You gov polling

[Rjk]

latest polling doesn't make for very pretty reading for the conservatives -

if you look at the responses for under 50s only it is as follows:


Lab 60%
Con 10%
Green 10%
LD 9%
Reform 5%
SNP 3%

they could be facing a long time out of office

One can only hope but the signs are most encouraging.

It's significant that the younger generation is generally far better educated that the older ones and that has been a factor in the dramatic decline of religion consistently over the years. I suspect ultimately it will also prove to be the nemesis of the Tory party too.

Education helps one to see hypocrisy more clearly.

I'm not sure what's worse. That poll for the Tories, or your analysis above!

The Tories have contributed plenty to their own demise over the last few years - Partygate, Truss, economy, need I go on? I think that has to be the biggest factor. The deep divisions within the party don’t help either.

Oh I can help you with that one Jim.

What's worse for you is the long awaited demise of your beloved Tories. I can feel your deep angst and bitterness.

Re: You gov polling

I’ve yet to decide who to vote for in the next GE , but can anyone explain how Labour are going to implement policies that will help make a difference.

The way Wales in run doesn’t fill me with confidence, so the Big Hitting Labour Party supporters on here offer some insight on how to get my vote

I disagree with you a lot on here but you're right in my opinion on this. I just can't see how Starmer is going to help the average person.

I won't be voting Labour.

I agree with your sentiment but I'm not sure I like the words 'better educated' and would substitute them for 'socially tolerant'. I think the dramatic decline in religion should probably read 'Christianity' but one thing's for sure, Gen Z are the future, and pretty much all views by the majority on this board and 50+ will be moot and redundant over the next decade. This article is referring to USA Gen Zs https://www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...icans-politics but I've recently been working on a marketing project re. Gen Z and most on this forum would be apoplectic when reading their views. This article is a good one for the older gens to get to grips with just where the future is going. Labour, Cons, and all the political parties at the moment are way out of touch and it's quite frankly disgusting just how much they disregard young adults.

This is quite possibly the first time I won't vote in a GE. I've been done with party politics for quite some time now.

Not only that, but I've also yet to see any evidence of what they would have done differently. Notwithstanding the own goals that Stevo mentions some of which would inevitably happen anyway, I don't see much clear water between them at all.

I'm a millennial and young people are beyond pissed at the DailyMail generation who consistently vote to make things worse and to make the rich richer.

What is their solution? Don't they want ever higher numbers of people here, ever more affordable housing and ever more protection for the environment? It's like me wanting to have five strikers, five midfielders and five defenders in my fantasy league team.

Maybe millennials have been lied to about what is possible and realistic?

Every generation is being lied to by every political party about what is possible and realistic. It's a constant.

I agree. One of the weaknesses of the party political system (other options are less desirable in other ways before anyone says anything!)

vote however you like, it won't make any difference, the Tories are heading for their worst results in a long time with or without your vote.
