not only does not have to worry about the opposition but it also does not have to worry about upsetting its own somewhat more ideological MPs. That can lead to some unusual legislation.
Who is this person?
Lord Cooper of Windrush. Wikipedia says it all.
Won't another election loss for the Tories be Tony Gallagher as editor of The Times? He is so out of step with the readership; post election map Times times sales to constituency colour and it overlay red and yellow. Bet there aren't many sales in Clacton.

Its time for the Tories to standdown and give Reform UK a clear run.

Voting for the Tories implies that there is at least something *to* conserve.

I reckon if they get 7 million votes, they'll be doing cartwheels. They got nearly 14 million in 2019.
Sunak would never be able to give all this tax back to people,the debt they have put us in would sort that out,its all bull
Tories do not want to vote for Sunak as his agenda is way off line. Labour are deeply unhappy with Starmer as the old Corbanista now is a pale shadow of what he really once was & is aimless. Farage is mainly Immigration focused & Davey acts like a clown. Greens take in Islamist & have lost the plot. So voting is not obvious is it?
Why are the undecided shy Tories? Undecided could be non voters?
To expand on the point about why the two major parties have a lower vote share these days, I think it was borne out of the Brexit referendum, as we all realised, that politics was no longer just a battle of Left-versus-Right, but that other parties may also have specific policies, which appealed to us, so the broad-church parties became less appealing. What should a Tory Remainer or a Labour Leaver do, and what about social values, be they liberal or conservative? Voters are asking which party understands their demographic in terms of age, social class, educational level, etc. All those factors have driven people to look beyond the battle between the two big parties, and that was much less the case before the Brexit referendum, as we all knew then that we were either right-of-centre or left-of-centre, and that was largely as far as it went!
Tossing platitudes at each other is good laugh.
