If Labour do win the 2024 General Election they will find themselves in a very strange situation regarding what they are able to achieve, at least in the short term.
People always want big, bold statements regarding huge investments in infrastructure, house building, energy developments to relieve our dependancy on other countries oil/gas and so on.
But I was struck by something Peter Kyle said yesterday. Labour will I’m sure make some major policy announcements but he also said this. Paraphrasing, he said it is shameful but it would be a huge achievement to get to a place where people could get an appointment with their GP, to get their NHS treatment that they’ve been waiting on for X years or to get a dental appointment.
He could have also said it would be an amazing achievement if, when people are mugged or their house is burgled that the police would turn up to investigate.
It’s a dreadful situation for the country to be in that the basic pillars of a civilised society aren’t there any more.
I’ve mentioned health but then there’s education (how many thousands of teachers are needed to fill all the vacancies which means our children’s education is suffering ?). And policing (see above) – the service is 20,000 officers short. No wonder the streets are becoming lawless. Then there’s the Prison Service and the CPS. It is all an utter shambles.
As far as I can see it all of this is down to one thing and that’s the austerity that the Conservatives have imposed on the country since 2010. They cut back massively in all departments in order to ‘bring the countries enormous debt down’. They asked that people accept the need for this pain and go along with it and that there was no other way to achieve the goal.
And after the pain of all that austerity where are we now ? In 2010 the debt was less than £1 trillion. It is now £2.6 trillion.
If they have cut back so enormously on spending, which by extension means that they were also able to cut back on borrowing, could someone explain to me where all this debt has come from ? |  | | |  |

5 completely nonsense reasons then. You vote tory because you were a copper during the miners strike and thatcher looked after you while you liberally used the baton against your own. |
I was answering the question raised.
Your mask has now slipped.
Get the &ok out of here | |

Any more and it’s banning time, no more of this trying to ruin the threads then the site.
This site is connected to the brain tumour charity, they come first not some pathetic nonsense on here. That’s not just aimed at you. You just happened to be in the way.

Why?
Just some thoughts…
1. Mistrust of Unions and their power
2. Mistrust of bloated nationalised companies with inept central government
3.Social milieu. If living in a green and pleasant region where live comfortably ,tendency to be defensive .
4. The previous corrosive history of Labour in the 60s and 70s.
5. Perception conservatives are the party of law and order.
Number 5 is actually hard to type as it’s so farming wrong . |
Aren't they more fear of Labour?
I was asking what has 13 years of Tory govenment done to make people want to vote for them? | | | |

Which is why I explicitly asked for reasons other then ‘they’re not Labour’.
It seems very difficult for people to pick positives from the last 13 years.
There’s no entire group of political affiliate I’d say I’d hate. That would be incredibly unlikely. [Post edited 17 Oct 2023 17:58]

“I hate them all” - Wow, not so much letting the mask slip as throwing it on the floor in a teary tantrum.
So the reason you never vote Labour is because I called you out on here a few hours ago? Who are you trying to kid with that one? | |

Stop the boats init. That will solve all of our problems. |
Talking about the boats, could someone please explain to me why that is going to be a deterrent ?
That's assuming it ever happens obviously. | | | |

At every football match that I have been to this season, Wales and Swansea games, thousands have sung Fu#£ the Tories for many verses.
So I would say that they haven’t got a hope in hells chance of getting in.
The singers could of course all be voting for the Greens. |  |

As some one who attends all home game sitting in the east stand I cannot recall that particular ditty being sung., ever .Not that is an indicator of which way supporter's vote I would say a better indicator is voter apathy neither Labour nor tory are worthy of support | |

Smacks of desperation to me, can't defend the Senedd so have a pop at the tories. We all know both are doing a crap job, but let's see a bit of balance. Or is it a case of love is blind. | | | |

I've only missed one home game and been away 4 times this season and I haven't heard it either. We sit in the East too.
Why make stuff up when so many of us on here attend games?
Is there no level that won't be stooped to to try and defend Labour or deflect attention from them?
It doesn't matter anyway, Wales will never elect the tories here and UK wide these tories are the biggest bunch of lying, cheating, useless twonks it has ever been my displeasure to watch. | | | |

A Senedd by-election at the moment would be interesting, I would wager neither Conservative or Labour would win the seat. | | | |

Ihope that all across Wales people are waking up, paying attention and realising they need to use their vote BUT to choose something different, lets kick the Tories AND Labour into the long grass and have real change. | | | |

Quite possibly not in a GE. But entirely possible in a Senedd election depending on the other candidates. Labour nationally is nothing like Labour Wales, well I sincerely hope not. |
I won’t vote Labour in the next general election due to how poor Wales has been governed.
Of course Labour will romp home & Drakeford will see it as a glowing endorsement of his government in Wales.
Voted Labour most of my life (not in the last election) [Post edited 18 Oct 2023 19:16]

Romp home? Well if they do it'll be because too many people didn't vote again. Last time they got around 20% of the eletorate to back them. | | | |

Nothing is going to change in Wales until the people who live outside the central CF postcode area stop voting for Politicians who continually fart in their faces. | |
