'Broken pledge over 40 new hospitals will leave NHS crumbling, ministers told.' 58% of 'red wall' voters say Britain is not working, 78% say Britain is in decline. I mean, it's not as if they voted for it, is it?

I mean, it's not as if they voted for it, is it? We all know the Tories have been less than impressive, but have you seen the shadow cabinet? The obvious point is that the alternative party is not a better option. It's an embarrassment and will fail on every level. I predict that they will last one term if they get elected. If people must stick with the two main parties, then they need to be very carefully what they wish for. The Tories are the least worst option. Die hard Tory hating lefties like yourself have absolutely no objectivity whatsoever, but the undecided voter usually tires of a Labour government very quickly and with good reason. I pray for a viable alternative to the useless double act which will at least create the illusion of hope.

A decade plus of majority rule where they've screwed up the country and ignored their own manifesto pledges like the plague. I'm sure they'll value votes next time as they did previously. Hopefully whoever you feel a viable alternative will get your vote, rather than this shower.

Labour don't seem to be a party able to confront serious issues. Transformational reform nah. There is so much to be done, but as yet, it is not on their list.

I sympathize with people with genuine left wing views. They don't have a viable party to represent them any more. The Labour Party is only concerned with getting elected by saying anything they think people want to hear. Thee is no direction, policy, conviction or sincerity at all. They are predictably more interested in keeping the minorities vote rather than looking after their traditional support. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (26 May 2023 11.14am)

The Dolphin 26 May 23 11.57am
I agree with that! Trouble is - the shortermism. If those in charge really cared for the Country they would put stuff in place that might not benefit them as a party but it is stuff that would benefit the Country in the long term. If it was really big - like reforming the NHS - they could get stuff into law where any other party reneging on that policy would be seriously held to account. However, what they all do in reality, is to do something that might get them re-elected in the short term. No vision, no responsibility and few morals - all parties!
