Potentially Lib Dems/PC too. Nobody fields candidates where another candidate likely to win is standing.

Yes it's crazy really that Corbyn and Starmer were picked ahead of him. People naturally warm to him.

If the gap is that big in a year likely the parties on the right will reach some kind of pact. Which in turn might see the left do the same with a joint PR undertaking.

Like to see a left v right chart. Most of the changes are just people moving around within to two groups? Rather than switching.

Only a matter of time before they "team up" which means the other parties might be forced to respond likewise and we're back to a two horse race.

Queen of Hearts (Solitaire) is a 1928 Art Deco oil painting by Danish artist Gerda Wegener. The painting shows Lili Elbe sitting on a chair, surrounded by playing cards and holding a cigarette in her mouth. She wears a short, bright red dress, with part of her slip visible and her bare legs crossed. In her right hand, she holds the Queen of Hearts card.

Economy is always top. Immigration is just a proxy for the economy. Something to blame if people feel they are struggling.

Absurd still blaming Thatcher when so much has changed outside of government policy. Not least sweeping technology changes.

You don't need to be an expert to make Wikipedia better, just willing. Five ways in: fix a small thing, try a micro-edit, share a skill, welcome a newcomer, or add what's missing. Pick one, start anywhere: wikimedia.org.uk/gift-knowledge-you…

Nope because right leaning people are pretty dim when it comes to voting tactically. Unless they have some sort of coalition the left as things stand should get more seats.

Be quite a few by-elections early on judging by Reform councillors. People jack it in when they experience the reality of the position.

Very hard to become popular when you are unpopular. Easy to go the other way around. Being so unpopular out of government suggests they'll never be in the position to make hard decisions and gain unpoularity in the conventional way.
