Yellow Bear Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Obviously a protest vote when there is no risk of the party introducing all it's, frankly stupid, policies by trying to out left labour and out green the greens.🤔 Edited June 19, 2021 by Yellow Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Conservative HQ has lost any sleep over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the LibDems are all for HS2, so that may be a red herring. https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/lib-dem-manifesto-yes-hs2-no-heathrow-expansion-21-11-2019/ 2 hours ago, Yellow Bear said: Obviously a protest vote when there is no risk of the party introducing all it's, frankly stupid, policies by trying to out left labour and out green the greens. This is the real reason - and the protest is about (alleged) proposed relaxations in planning - which would be very significant in Home Counties areas. The people who should worry are Labour; their vote collapsed, they lost their deposit, and things aren't looking good for them in Batley and Spen (due 1st July). https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9702297/Sir-Keir-Starmer-faces-humiliation-calls-quit-poll-shows-Labour-crushed-election.html Edited June 19, 2021 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Yes. I think sadly that this is NOT a revolt against Government wildlife policy being decided by an unelected Lord "Zac" Goldsmith and an unelected Carrie Johnson nee Symonds.

In the past - we have only realistically had a choice of two Labour (or Labour led coalition/alliance with SNP, LibDem etc.) Tory (or Tory led coalition/alliance with LibDem, DUP) Of the two leading contenders, Tory is (or has been) 'less bad'. Sadly, despite the recent Tory outbreak of 'wokeism', I cannot see any other possible party/coalition/alliance (with any realistic chance of forming a government) who would be any better.

Westward Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 The point about the so called Blue Wall is that there isn't one. Southern voters tend to vote positively using their heads which makes them somewhat different from the mostly northern based electorate with a lot of automatic and unthinking hatred of the tories, which has sustained the Red Wall for generations. People in places like Amersham aren't stupid by and large. They tend keep up with real news, rather than just celeb gossip, and they don't like that Boris has taken away our liberties with no clear plan or timescale for restoring them. Plus they can see he's been indecisive and instead of using his scientific advisers to offer their views so that he can make executive decisions, he's allowed them to tell him what his decisions should be. The net result is that, thanks to the usual disagreements between scientists and a government run by a bunch of people who haven't evolved much since their student days, the government has been out it's collective depth right from day 1. The upshot is that they've simply kept on kicking the can down the road in the hope that one day either vaccines or nature will end the pandemic. Well, the pandemic has been over for weeks and there's no need to keep throwing everything under the bus in order to "Save the NHS". There aren't many in hospital with Covid and all but a tiny percentage of those are people who haven't been vaccinated - usually because they've refused it. The only people who don't get that the pandemic is over, or rather don't want to get it, are the scientific advisers pulling Boris' strings, who I suspect are being handsomely rewarded for fuelling and maintaining government panic and thus prolonging the restrictions unnecessarily. The LibDems didn't win the seat, Boris & Co lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
