    For Rees Mogg to say they should bring back Boris Johnson conclusively demonstrates that he's learnt nothing - absolutely nothing at all. Shameless and grasping to the last, like some hideous Dickensian caricature. He, Johnson and the rest of them have done immense harm to this country.

    WE need to stop expecting that the electorate needs to love parliamentary parties. We aren't marrying them. Their job is to govern us, to think about us and what we need to live our best lives and to flourish. There's been too much time spent where the people are stagnating while the govt fights with itself and leaves the country drifting into decline.

      I agree with this. It also leads to a feeble mindset among politicians. For example with Sunak and his Rwanda plan, trying to do something completely impractical purely for appearances without any real impact on people's lives, and because he thought it would be what his voter base would want. You don't have to be loved by the people just better at the job than the other option.

      To all who disagree that we need governing and want representation instead. Frankly none of these mps are representative of me, and most likely not of the voting majority. 'Representation' is appropriate but governing is what is needed, people who take decisions for all, not simply those they represent. It's a different and subtle concept distinction, the absence of which is what has led to drift. And yes I do believe in representative government emphasis on the last word.

    It's really quite simple. Labour have got 5 years before they have to worry about another election. In that time, they have to make people believe that things that they care about are improving. If the cost-of-living crisis has ceased, NHS waiting lists have significantly shortened and the public sector strikes have ended, then they will have a very good chance of being re-elected. If not, then they are going to face a populist backlash.

      71 percent turnout in 1997 versus 60 today. Competing with the LibDems in 1997 versus coordinating with them in this election and effectively withdrawing from seats where the LibDem candidate was more competitive. Both those things reduce the vote count, by a lot. Probably more instructive to add up centre-left and right votes and see how they tot up percentage wise, and in the coming days to analyze opening polling on things like policy issues, not just party preference. To me it looks like a very strong performance for the centre left compared to 2005 through 2019, but not as much of one as 1997 or 2001.

    Starmers majority looks big but it is on extremely shallow ground. Very low vote share. Majorities in "safe seats" slashed to 3 digits in many cases and now he has to clash with reality. He has hidden over the last 4 years from actually saying what he will do but has promised change. But no change indicated by his actions. Now he has to actually do something and the public clearly don't like him so he better get it right straight away as he has no honeymoon period to hade from the voters in.

      @@TH-cammessedupmyhandle It's not really a meaningful comparison, only superficially so. There are a finite number of points a team can win in a season and all teams must play each other twice, therefore all teams will face the same relative challenge and "first past the post" actually works as a fair system in determing a winner. The other teams in the league may be relatively stronger or weaker in any given season, therefore the points needed to win the league may be higher or lower, however all teams will still play each other twice and thus face at least on paper the same challenge.
      Politics is not Party A vs Party B fixtures every week and add up the points, it is a simple measure of how much support a party has and therefore popular vote is a more relevant measure of performance than points in football. For example in politics different parties do deals with each other, such as Brexit/Tories in 2019 and Labour/Lib Dems in 2024, to influence the seat outcomes; they cannot however influence popular vote as much in this way. That kind of deal would never or almost never happen in football and definitely not in a league system, only maybe in some tournament competitions.
      So your comparison is not actually very meaningful.

      This was the result of an intentional strategy though, Labour intentionally did next to no campaigning for safe seats and spent all their time campaigning for seats that they were close to taking. This resulted in low voter turnout in many constituencies where they could've gotten a lot of extra Labour votes, but they were not trying to win the popular vote they were trying to win the election. In the end it is impossible to discount the effects of the first-past-the-post system from the popular vote, it is influenced by both campaign strategy and by tactical voting.

      You’re not reading how this campaign went. Labour trusted its safe seats to be adults and turn out to vote for them on their own, while they hit the betrayed Tory constituencies with everything they had. Meanwhile the Tories kept taking big expensive swings at Labour on a national level and hitting thin air. Labour (and Reform) hit the Tories at a mainly local level, they didn’t recognise this until about half-way into the campaign and their panicked response was to abandon the marginal seats to protect the Cabinet. Labour took about 200 more seats in this way. The UK does not have PR voting, % vote share (and vote volume) is a trend indicator and it never conveys a real political mandate.
