Unless there’s a serious change this country is fucked at the next election. It looked like the main option was going to be reform, in which case we’re fucked, now you’ve got the new jezbollah party, in which case we’re fucked. We’re back to deciding which we want least and voting for the other. Either way we’re doomed.

Corbyn's party won't be allowed anywhere near power.

In the meantime the system of parliamentary democracy will continue to roll over normal people and work in favour of whichever corporations and wealthy individuals donated the most to their election campaigns.

Though am inclined to agree with your statement. You were the guy saying Labour would never win the last election, went on and on about it at every opportunity.

So I would stop making predictions if I was you.

People voted for “change” on the basis it couldn’t be worse than the previous government.

Of course, it is much worse and there won’t be much left by 2029.

Voting for a slogan or a single word in the absence of policies just shows how stupid the general public are.

Unfortunately the quality of the current crop of politicians (of whatever party) is extremely poor. Nobody has the courage to take hard decisions and they all pander to the status quo. It isn’t helped by the obstructive and left wing civil service.

I was genuinely surprised the Labour won. I didn't predict that so many Tories would defect to the ultra-Tories. We live and learn.

But with Corbyn. Last time he gained traction he was destroyed with a sustained and targeted campaign against him. Medialens documented it, it's an interesting read.

It's my opinion that no political party offering any meaningful change (in favour of British people) will ever be allowed in power.

I guess this problem could be readily solved by the party in government with a massive majority actually coming up with some effective policies on the economy and controlling our borders.

As it is they seem to be incompetent on the economy and impotent to control the borders.

So they spend their time pontificating about what’s going on in Gaza as though it’s 1850 and anyone cares what Britain thinks.

Not surprising that people are going to look elsewhere.

Hard decisions need to made by both sides. The left need to realise we can't keep funding the current health and benefit system the way we are.

The right also need to realise we can't keep letting the rich and powerful get away with tax loopholes and drain money out the country while enjoying its facilities.

But who will tackle both..?

Yes, but that’s already place reform at the forefront, jezbollah party is making their win a foregone conclusion. It’ll take some of labours support away, and push moderate conservatives, centrists towards reform as the alternative is frankly not an option.

I don't envy Kemi or any other Tory leader in the near future. No matter what they criticise the Labour for, people will always ask them "You were in power for more than a decade. What did you do then?"

The Tories screwed up on pretty much every promise they made. Promising to lower immigration and leaving with a record breaking immigration record isn't going to be forgotten easily by people.

So unless Reform does a major screw up, they are well on track to win the next election. It would probably need another election before people forget what the Tories did in the past. That would probably also mean a different leader who isn't attached anyway to their last stint as ruling party.

Looking forward to the next general election.

It's hard to predict what might happen at the next general election.

For Reform to win they'll need to come up with a realistic wide-ranging platform rather than focusing on just immigration. People might have strong feelings about immigration but translating that into a majority in Parliament doesn't seem realistic to me.

I was surprised by Farage saying he wanted to raise the retirement age faster than anyone else has currently planned. If he holds to that Idea he'll lose almost everybody in their early 60's as they aren't going to vote to become £12,000+ worse off.

The Tories will need to ditch Badenoch as she has no vision of the future and those on the right of the Tories are never going to vote for her party no matter how far to the right she lurches as they love Nigel. The Tories need to move back towards the centre to recover former Tories who shifted to Labour last time. I have no idea who could be a new leader capable of pulling this off though.

People on the left will vote tactically to stop Reform at all costs. Even if that means holding their noses and voting Tory in some seats. But most will vote Labour, LibDem, Green or any other vaugely left of centre candidates depending on the local polling.

My tentative prediction is an informal Labour/LibDem/Green alliance forming before the election and a formal coalition between Labour and the LibDems in the next Parliament ruling in a similar manner to the Cameron/Clegg administration.

