The Tories already lead with working class voters on the latest polls since Boris took over with Labour second and the Brexit Party third, the Tories have a narrower lead over the LDs with middle class votersnumbertwelve said:
I now believe the only way the right will complete the takeover of the WWC vote will be under a movement that is NOT the Tories. Yes the sentiment is shifting away from the Labour Party, but there is a deep seated distrust of “the Tories” that I think stops a lot of people moving into their column, particularly in the northern urban areas.Alanbrooke said:
Id say one further advantage could be the moving tectonic plates of the UK electorate. The coalition that was Labour is looking fragile middle class poshos and working class have less in common these days. The Tories too are split between the metropolitans and the shires. depending how the shifts go we could have poshos and metropolitans under an LD banner and the norney handed sons of toil under a britain first Tory party.ydoethur said:
They have one huge advantage. They are the only major national party that hasn't dug itself into a veritable mohole over Brexit. Whatever the democratic principles involved, at least their message is simple, clear, and appeals to a very large chunk of 48% of the electorate.Alanbrooke said:
Much as Idlike to see the LDs succeed I fear they just lack that clear meassage and killer instinct in the way the SNP did, they will spend half their time attacking the Tories and the other half attacking Labour, as a result theyll end up with policies all over the place,HYUFD said:
Only if Labour replace Corbyn with someone from the soft left as Kinnock replaced Foot after the 1983 defeat, in 1983 Labour got its lowest voteshare since 1918, Corbyn Labour is now polling lower than Foot did thenAlanbrooke said:
the LDs have the chance to replace Labour for the second time in my life. Odds are theyll scew it up againydoethur said:
And better than this muppet and all.williamglenn said:
(Admittedly, this could be damning with faint praise. Better than a Fascist and a fuckwit. But I think personally that Swinson's done OK so far. How she capitalises on Labour's latest Brexit shambles is key to how well she does in an autumn election.)
But that will be moot if we leave before the next election. Making the case to,rejoin will be much harder.

Chatting to LibDems, have been told they should expect an election either Oct 10 or Nov 7. That's not to say they know more thanwe do, but the first one - which would mean Johnson challenging Parliament to approve it on the first day back on Sept 3 - is intriguing.
Meanwhile, I see Biden's latest Iowa ad promises "strong and stable" leadership. Ah, yes, I remember it well...

Social class D is "Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers" many of whom will not be recieving any benefits at all.
Social class E is "State pensioners, casual and lowest grade workers, unemployed with state benefits only" of which the largest proportion is pensioners.

Thanks for confirming. Of course if some of them do not claim benefits at all they will be more likely to vote Tory but that will be a minority and mainly at the upper end of class D which is borderline skilled working class C2 anyway0 -

I'm not Johnson's greatest fan. Even so, blaming Brexit Dealers for a No Deal when he himself is opposed to one, has to be the most dishonest - and weak - turn from our most feckless ever prime minister.
I guess he has test marketed the message on the tiny minds of his followers and got their approval.

Yes, quite, on 10.7% of the vote last time. But that's going to be a problem for anti-Tory tactical voters. Both Lab and LDs are going to have something to point to in order to show that only they are the One True Challenger. Labour will cite 2017. LDs will cite the Euros and/or the locals. In many seats, nobody will really know for sure who's right.Yorkcity said:

Train drivers are paid far too much, but they're able to maintain their pay by threatening to grind the country to a halt by going on strike at the drop of a hat. I look forward to the invention of teleportation.
The fact that the rest of of us have salaries that have stagnated for decades whilst GDP has increased leaps and bounds is not their fault, but the rentier class loves to divide the working class by spreading discord between those who have managed to maintain their salaries & those who have lost out.0 -

If the Greens could actually get their policies on the issues they focus on half-right it'd be a start. In their field they're pretty good at identifying issues, but hopeless as to solutions. Off their specialist subject they're simply trying to emulate green things, and failing to live up to the intellectual standards set by the average potato.MarqueeMark said:
