You've made as many posts in the last week as I've made in the last month.
Says the person who has PVA as his only friend
I read it all the way through@fernandopartridge it won't let me quote you for some reason, but you should probably read the whole article where he answers that question
I read it all the way through
Ok so you decided to just post the open question, because that fits your agenda, and not the bit where he answered the question, because that doesn't fit your agenda. Fair enough.
So what’s his agenda?
It's not an agenda, it is a fact that of the seats shed by the Tories that Labour won less than half of them.That it was a piss poor election for Labour. I think that was quite obvious, even for someone with your deduction skills.

It would be interesting to know how many council seats were won in a non Labour constituency. I'm sure somebody as positive as you are would know this information and could share it?
I'm a bit scared that I seem to be moving to an area where Andrea Leadsom is the MP...

It is an agenda when you gleefully posted this bit:
"The prospects of Sunak remaining prime minister after the next election look as bleak as ever. But it remains an open question whether Keir Starmer will enjoy an overall majority in the next parliament or end up leading a minority government, and having to prepare for a second election within a year to 18 months, as Harold Wilson did after Labour’s narrow victories in 1964 and 1974."
But ignored this bit:
" Moreover, that understates Labour’s real lead. In recent years Labour has tended to do worse, and the Lib Dems better, in local than national elections. As a broad-brush estimate, we can add 5-10 points to Labour’s local election lead to obtain a rough sense of the outcome of a snap general election held on Thursday. This puts Labour 14-19 points ahead – which broadly covers the range of recent opinion polls.
These figures would give Labour a clear overall majority. "
Why haven’t you answered his question?
When your country is absolute car crash what you need to halt the decline is a leader who can carry a sword
You and the left when Labour took the lead in the polls
Or Sir Keir and Big Ed as a dream ticket - seems to do the trick for some
When your country is absolute car crash what you need to halt the decline is a leader who can carry a sword
I think they’re focusing on something else in the picture

The only party the council elections were a car crash for was the Tories. Labour could certainly have done better but it wasn’t a disaster by any measure. I think Lib Dem’s had an exceptional performance but I’m not sure that will translate to a GE performance, I don’t think they’ll necessarily worry Labour in their target seats but they definitely have the Tories worryingly looking over their shoulders. The Stratford seat must be a major test

Excellent political analysis.
Sir Korma needs a hotter curry
Poor Sir Beer
Sir Beer had better get his kilt out quick.
I’d rather circumcise myself with a chainsaw. Whoever has the best chance of keeping a Tory out between Labour, Lib Dem or Green will be who I’ll be voting for. Other than that I’ll spoil my ballot paper.I assume then it’s the Reform Party for you Tony - surely the only party you haven’t voted for in the last decade
This you?
But PVA as someone whose apparently gone to one of the top 10 universities in the UK - something very few - if any other forum member - can boast then surely we would expect far more gravitas
We are mere mortals that wait for your in depth political analysis
Why do you keep us waiting?
I think you can look at it two ways.It's not an agenda, it is a fact that of the seats shed by the Tories that Labour won less than half of them.

Local elections people are more willing to vote for smaller/minority parties as they don't think it matters as much. Give a bloody nose to the established parties.
But at the same time you can argue that when it comes to a GE people tend to go with what they know, and right-wing/older voters will tend to stick with the Tories for fear of anyone left getting in, so you could see the Tories winning more seats than expected due to that.
We don't know might happen over the next 12-18months, but if nothing massively changes I expect much of the Red Wall to go back to Labour, Scotland may be more open to the LD's and labour (maybe even Green's) given what's happening with the SNP and a number of marginals will swing away from the Tories, probably to Labour, due to the shitshow of the last few years.
So at the moment I think Labour would certainly have the most seats, and probably just enough to be in government.

No, but people are saying Penny Mordaunt for next Tory leader/PM because she gave a sword to a king.Ah, but you see, you don't vote for kings!
