Shhhh! Don't put a hex on it!It's looking like a big loss in West Midlands for the Tories, Andy Street, the current Mayor, is being predicted to lose.
My relatives in NI anticipate that Brexit will continue to bolster Sinn Fein, I will be interested to see if this pans out.
It's Labour's to lose, and on the present evidence, that would take some very hard work.So, in the next few months our PM has to call a GE, latest I believe is January 2025.
The main runners and riders are: -
In the regions we also have
- Conservative
- Green
- Labour
- Lib Dems
- Reform Ltd
And Northern Ireland has
- Plaid Cymru (Wales)
- SNP (Scotland)
- Alliance Party
- Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)
- Green Party
- Sinn Féin (SF)
- Social Democratic Labour Party (SDLP)
There will be others but our electoral system excludes them as it is first past the post.
Use this thread to discuss and debate.
It is a shame, it is a party of career politicians now, so I guess it can be expected for them to tail the popular fashions.It appears that Sinn Fein in the Republic are taking a hard line on immigration,
I'm not sure about the Republic, but my family (protestant and catholic sides) both consider Sinn Fein's perceived growth in popularity as a sign that the end of partition will come, independent of their stance on such. I would consider unification to be a good thing.but it remains to be seen how steering towards populist, right wing nationalism, will play out with the Irish people.
To be honest, I can handle 'boring'. After Johnson, Truss, Sunak I'm very much looking forward to calm.It's Labour's to lose, and on the present evidence, that would take some very hard work.
I suppose we could imagine that the Lib Dems and Greens and maybe some from the colonies ─ Wales, Scotland, NI ─ could keep Labour's numbers under 50.1% and force a coalition of some kind; but I wouldn't bet on it.
Will the rather boring Starmer be rather boring in office? Pay only a few quid for his sneakers? Merely address the mess that Boris and Liz and Rish! will bequeath him instead of handing out ice creams and public holidays? Yes, I think he'll be just as exciting in office as in opposition.
Indeed. After *******, ***** and ****, I crave boring.To be honest, I can handle 'boring'. After Johnson, Truss, Sunak I'm very much looking forward to calm.
This is where UK politics is superior to the US; Count Binface, Raving Looney Party, etc.Behold the true moral winner of the London local elections. Count Binface got more votes for mayor than the Britain First candidate, reminding me that sometimes it’s still good to be British…

I have a vague recollection in a by-election in the Ribble Valley (?) where there had been some sexual impropriety of the previous incumbent, one candidate was for the "Whiplash Party" promising corrective punishment. This would have been in the mid 1980s.This is where UK politics is superior to the US; Count Binface, Raving Looney Party, etc.
How could anyone not vote for Binface?This is where UK politics is superior to the US; Count Binface, Raving Looney Party, etc.
Can't fault any of those.
A sensible platform
