There is rather a lot to fix after 14 years of total mismanagement.I have no trust in any of them. The next Government will spend years trying to undo the previous doings and so the cycle repeats.
144 MPs with seats before the 2019 election went to Oxford or Cambridge
58% of those were Conservative MPs 33% of those were Labour MPs 0% of those were SNP MPs 2% of those were Lib Dem MPs
123 MPs who won seats in the 2019 election went to Oxford or Cambridge
70% of those were Conservative MPs 28% of those were Labour MPs 0% of those were SNP MPs 2% of those were Lib Dem MPs
Tbh I will probably go Labour but it will be a vote with zero confidence. If they get in it will be 4 years of blaming the Tories , rinse and repeat.Does that mean you are not voting or are voting Tory?
Why would they drop a plan that the majority of their current voters support and could see them attract new voters to the party in the future?Personally I want the Greens to drop their rejoin plans
Most rejoiners won't vote a left wing party anyway. Seems to me the rejoiners hate Socialists, Owen Jones, The Greens, Corbyn etc etc
You're just a bunch of shy Tories really
I was a Labour Party member, voted for Corbyn as leader, and have voted Labour at every general, local and European election since 1979. Other than that, uncannily accurate assessment.Personally I want the Greens to drop their rejoin plans

Strange poster.What a strange opinion.

Their plan isn't to immediately rejoin anyway, but start with rejoining the Customs Union.
Wasn't it just a one year Postgraduate course, having got his degree from Leeds? Hardly embedded in 'the establishment'.Just the leader of the party.
Hopefully you'll agree with Carla then.Their members do decide and the likes of Caroline Lucas is leaving who at times seemed more concerned with Brexit than other issues. Personally I'm glad to see her retire.
People like Zach Polanski and Carla Denyer are brilliant new talent for the party.
Personally I’ve got more beef with Old Etonians than Oxbridge. Literally 50% (or close to) of allWasn't it just a one year Postgraduate course, having got his degree from Leeds? Hardly embedded in 'the establishment'.
I haven't lived on Teesside for 30 yearsOK but are you registered to Vote in Brighton & Hove City or is your registration still with your old Teesside locality?
when my kids went off to further their education they kept their General Election registration for home - but used their new address to vote in local elections where they were living - but you do have to get the registrations right - this current bunch of right wing tory fascist's are only too happy to not let you vote at all
Your Brighton based, then you could be any of 3 constituencies - Kemp Town, Pavilion or Hove.
you already have two LP MP's and a Green in Brighton & Hove City.
have the LP selected their candidate for Pavilion yet (currently a green seat) ?
would you vote Labour regardless of who they stand against the Green - Caroline Lucas is stepping down, but she has been by far the best socialist MP in the city and will be a great loss
you will know that both the MP for Kemp Town and the MP for Hove will be restanding for Labour.
You are using thought and logic, sadly huge swathes of the Teesside public in recent elections have failed to do this, and have fallen for the scums nonsensical rhetoric and propaganda.To me its more interesting looking at what will likely happen. Teesside is an interesting political area, because all the seats are either very working class constitinuencies or 60%ish working class. So they should be Labour or close to Labour seats. Its mainly urban/suburban, but that probably reflects the UK, particularly England.
My 2024 prediction
Hartlepool - Labour
Stockton North - Labour
Stockton South - Labour (just)
Middlesbrough Central - Labour
Redcar - Labour
East Cleveland/SE Middlesbrough - Conservative (just)
4 of the above 6 seats are nearly always Labour
Under Blair all 6 seats I think were Labour
My prediction would leave 3 Labour gains and 3 Conservative loses.
In 2019 Brexit was a dominant theme in the voting and it will not be in 2024. would say there will be more voting for whats in someones economic interest than emotional issues. People who rely on the NHS and State Education and other Public services have all struggled in recent years. They have seen higher rates of tax cut, but bottom rates increased. It will be intersting to see if the under 40s vaote much. They haven't much in rent votes and they have paid the price, I wonder if the penny has dropped yet?
On Teesside I would say the Corbyn effect lost Labour votes in 2019. Alot of ex forces working class people would not vote for Corbyn, but vote for Starmer. There are a lot of ex-forces on Teesside.There also alot of Teessiders voters who are quite conservative politcally, with a small c and are not that interested in international politics, compared with say London voters.
Did his degree at Leeds, hardly the same as the Tory Eton brigadeJust the leader of the party.
I never said he was, he still would be classed as Oxbridge.Wasn't it just a one year Postgraduate course, having got his degree from Leeds? Hardly embedded in 'the establishment'.
