I don't think there's anything new in that UKVI poll. They've been pretty steady for some months now. What for me was interesting in the article was about the popularity of Tony Blair. I thought from reading this forum that he was universally detested. Seemingly I was wrong. There is only one poll that counts Andy. But interim polls can give the parties and party workers clues as to where and on what their greatest efforts should be directed — and in the meantime they give pollsters and trollsters ammunition for discussion and banter... |

There's still the issue of shy voters, there's the issue of a week is a long time in politics. There's the issue that whilst Sunak is shit, Keir Starmer is also shit, and if Labour are even worse, then who knows? Right now, what do Labour actually stand for? What are their policies? Starmer is a weather vane isn't he? He's spun around in all directions since he got his break and became a frontbencher. Can he be trusted? I don't think so. If Labour want to govern, they need to reassure us all that they have policies, they'll stand for things and can be trusted. Maybe its because Labour are all too aware of the lying, insinuating power of the Conservative propaganda machine (that has had so much effect in the past on people like yourself) they are keeping their powder dry for the political war that is looming ahead. |

Whilst that's true, seems a bit pointless on starting a thread on polls then criticising people for talking 👄 about polls! 😀 |

Your reading lets you down. I didn't say it was pointless to start a thread on polls. If I'd have thought it was pointless, I wouldn't have commented. Please read my post again.

Until it happens and they have to dig even deeper into their empty pockes and wallets..
GB News poll has Labour heading for majority election victory.
Cant see Labour winning a significant majority, yes they will probably win but many commentators think a small majority possibly a hung parliament is more likely than a Labour landslide. And the sad fact is, Labour will probably win not because Starmer and Labour are any good, but because Sunak and the Tories are rubbish. Not exactly a glowing indictment of Labour popularity. |

And likely on a very low turnout. I predict that maybe 20% of the electorate will actually vote Labour.

If you had of read fully my opening post, I wondered howm many will regret which box they ticked on the forthcomming may. There are a great many younger voters out there who do not how crass life can be under labour. |