You raise a very interesting point about the pension age. People live on state pension for twice as long as they did previously so i believe the age should rise. Either that or national insurance should go up to pay for it.

But that will be a very unpopular policy with anyone under pension age, which is most voters.

But people can’t have it both ways. Whilst you’re not withdrawing funds you’ve paid in, the amount coming out should be relative to what’s paid in. It’s not reasonable to expect to draw more out without paying more in.

i think we're heading for coalition or possibly confidence and supply of some sort.

on pension age increase it would be unworkable unless those with private pensions were also forced to carry on to retirement mandatarily and given the choice, most would rather pay a couple of pence increase in tax than go down that route.

So true.

The solution here is so simple for Labour.

They need to refocus on economic growth and stop the invasion. Then people won’t need to turn to Reform.

They won’t be able to do it.

On the economy they have too little understanding or experience of business or finance. So they just focus on the narrow tribal interests of their voter base regardless of the economic cost to the vast majority of the population.

And the idea of actually controlling the borders is anathema to them, so that won’t happen either.

I disagree. The Tories made the most of their time in power. A lot of them did very well for themselves, focussing on disaster capitalism. And a lot of Tory party donors become even more wealthy through dodgy PPE contracts etc.

Increase in homelessness

Ruined the economy for generations

Increased taxes, failing economy, increased illegal immigration, giving away strategic bases etc…

Destructive and dangerous."

Exactly, too bad there are so many on here posting that have no clue and support the current clown show.

Laws coming out in banking to go away from a cash society, enabling the government through peoples purses.

Freedom of speech taken away, as well as religion unless you are Muslim.

At this point in time England is totally becoming a country in decline and losing its identity.

"Corbyn’s new party will open the door even wider for Reform UK. I don’t necessarily think they need it, but a major split in the UK left will make it easier for Reform, with the Tories trailing in second place.

So if you want your vote to count, Vote Reform!"

By your logic, voting for Reform is not going to count, because they already have the votes. Ergo, the most consequential vote would be to vote for the party most likely to unseat Reform in any given constituency?

Not sure if you're taking this piss of the average GBNews watcher or not, but an element of the electorate actually believe this kind of rhubarb and will vote accordingly.

People need to be taught in school how to think about news and information presented to them to be able to think analytically about if it could be true, if it could be only a half truth, if it's misleading, if it's presented by an organisation that has an angle or is funded by someone with something to gain.

That's the only long term solution to people voting the country down the toilet over and over again.

Last time you had a go at me for not addressing the OP, when you yourself hadn't addressed the OP. Hypocritical behaviour. Especially as I was actually participating in the discussion.

How about knocking on the head this following me around and making childish digs and focus on the subject matter instead of going after people you don't like.

You have been going around making implications that people who don't agree with your views are just watching GB news and daily mail. You have no rights to criticise others about this.

You hadn't addressed the point, and still haven't. I merely highlighted that.

Following you around? Nonsense, I merely commented on some issues that we share an interest in.

Childish? That's your opinion and not one I share.

Going after people I don't like? Not my style Johnny boy, that's more befitting of someone who left a while ago

"This lot are worse. They are destructive and dangerous.

A testament to the power of the media.

Really?

Increased taxes, failing economy, increased illegal immigration, giving away strategic bases etc…

Destructive and dangerous.

People have short memories. Under Tory rule we had, as a couple of examples.

Austerity

Brexit

Culture wars, blaming foreigners, war on homeless people, trans people, people who eat tofu

Rise in hate crime

Billions given to their friends in covid contracts

Increased use of food banks

Increase in homelessness

Ruined the economy for generations

Etc etc.

As has been said before, how can anyone expect this mess to be fixed in such a short time.

Pretty startling shift in the Leftist narrative.

“Yes Labour is in power but don’t expect anything to improve and it’s all someone else’s fault”.

Sounds like Labour are in government but not in power. Maybe if they can’t fix anything they should resign and make way for someone who can."

Lol, student politics.
