General Election - 4th July 2024

[Gabriel]

Conservatives already banging the Johnson drum.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Tories fiddling the boundaries.

 

[Gabriel]

About the same turnout as 2019, I think. Winning with 18k, 16k last time.

Lowest turnout in the last 5 elections in that constituency, I think.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I think there will be a lot of people who used to vote for labour. Those people then voted conservative because of brexit and are now voting for reform

If the prediction of old mining areas voting them in you could well be right

 

[TinFoilHat]

Tories fiddling the boundaries.

Makes a change from them fiddling with their staff.

 

[blue whippet]

Somewhere around 25% of the vote by my mental calculation. Frightening. And just over a 50% turnout, which is depressing.

Yes, so only every second person bothered to vote, how could the others not?

 

[East Level 2]

Looks like a lot of the oiks and simpletons who were conned by Brexit, and conned by Johnson, are now happy to be conned by Farage and Reform.

They don't like being called oiks. Simpletons is OK as it has too many letters for them to understand.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Reform are winning the vote from former Labour voters who turned to the Tories under Johnson. A lot of them still see it that they were betrayed on the their Brexit vote and that Farage could deliver it, or at least talks a good game.

Based on that one result:
Only if a lot have gone from Con->Lab, Lab->Ref.

Labour got 2k more than last time. The Conservative vote went to the Farage party.

Can’t believe C4 doesn’t drug test their panellists.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Reform.13% of the Sunderland vote, disturbingly high.

That's of the total electorate. Only just over 50% turnout.

 

[TinFoilHat]

"Labour will win a supermajority so might as well not bother..."

 

[TinFoilHat]

Can’t believe C4 doesn’t drug test their panellists.

I think they are supplying them to kwasi and Nads.

 

[Eccles Blue]

You tell ‘em Wes about time as well. Shut Leadsom up.
Laura not happy that her darlings are not having an easy ride. :-)

Yes I know but it is still high, of those who bothered

 

[Bodicoteblue]

Like last time under Labour ?

[Bluemoon115]

Please have Hunt fucking lose. Icing on the cake.

 

[East Level 2]

The biggest worry with Sunderland is that Sunderland has seen the smallest rise in migrants living there than anywhere else, and it was a very small number to start with.

It's near the coast so the locals might worry about some boats coming ashore.

Yeah…..but apart from that……

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Lowest turnout in the last 5 elections in that constituency, I think.

down from 57.8 to 52.1
Low turnout presumably benefits Reform??

% vote to Labour was higher though (40.7 up to 47.1). It looks like the Labour vote held up pretty well.

I think they are supplying them to kwasi and Nads.

Aren't they paid actors?
