Ironically Starmer should be thanking Nigel Farage for his overwhelming victory. George is right. Corbyn in 2019 won more votes than Starmer did in 2024. Corbyn had 40+% of the vote in 2019 and LOST, while Starmer had barely 34% and won 411 seats and 170 majority. Reform won the election for Starmer, by depriving the Tories of a large chunk of their votes, enabling Labour to pull ahead. Farage has now declared he will go after Labour. Reform is in second place in a lot of red wall 🧱 seats. If Starmer fails to deliver, then Reform will be in a VERY strong position next time round. For anybody who thinks that Farage is an unimaginable joke prospect for PM, I have two words : Liz Truss.

Labour are now relying on their bedrock of supporters. Those who would vote Labour no matter what. If you have voted Labour all your life, you're one of the politically ignorant, and unable to change. I have known many of these people and most don't even really know what they're voting for. In Scotland, Wales and England. There's also the fact that the Tories have been importing millions of new pro immigration Labour supporters.

More and more people stop caring about the system here, so it will die. There is no way out of it because the UK is economically broke. Only by pumping money into people's needs democracy can be maintained, we can't afford it here ... unless we take care of our tax heavens, the rich, uncollected taxes, tax breaks etc. Democracy in the UK is on the ropes, and fire sale over the last 40 years is to blame for the state of affairs.

@swojnowski453 I agree with you. Eventually, if voter numbers continue to fall, they will have to accept that something is wrong with the system and do something. Unfortunately, rather than fixing what is wrong they will probably just make voting compulsory. At the moment I don't think they are bothered. I'm sure Starmer is loving his 'landslide' win and they seem to have no problem with the fact that they won with less votes this time than they had in 2019 which they say was Labour's worst defeat because it was under Corbyn. It is funny that suddenly the people shouting for PR are the parties that have always been against it in the past

People have a right to abstain. If you don't have any confidence in any of the party options presented to you then you should not vote. Tactical voting is exactly what has created the two party state and such behaviour ultimately entropies to a two party state. This is why lib Dems and reform have gained so much traction, because they present the third "popular" option. Then a new paradigm arises. Until voters can make educated decisions and vote based on researching a party with leadership they can confide in, then I will not vote. Democracy as we have it today is not democracy, if anything a pantomime, or a disorganised rabble. Much a bastardisation of the original Athenian concept. I would have more confidence in a more elitist system, say only being allowed to vote if you can research a topic and write a single page about it would be a start. Then again the human factor always means civilised societies never work as intended. But until we stop playing children's games I won't take part in it

This was a major Labour Party figure who’d served as Secretary of State under Gordon Brown saying don’t vote Labour!

You missed the point. No one is saying you shouldn't have secure borders, but when you overinflate the blame game onto people without the power and deliberately ignore holding those in power to the fire to create cultural division, as Garage does, that is disgraceful. It's fascism. The reason there are so many issues in UK is because of austerity, not because of the people on the boats. The housing issue is due to government policy deliberately keeping stocks low (not investing in building houses) to inflate property prices through too much demand on a low resource. It's not the fault of immigrants. No GP/dentist appointments is through lack of government investment, not because there's "too many people". It's all rules by wall street. They have money for war, so it's utter horse that there's not enough money. It's a political decision not to invest so that there will be more demand for corporatization. That we've been hijacked by the USA is a bigger concern than what Garage bangs on about, but he's working for them, and it's easier to see brown people in Joe Blogg's everyday life than white men in suits F-ing up our lives from behind a computer screen.

Absolutely. The ballot box is secondary to Rupert Murdock and his cronies when it comes to choosing the government. When Laura Kuenssberg asked why the people can't be left to make up their mind, Ash Sarkar pointed out that that's not possible when the mainstream media constantly lie to the public. All information about the political choices comes through media, so not only is telling the truth important, but platforming, funding, lobbying and choice of content essential. I think it goes to prove that social media can have an impact against the oligarch owned press. I don't know if it's true, but I heard Nigel Farrage got more funding for Reform in his campaign than the Tories. It shows how well the Greens did on their limited funding, targeting 4 seats and winning all of them and coming 2nd in another 47 seats. I also noticed that Cruella was one of the few Tories to slightly increase her majority and that Reform did not put up a candidate in her constituency. Since this scheming, self serving politician has a history of cutting deals with an eye on her career and power then I smell a rotten deal in the pipeline.

far right means those who disagree with the current system and elites that hold it. Those are people who are outside of the circle, this group is growing and they will shrink the shrinking elite circle. Once they have done they will chose new elites and the cycle will repeat itself ... unless they decide to defend their spoils not in a general election but through force, then you have authoritarianism. The thing is that among those who have been disfranchised are many who would like to be the last leader chosen by people, they are Trumps, Putins, Xis, Orbans or our age ...

