I say yes with a landslide Majority taking 414 constituencies.
If a government or other elected body has a mandate to carry out a particular policy or task, they have the authority to carry it out as a result of winning an election or vote

This ridiculous rhetoric needs to stop, they certainly do not have a mandate from the majority of the public, they are governing on a wing and a prayer.

Keir Starmer himself said that the Brexit referendum should not be regarded as a mandate to leave the EU because it was only a 52/48% margin. That's why campaigned for a second referendum with a larger majority required for leave. But he got 34% of the vote in the election.
But. of course, we know that the Left applies different rules to itself than to others.

But. of course, we know that the Left applies different rules to itself than to others. Therein lies the problem, the left see themselves as the arbiters of what is right and wrong. In their eyes a RW MP is duty bound not just to consider all his constituents but also to consider all their views. A LW constituent has a mandate to act as he sees fit and ignore or even expel other viewpoints from his ken. This was clearly exampled by Margaret Hodge on her speech on winning Barking and Dagenham where the BNP received 16% of the vote. There was no agreement to consider the views expressed by that 16% of her constituents instead Hodge demanded that the BNP get out of Barking and Dagenham and never return. |

Labour polled half a million less votes than the last time they were defeated.
80% of the electorate didn't vote for them.
They don't have a mandate. Nor even a democratic imperative.

If you dont want a discussion why post Because this ridiculous rhetoric is already out hand, when the whole point was making sure although the Conservatives are gone and good riddance, that the other branch of the Westminster party had no way of governing in the majorities name. Which take it from me they cannot. |

They do for their manifesto. But not to deviate from it, and you know how Labour love to deviate from their manifestos.
They are extremely hypocritical.

Seems that the only people who think that Labour have a mandate are the 20% of the electorate who voted for them.
