Re: Tory Watch
52% turn out, in a by election where Governing Conservatives have an 80 seat majority. Labour lost deposit. Lib Dem’s now have 12 seats. Tuffers, you are furiously having a hand shandy prematurely.

If you north of England towards minority right wing parties and the conservatives. This highlights the conservative nature of england and shows that labour needs to dominate in scotland to win power. Which they are not.
Furthermore, last time labour were in power they where almost a conservative party in new labour under tony blair and the swing to the left under jeremy corbyn has damaged their popularity forcing them into a more centrally alligned party.

Yes, but whereas having a hand shandy is never a waste of time the same cannot be said for your posts.

Re: Tory Watch
IF Scotland voted to become independent, then virtually no opposition to a permanent Conservative government and even more so the case if Wales became independent, so Lefties beware of what you wish for ! Other options available to them would be to "up sticks" and move to the new "Socialist Heavens" of Wales and Scotland, but as proved when Trump gained power, the luvvies who pledged to leave the US if Trump won, soon forget their pledges and stayed where they were, talk is cheap !KVN wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 9:01 amI know that was from Enter the dragon, but you are right.

I agree if scotland left labour wouldn't win controll of westminster for the forseen future.

Re: Tory Watch
Even more so if Wales left !! At present, Tories and Labour have lost Scotland to the SNP and when it comes to votes in the House of Commons, SNP and Welsh non Tories normally back up the Labour Party ! As you correctly say, without the votes from these two countries, Labour would be on much the same level as the Lib -Dems !KVN wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 11:25 amI agree if scotland left labour wouldn't win controll of westminster for the forseen future.

It was claimed on the radio that it was mostly a protest vote against HS2. Apparently it's going straight through the middle of their area

Re: Tory Watch
The Tories got a short sharp reminder that despite no real opposition from Labour, they need to avoid complacency. This result in a way was bad for the Lib Dems and Labour. The Tories will look at this hiding, regroup and be that much more focussed in the future. The loss of one seat makes no real difference, especially after picking one up earlier.
If either party wants to seriously challenge the Tories it will need a sustained programme of policies that interest people and by a party people believe are able to deliver. Forget the Lib Dems, bit part players. So it’s down to Starmer. Coming in behind the Greens didn’t help.

Re: Tory Watch
Its not a risk because the tory's do not have anyone to challenge them. But if labour did get in they would be very similar to the tory's so much it would make little difference. Beacuse that it what happened under Blair.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 9:21 pmQue ?KVN wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 7:45 pmWhy not have an election if there is no one to beat you.

As for the 3 elections
Cameron won in 2015 & called a brexit vote he lost .
He then resigned , tressamae rhen won an election but
Couldnt get tory rebels like gove weasel Mogg & Bodge
To tow the line . She held an election & lost .
Bodge won an election on getting #brexitdone ,
Which he claimed he did & now the Story Party are asking
The EU for an extension so they can get chilled meats &
Still trying to come to terms with boarder issues .
Are you sure you have followed whats been going on since 2015 ?

Now that you lost you have no chance of a return to power, even more so if they get independance.
Even Boris is beating you, the man clearly has lost control but labour can not capitalise on it.
But you keep waiting for the second coming.
