Oliver White @oliverdwwhite.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Elections in safer seats always have a lot of commentary about what is a good or bad result. This is probably the best evidence that the result was underwhelming for Reform. 110
Oliver White @oliverdwwhite.bsky.social · 03/08/2026By-elections are not normal elections and this is not a normal by-election. Farage is going to win, but given major parties not standing, it is worth looking out for the proportion of "Don't know's" and Not voting with this poll. 020

Reposted by Oliver White Dylan Difford @dylandifford.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Given the BBC have a largely sensible set of guidelines on the use of quant polling in news stories, including a ban on a poll being a story in itself, it's always so baffling they have next-to-no similar rules on what is ultimately rudimentary qual polling. It's an insane double-standard. 1040181

Reposted by Oliver White Christabel Cooper @christabelcoops.bsky.social · 19/06/2026It is extremely important that Labour understands that the movement of voters between Lab and Ref was not the crucial factor, it was consolidation of the anti-Ref vote and Lab voters turning out in droves. Otherwise Burnham will make the same mistakes as Starmer in targeting only one set of voters. 33912278
Oliver White @oliverdwwhite.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Barnier's position is not an indication of what the EU would demand for the UK rejoining. But it does indicate that those who make the "UK would have to join the EURO" argument lack political imagination. 000

Oliver White @oliverdwwhite.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Saying he would work with Greens is actually substantial: questions about coalitions or working arrangements between Parties have often been dismissed. The promise about PR will meet the resistance of individual Labour MPs. 000
