Definitely the case with my dad. A working class lad, who always voted left or centre when i was growing up. By the end he became quite right wing and a Brexit voter

Originally posted by palace99 Good points. Whether you like him or not Starmer represents a more moderate approach to govt, and he quickly realised that to get into power he needs the support of the centre thinking/soft right voters. If you look at the voting over the last 40 plus years of general elections only a move to the right from Blair got Labour into power. Starmer appears to be replicating this policy. Whether you liked Corbyn or not, the fact is the 2019 election was a terrible performance from Labour, so something had to change. I'm not a massive fan of Starmer but i understand his strategy. The Green party has had decent support over the last 30 odd years but only has 1 MP and this won't improve any time soon. It appears when a general election comes around the majority of the country vote right of centre. Agreed. It feels like from what you're saying - is that people don't really want real change Just someone up there who appears to be in control and giving us the illusion of competence. Boris Johnson being prime minister destroys all the above points I've made. Lol " You're not laughing now are you". Nigel Farage 2016.

Yes, you should get your 'progressive' TV.....as much as it gives me stomach ache to say it and I should get my DR stuff as well. Why should the establishment get to keep all the cherries?

Perhaps your Dad just grew up.....the world when he was young was far more conservative than today and perhaps it's more the case that the world changed more than perhaps he did.

Yet another scandal to the list with Laurence Fox suspended from the channel for a rant about a female journalist, while the host (who's got a whole host of allegations of his own which everyone is weirdly quiet on) chuckles away. GB News now sh*tting themselves and apologising left right and centre in the hope they don't get shut down. Remember, they are here to takeover!
