"Not convinced she has the charisma to win over voters in four and years time. " Starmer won a huge majority despite being a stranger to any trace of charisma or character. If Labour carries on as they've begun they'll soon be the most unpopular governing party in recent history and the Tories will win by default. | |||

The length of Labour Governments historically has been: 4 years, 5 years, 6 years, 5 years, and then 13 for Blair/Brown. | |||

Dog whistle politics is all the right wing have." "Once NHS waiting lists start to come down" That is one hell of an assumption or wishful thinking on a biblical scale. Starmer will chuck a fortune at the NHS and very little if anything will change. So if the wait for a hip operation comes down by a few weeks or instead of 12 hours in A&E it comes down to 10, do you really think anyone will notice? The bulk of any new money will get swallowed up in pay rises and waste. The NHS needs root and branch reform but Starmers union paymasters will not allow that. The status quo is far too comfy for them. As for the Tory's. This leader, that leader or uncle Tom Cobleys leader won't make a jot of difference until they sort out the Reform party problem. A split vote will always be a loser. | |||

"Fuck the tories this ![]() ![]() ![]() You may have missed my comment: "or other extremely high individual donations". If they're not able to donate more than the membership fee or more than the cost of a slice of cake. Doesn't matter how wealthy they are. I don't really know what point you're trying to make, that the political parties shouldn't, or wouldn't ever work in our interests? | |||

Conservative governments have lead government 66- 33% labour. What rends to happen is labour go down the same rabbit holes and the tories look solid again. The rabbit holes are appearing already, I was convinced it would be a 2 term labour government until they took office and the budget was announced. If the tories had a more centre leaning leader they could make it a 1 term labour government, Kemi is not going to lead the conservatives to that position, they’ve put all their eggs in the win back the right of the party basket. That could be a labour win and 2nd term. The country vote for a stable centre. | |||

"No, I'm not suggesting that taxes fund political parties. I'm suggesting that corporate sponsorship, or other extremely high individual donations shouldn't be allowed. Would you be classing the various unions as 'extremely high individual donators'? That’s where it gets complicated. Yes the union donates as a block but they consist of individual members. Wealthy individuals or corporations not so much. It could get complicated but if I understand the proposal, the members could not donate anymore than the membership fee which would be the same for all members. I'm not sure if that would end up more or less than the union's currently give. It's the same rule to restrict wealthy Tories donating huge sums Or it might encourage the Conservatives to want to represent the interests of ordinary working people. Only rich people vote Tory? No, there's the 'working class Tory' phenomenon. That’s the laziest stereotype in this country. There aren’t enough rich people for them to ever get in government Indeed. But ther is enough money to get them in government. And the "them" is whomever best represents the interests of the "rich people". It is far more nuanced than that…. Conservative governments have lead government 66- 33% labour. What rends to happen is labour go down the same rabbit holes and the tories look solid again. The rabbit holes are appearing already, I was convinced it would be a 2 term labour government until they took office and the budget was announced. If the tories had a more centre leaning leader they could make it a 1 term labour government, Kemi is not going to lead the conservatives to that position, they’ve put all their eggs in the win back the right of the party basket. That could be a labour win and 2nd term. The country vote for a stable centre. " I don't disagree with the content of your post. But I'm not sure how it relates to what I said? | |||

It never comes down to rich people, because rich people can ands will always ride the wave out. This country sides on conservatism because it offers more centre led policies compared to labour. Meaning it is the general public, the people who work, the cleaner the banker the whoever, it is not rich people who decide the government.

Money, and the power that goes with it, has always had a significant influence in politics, and always will. It’s pretty pointless trying to imagine something different. | |||

I was interested to see if I had understood your proposal correctly in reference to funding. Personally I want a government to govern for all as opposed to particular groups I'd like them to represent the interests of British people, instead of whomever donated the most to the election campaign." Yes you mentioned that and I agree, assuming you mean the British people as a whole | |||

"Mark Francois Shadow Defence Secretary. ![]() A shadow cabinet that was resoundingly rejected by the electorate. Maybe the Tories could learn from Labour mistakes. When you lose it’s doesn’t mean the people think you weren’t left or right wing enough. | |||
