The Tories want people to assume the outcome is decided but the only way to remove this government is to vote them out, says Labour’s national campaign coordinator
The tories also get votes because they are so horrible, they know this and play to it. It does help them, put people don’t want to admit this to pollsters so they don’t poll as well. Especially when they are completely undefendable like they are now. Nothing drives people like hate and anger, which the press and tories stir up at every chance. They’ll complain about immigration and how bad immigrants are, despite them being responsible for the highest levels of immigration ever (tories like immigration it keeps wages down and makes unions weaker).
The tories will get more votes than you would expect, not enough to win. The tories have always been this nasty and incompetent. They still won elections.
It is my belief that this is exactly what happened last election. Labour have it in the bag, may as well not walk to the polling station, just stay here and play Red Dead.
Corbyn had his youth vote, but they just couldn’t be bothered voting because he had it in the bag.
This election I’m ringing around my friends and driving them to the polling station
I don’t see how this can be the case. Labour were miles behind the Tories for the entire campaign on every metric, having been behind for virtually the entirety of the previous five (or more) years!
File this under “expectation management”.
I think its more that they’re worried labour voters won’t bother actually voting then the tories win anyway.

I guess you weren’t paying attention to the opinion polls at the last election.
