To be fair, this poll hasn't allowed time for Kier's conference speech and essay to filter down throughout the public yet.

54% vote share for a centrist/progressive coalition. Massive shame the dinosaur unions voted against a motion to get Labour behind supporting proportional representation.

Under PR Greens would have 58 MPs, but under first past the post, they will probably get 1

Mibees the voters don't want to vote for a Labour Party at war with itself led by a rubber faced loser. Just sayin'
They certainly didn’t vote for Labour with all its issues, lead by a two-faced loser.
Labour's share of the vote in the last four General Elections proves you are talking utter, utter, utter bollix. No surprises there.

The numbers are as follows:

Under Corbyn

2019 - 32.2%

2017 - a whopping 40%. This was before the right wing wreckers ramped up their destabilisation campaign.

Under some geeky guy called Edward

2015 - 30%

Under Knees up Mother Brown

2010 - a miserable 29%

Having left The Labour party after 40 years I find it so funny when in political discussion down the rubber that people get annoyed with me when I agree with them the Labour Party is finished.
Their faces when I agree with them that they have no chance ever to get elected again agree this Country is in the the best hands possible.
They are really more unhappy with me than when I was in The Party and the one that really gets them is when asked why did you leave? and I answer.
Because we are in safe hands at the moment.

It's just outside Shrewsbury on the A5. Retired Toolmakers are allowed to congregate in a protected area, operate lathes and other toolmaking machinery without fear of being abused by Tory voting employers.

Football should be decided on PR. Possession Rate. Last season we would have been promoted. Shame it’s determined by individual results success. Bummer.
