@david @2legged I used the term "strong + stable" because thats whats the Conservatives campaigned on - and we got the absolute opposite. So my point was to show that relative to their tenure, things aren't as chaotic with Labour.

Labour feel like the "caretaker manager" and if Starmer goes, you'll be left with Wes Streeting or Rachel Reeves running the party to the ground instead. No way they'd let Andy Burnham in.

All a path to an early General Election to be triggered and handed to Reform.

@matt You seem to entirely miss that the abysmal betrayals by Labour and Conservatives are the fuel which created the post-2024 surge for #ReformUK, and which propel their growth.

That is demonstrable by objective fact: the poll surge for ReformUK as Labour's poll ratings have collapsed.

Farage must be thrilled with people like you who support Farage's poster-child of establishment failure.

@2legged I'm confused by your reasoning here; you seem to hate Labour but want more Labour?

The best change would have been to move to PR as an electoral system, but Starmer kicked that to the curb a few years ago: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/17/labour-divided-over-calls-to-scrap-first-past-the-post-after-landslide-win

He ignored the party members and he still got voted in. Wild. Labour are destined to destroy themselves.

I've voted Green since I've been able to vote and will continue to do so, in the UK, at least.

the Guardian

Labour divided over calls to scrap first past the post after landslide win

Leadership won’t take the risk of proportional representation but members are pushing for change

@matt Nothing complex here, not to anyone who has followed the last 6 years.

Starmer is the product of an extreme-right coup in Labour, by a plot whose goal was only to destroy the left.

They entered govt by accident due to the Tory implosion. Starmer’s ineptitude reinforces the ReformUK msg that Lab+Con are enemies of ordinary people.

Labour needs to be removed, but a better Labour leader wouldn't drive so many players to ReformUK
