General Election 2024

reverse Ben

Haha! I finally have a purpose in life.

Or at least something new to try in the bedroom.

What's happened?

Ben Habib being demoted?

Reform to win the next general election.
Calling it

I can’t see an outright win but could potentially force a coalition, which would be a win for them.

Coalition with the Tories?

At this point, I really don't give a fuck who is in charge anymore, so long as they just fix stuff and don't skim off for their mates

lol

Are you happy to pay more tax (directly or otherwise) to pay to fix stuff?

Hard yes to this. Wish more people would think like this

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that public polling found that generally most people would be happy to pay a little more tax in return for better community stuff. I'll see if I can find it.

Yeah so all the narrative from the right wing media about tax is actually against public sentiment on the whole.

I'm in a Tory stronghold and have started getting letters and flyers from Reform.

Andy Burnham will become Labour leader and they'll survive the next election is my long shot.

I think the Reform vote will gain a bit of ground but will run out of people with “reasonable concerns” before they get to a significant figure. The Tories will chase them, but a) each time they move further right they’ll shed voters to the Greens and Lib-Dems, and b) will never be able to go far enough to stop the cunts going to Reform.

Then it’s a case of what coalition would be possible? They’d likely need Reform+Tory+LD, and that group won’t work.

He’s too left for the UK.

So the racism and hate never went away from the Tories.

He has charisma and he's done well in M/cr

How about getting rich people paying their fair share or percentages similar to PAYE?

Yep.
My actual utopia would be government that didn't waste billions with bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake, thus negating the need to raise tax - but we can but dream

Are you Elon?

Commercial space travel makes me angry, so no.

No. Paying more tax will just encourage the grifters.

That's an unfair response, I feel. @TooTallTim is just pointing out that there's a lot of poor / wasteful spending of public funds, as things stand.

Lots of flags
