The constant lead for Labour is pretty impressive: Tories deserve to lose the next election for what they’ve done (or haven’t done at all).
It’s interesting how Labour has managed to separate themselves from Corbyn and make themselves seen to be electable. The Tories usually close polling gaps during a general election, but this one is pretty much a guaranteed loss for the Tories if it were held soon.
I mean, personally I think the success that Labour are seeing right now is directly a result of the Conservative party imploding over the last 2-3 years. Throw in a ‘cost of living’ crisis and the fact that we’ve had these guys in charge for well over a decade it shouldn’t be a massive shock that Labour are polling well.
I think another huge part of a guaranteed loss is that the Tories have always been “the party of the homeowner”, yet good luck with that considering today’s interest rates on mortgages.

PrincipleFish
- Deltapoll give easy access to their regions breakdown so I also put this one through the principlefish election predictor:
More would vote green if we had a PR voting system. The same goes for LD. The interesting part for me would be how protest votes either decline or rise. With PR every vote counts. People are happy to throw a protest vote in when it doesn’t matter due to FPTP.
Of polls recently, past week or so, this one has both Green and REF on less than the others I remember. 7% & 8% shuffling between them.
But those polls had Lab lower than 48% so could be a Deltapoll thing, weighting etc.
I will be interested in the true GE numbers they get, will REF get Con protest votes if the boomers still vote in the same numbers as usual (almost all REF support was 55+) and will Greens regress back to 2-3% because the plurality of their vote goes tactical…
It’s a joke that FPTP turns all these parties into a joke.
In FPTP people vote to block who they do not want, not what they desire. It is a very regressive system that does not promote good policies. There are no good arguments for FPTP anymore. We are enduring the most right wing government in our history. Worse still is that if the Tories did not win in 2019, the alternative would have been an ultra far left government.
