Labour are now ahead of Reform in polls from More in Common (28% to 24%) and Survation (26% to 24%). Also YouGov has Labour and Reform on level terms, both at 22%. This is the first time in over a year that Reform has not had a lead over Labour.
Thoughts?
It’s horrid that Britain has reached a state where the most popular left wing party gets less than a third and the party snapping at their tails is basically The National Front 2.
New Labour is not a leftwing party.
Under its previous leader it was probably even to the right of center-right.
Jury is still out on how far to the Right its current leader will keep it.
Labour haven’t really been a left wing party since 1995
Yes, that’s why we should vote reform or conservative comrade. Let’s help topple the current system and rebuild from the ashes. I have 3 tins of baked beans that will last us during the revolution.
Or, you know, you could vote Greenparty.
“Curious” that you don’t mention that.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
The fact that other parties exist that are much further to the right of Labour doesn’t change the fact that Labour revoked their commitment to moving the means of production into public ownership under Tony Blair, and have since systematically ousted every left wing MP from their ranks.
I’m all for tactical voting to keep the likes of Farage away from power (though that will probably mean having to vote SNP where I live), but that doesn’t magically counteract the last 30 years of New Labour’s neoliberalism.
