Whilst its clear people have lost faith in all politicians , it's labour that will come off worse as people turn against them ..
The only good thing is all parties will have to reconnect with the electorate if they want the votes.
And the times of weighing in safe seats are very nearly thankfully gone.
We are in a position now where people have lost faith in the Govt
But also lost faith in the major opposition
This will result in people voting for smaller parties which will take labour votes
Or not voting at all , again mainly labour voters
Now do you we all agree labour won't get in for 5
General elections ?
I'm not sure whether you're asking me or seeking general consensus in your final paragraph, Keith. If it's the former, then the answer is an emphatic 'no'. Quite apart from the demonstrable chutzpah of anyone believing the can predict the outcome of 20 years of future politics, my personal view is that this government's incompetence and blatant corruption in the handling of Covid-19 and the looming economic disaster that is Brexit will inevitably reduce their majority in 2024.
Whatever personal beef you may have against Labour locally doesn't alter the fact that they have a strong and charismatic leader who has already shown that he is more than a match for Johnson's buffoonery. Where all that will leave us, I don't know. If you believe you can predict with such certainty then maybe becoming one of Cummings' 'superforecasters' is the way to go. Either that or you can do my lottery selections for me.
