tax those who don't vote for us more to fund free stuff for those who do.

Yep, the days of Labour being the party of the working class are long gone. All just looking after the chancers and chavs now, keep enough of the population dependent on handouts to keep voting for them. Green are a worse version of Labour.

Which makes absolutely no economic sense, the only way it goes if the majority are paid by the state is national bankruptcy. Which may happen before 2029 yet, they're on really thin ice. They keep taxing more, while the economy is now slipping into recession as a direct result. The more they tax now, the less they'll take.

It genuinely concerns me what would come of the UK if that lot gained power.

It's unlikely to happen. But the window to stop it is narrowing.

It's getting feasible that Labour and Green could arrange a pact, where they don't compete for individual seats. Then they could cobble together enough seats between them to get a majority coalition and be an even worse version of what we currently have.

Alternatively, a Green-Lib Dem coalition could happen, as it looks like Labour have no hope of getting any more than a handful of seats now, thanks to their glorious leader.

Hopefully not though, but who knows. Anyone voting for the tit-whisperer clearly isn't thinking straight, but that appears to apply to a lot of people in the UK. If you pay idiots to breed this is where we end up, sadly.

current voting analysis still has Reform the largest party, even allowing for tactical voting. Conservatives on a bad day have enough seats to support and 10 would probably defect anyway. I can't seem Starmer wanting the play ball with the greens.

There will be tactical voting on an unprecedented scale to keep Reform out. When their barmier policies are exposed during a general election campaign, they will lose at least eight percentage points. I see them getting a maximum of 22%. These factors combined will give them less than a hundred seats.

who will win then?

who will win then?

Labour biggest party.

But they will need a rainbow coalition.

Which will make it very hard to take difficult decisions.

Labour had a golden chance to build on their GE win. What do they do? Feck it up, big style, starting with the winter fuel payment debacle. Who the feck was advising them? Any idiot could have told them 'whether good idea or not, it's not the right time to roll a policy like that out'.

 

[motorbiking]

I'm calling Refory. Reform + Tory, Labour need a miracle and will drift to the left.

All the parties seem to go nuts with big majorities.

Have many friends who grew up in Longsight, the area is beyond recognition today.

Dreadful, isn't it, how things change.

Is this the Longsight past you yearn for?

For many years, Longsight has been plagued by gang related violence, similar to that of nearby Moss Side. Most of the violence came from tensions between two rival gangs which fought "turf wars" with each other since the 1990s, resulting in many shootings and several deaths. The Gooch Gang, from neighbouring Moss Side, were jailed in 2009, Consequently, gun crime in Greater Manchester as a whole has fallen dramatically, from a high of 120 gang-related shootings in 2006 to just 16 in 2011.

In 1773 Longsight was a village with 241 houses and a population of 590.

If you were able, at what point between then and now would you freeze it in time?

 

[morqthana]

Deny everything, nothing to see here, move on.

Whatever. This freak by-election result definitely wasn't a groundswell of anything, it was just a flare-up during the dying embers of the whole lefty nonsense.

Don't you just wish.

The "Green" party will continue buttering up the islamists, they'll probably get a few more MPs but it will definitely all blow up at some point, simply because islamists can't possibly align with socialists on almost anything. In fact islamists don't align with anyone else on anything, a few aircraft carriers full of bombs are currently showing the world what civilised nations think of them. Thankfully there aren't enough islamists to gain any meaningful power without the lefty halfwits who think they're a deserving cause, so they'll continue to remain a contained threat. They'll face far more restrictions after the next election, e.g. sharia courts, sticking bags over women's heads etc.

Your posts become more and more unhinged by the day.

 

[morqthana]

I'd have to leave the UK, they'd drain me.

Another good reason to vote for them.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Pacts between parties could make a huge difference. i.e. one party stands theire candidate down, and they tell people to vote for their partner party. They reciprocate in another seat. I could seriously see Green and Lib Dems doing this, they're both fringe parties and attract similar but different nutjobs.

If we can assume that almost nobody will vote Labour then Green and Lib Dems together, not competing, could be a pretty strong force.

Their alliance would soon explode, possibly even before the election, but it could be a feasible possibility.