No, it's liberalism which is nearly always anti worker.

Liberals and progressives claim to care about workers, they don't. The neocons and neolibs serve the Oligharch class and play the 'divide and conquer' game to split the population with all their identity and culture wars. Neither care about ordinary people.

By Corbyn creating his own political party and making it a policy.

The lib Dems tried, but settled for a referendum on a watered down version that would only have stood in the way of PR, and not enough other parties got behind them in support of PR. I think it would be different now. The mask has slipped and everyone can see the true face behind the two main parties. Even the idiots who have been in denial for decades.

They also can't fund party campaigns like they do, and their advertising campaigns won't work. If you have a booklet to choose your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd preferred policies on each issue, then the party or candidates in your constituency will be elected based on those policies and not gutter press. The policies should be legally binding, not sound bits to propagandise people with.

There was a website in 2015/2017 were you could vote on policies to find out who to vote for but wouldn't it make more sense that people just vote for policies and then the most popular party policies win? And if a policy from another party was more popular eg Nationisation of public services fully, the party with the most popular policies would be legally obligated to implement and work with the party who's policy it is as a cross party policy. That would be imo more representative and democratic as people would be directly voting on the policies themselves (a form of direct democracy) and not a person or political party based on propaganda or misinformation as the case currently is with many. It's like saying, "Would you like to continue spending £12,000 per minute on wars or invest that more in our public services" 🤔. The majority would support funding our public services and not spending that money on wars, which we have caused. People would vote for peace.

We can't trust the government to do that, or BBC, etc. So we need something to help inform people of Government policies, geopolitical policies, international agreements, international law, official statements, interviews given on policies (Russia/Ukraine would be a good example on the lies being told and the provocations over the last 30+ year's leading up to current day events). We need grassroots campaigns, media platforms (Rumble, KZbin, Website) utilising all our independent journalists, and investigating journalists (declassified, Double Down, Moats, Morning Star,etc) and social media platforms. Governments and some political party's try to create consent and sow division. We need to have a system or platform to stop that asap. We're stronger united than divided.

@@JaggersLips Because they blame all problems on immigrants. People without jobs or in insecured gig jobs? Not employers' fault, blame the immigrants. NHS's long waiting line? Nothing to do with an old, out-dated system and underpaid doctors/nurses, blame the immigrants. Rents are high? Professional landlords and big companies buying up all housing ain't the problem! It's those pesky refugees who are to blame. Reform wants only essential worker as immigrants (1st point in their Immigration section in their manifesto) even though this has been the case for over a decade now. They want to stop health tourism (6th point in their immigration section) even though people who haven't lived in the UK long enough or people who don't have a valid EU insurance card already have to pay for healthcare since 2017. And in reality, it is the British people who are the health tourists in Europe due to the long NHS waiting line. Every thing they say or promise breaks down once you look at it. Their voters never look at any of it though. They just eat it up

@@jay64j A society can’t give what it doesn’t have … for a welfare state to work, it must have money. If the state is funded by a few and used by an unlimited number it will fail, it is a matter of time. That is what is happening with open borders and the numbers coming into the UK. First we need to close the boarders (net zero) and stimulate the economy, pay off some debt, get people working and put some money back in the welfare state’s coffers. There is no point in talking about financial entitlement when the cupboard is bare. Reform UK and all thinking people understand this reality.

@@JACB006 are you aware of how much wealth a very few have? Do you think they have worked for it? Who do you think does work for it? And then compare that to the amount that is spent on immigrant support. The difference in that may be better being measured in light years rather than miles. Farage and those backing him are just as much part of an establishment as Sunak, Rees Mogg, and Johnson.

Why does it have to be *either* immigration or capitalism that causes things like unaffordable housing etc. It's clearly both. You can't have 600k net immigration per year and not expect it to cause a housing shortage, which then opportunistic landlords will exploit for profit.

90% of social housing was sold off after Thatcher's right to buy at one third of market value. Most then sold after the three year clause for quick profit and the houses went to private landlords, councils were not allowed to use the funds to build more social housing. There's your housing crisis right there, nothing to do with mass immigration. The dream of owning your own home is a fantasy, you will die but your house won't and it will become yet another mortgage for the banks to profit from. What's needed is social housing that's rent free after 30 years of living there to build back the communities that were destroyed after 'right to buy' because that's a major part of why 'right to buy' was initiated by the tories in the first place, to make the working class afraid to lose their homes so they buckle under bad management and don't take industrial action when their wages are cut year after year.
