General Election - 4th July 2024

Even for Tories this is an impressively shameless level of pandering to the pensioner vote at the expense of the young. I suspect shortly we'll be informed that £1000 will be directly taken out of the accounts of everyone under 45 and given straight to your nearest retiree. Maybe next they'll all be given a free car.

We’ll, somebody has to pay for our elders days away as the Tories haven’t funded it, just scrambling around for anything that keeps people moving to Reform.

I was planning on voting Lib Dem but the Tory campaign is making me so angry they’re pushing me toward Labour. They have to go.

Tactical voting will be the absolute killer for the Tories.

If Labour supporters get behind Lib Dems where they are best placed to beat them and vice versa.

If that happens to a significant degree then they will be wiped out as they so richly deserve to be.

This is what we get with a mainly right wing press and media.



Stupid people taken advantage of imo. How they can believe the country would be better off under Tory I dont know. wtf

Would be funny. Especially if it ended up with the Lib Dems winning the election (or at least preventing a Labour majority). ;-)

Wow.

My brother is the same. Cant get an appointment at the hospital, cant afford stuff... Doesnt want Labour in because "they will ruin the country".

I really really hate our press.

Interesting. Apparently, this guy is a pollster with Find Out Now who publish their polling through Electoral Calculus.

He’s suggesting that the Lib Dems may be ahead of the Tories in terms of seats in their latest MRP which comes out later this week.

For a regular poll that would be easy to dismiss as “non-uniform swings make it unlikely”, but an MRP poll is basically like a constituency level analysis. Over the last 8 years or so they have been pretty much bang on, particularly YouGov who I think does the largest one.

Hope springs eternal.

I'd say that's unlikely.
Lib dems are 5th favourites with the bookies to get the most seats - behind labour, tories, reform and ukip (who I didn't even know were still around).
