TQR 14,398 Posted June 24 Labour poll lead, election periods 1997 vs 2024. The gradual but distinct narrowing realised in Blair v Major times is nowhere to be found this time round with 10 days to go. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gradual but distinct narrowing realised in Blair v Major times is nowhere to be found this time round with 10 days to go. Polls has an average 30 point Labour lead when Major called the election, down to sixteen with ten days to go and finally a thirteen point deficit on election day. Sunak was on average 22 points behind Labour when he called the election and with ten days to go he's in average 22 points behind. Believe it or not ten days out in 1997 the Guardian had a poll of it being a five point difference and splashed big on how the landslide theory was a complete myth!

En Passant 3,741 Posted June 24 I'm proud of myself. I managed to get put on pre-mod by The Guardian by coming home pissed as a rat on Thursday (No, I'm not Oliver Reed, George Best or Charles Kennedy, it's one night a week after pool, and only sometimes :P) and continually complaining in some random "Comment is Free" section (where they had actually opened the comments for once), that it was in actuality anything but 'free' and that any comment even mildly critical of their reporting or implying they had an agenda was immediately censored. They publish loads of clickbait and agenda driven garbage and will brook absolutely zero criticism of it. I'm off to search a better way of jumping the FT's paywall. Or just use the bbc (with all it's faults) or The Canary or something, more research required. Probably should post this in some other thread but cba to decide where. Forgive me.

Also the Tory vote didn’t change in the polls - it was just Labour dropped down from as high as 58% in one poll nit without the Tories gaining much of it.

Pity Rishi doesn't have the balls As if Burns tweeted that for any reason other than Reform taking half his votes away leading to an expected Labour win in Bournemouth West. I moved out of the constituency a couple of years ago but I will take great pleasure in seeing him lose his seat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunak's snappiness, ridiculous decision making and inability to empathise suggest poor mental health. And besides, Starmer is a keen footballist. It's only really age where Sunak has the upper hand.

YoungWillz 21,050 Posted June 25 How dare Sunak withdraw support for Saunders and Williams over Gamblegate? Innocent until proven guilty. Prejudice to the ongoing investigations. Stabbing Tories in the front. If it hadn't been for the war in Ukraine and the global pandemic, these Tory candidates would not have had to resort to a "flutter" down William Hill. Of course, I'm being sarcastic. Truth is you only have to look at how Sunak is running his campaign and the flip flopping over this issue to see this is how he has been running the country and why it is in the mess it is. His attack line on flippity floppity Starmer just went down the toilet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
