I can name 5/8 of them: Angela Rayner, dunno, Keir, dunno, Hilary Benn, Rachel Reeves, gimp features, and the fabulously-named Thanggam Debonaire. So I can confidently spell the names of 3/8 of them. |

Lads, help me crunch some sums here: if Starmer's big tentpole figure for his whole campaign is 1.5 million homes and we currently have a backlog of 4.3 million compared to the average European country. How fucked are we? If we all just collective vote labour 4 times next year how much will house prices go down by? |

The near total acquiescence within parliament to the idea of killing tens-of-thousands of Arabs consequence free is the most racist phenomenon in politics I've witnessed within my lifetime. The fact that taking the same position as the United Nations on this issue is a sacking offense within Labour is repellent, and the hypocrisy after twenty months of, righfully, condemning and actively opposing Russia's attack on Ukraine is shocking. If a 25% lead in the polls isn't enough to have even the bare minimum level of morale courage, then when is? |

Bottom line is Labout can't afford to be seen as anything but turbo-Zionists, because the apparatus of pro-Israel interest groups and their connections have shown exactly what they can do to the party if it doesn't toe the line. I mean, wouldn't it just be terrible if another scandal about how the party is still institutionally anti-semitic came out, right in time for the election next year? |

With the kind of landslide majority Labour will be handed at the next election, they will have the mandate to radically shift the direction the country is heading, and no matter how cynical I am about a great many things, I am positive that even their worst efforts will be better for the average working men and women of this country than the actual crooks and asset strippers the Tory party. |

Lowering the voting age is something I agree with. But Starmer's been so duplicitous it almost makes me like him less, despite my genuine attempts to warm to him. I can't help but see it as, in line with what >>98783 said, a sop to younger voters because the party got some polling data that says they're staying home or voting Green, one that will be so far down the list of priorities that it'll be quietly dropped after a year or two after Reeves decides it'll cost £0.0001 and that's not "fiscally responsible". |

If the government really wants to get young people doing something, what if we did what Rwanda does? In Rwanda, on the last Saturday of every month, people have to go around their communities picking up litter. It's not a voluntary thing, it's the law. What if, instead of conscription, the government got young people to do something like that? I don't know how it would be enforced, but wikipedia says that it's worked in Rwanda so it could work here. |

Question Time is on TV at 8pm, which normally only happens when something really exciting is afoot. I watched it for ten minutes then switched it off, because it was dull and they were just talking about national service. And they're so much thicker than I am used to from here :3: one young lady observed that while many of her fellow zoomers are opposed to the idea of national service, some are very supportive, so would Labour consider keeping the plan, but including an alternative and making it not be mandatory? I nearly switched off right then. There's already an alternative (the weekend volunteering alternative) and it's not mandatory literally right now. You could join the army today if you wanted. Making it mandatory is the entire point. |

I can't bear to watch the election in Scotland. The SNP are deservedly going to be utterly destroyed, but by the only people in the country who deserve the seats even less: Scottish Labour, which has learned nothing from it's defeat in 2007, let alone 2015. They're even bringing back a few old MPs after 9 years unemployment because they're that cliquish and that devoid of talent. Say what you will about Starmer, at least he parachutes in new people to lobby on behalf of Thames Water. This is just grim. |

Nobody so far has mentioned the classic “Shy Tory” effect. They always do better than expected because lots of their voters are too embarrassed to admit to polling companies that that’s who they’re going to vote for. Now that voting Conservative is pretty much on a par with conservativeold zoophilia, where you get off on watching animals fuck each other when you fancy one of them, I would expect the Shy Tory effect to be stronger than ever. It’s just something no normal-minded person would ever admit to. Is the Shy Tory effect factored into polls anyway and they’re actually doing even worse than the news says, or might they do a lot better than expected? |

I'm starting to think one of the greatest missed opportunities in modern political history was the failure of the Department of Economic Affairs. If we'd succeeded in splitting the treasury up, maybe treasury brain wouldn't be splitting every medium or long term plan to pieces nowadays. Have one department set long term economic policy, reduce the treasury to merely aligning the budget to deliver that policy. No more buggering up the long term plan to meet short term budgetary needs: "you don't get a unilateral veto over whether HS2 is happening, it is, now do the accounts." |

I can see why they don't like multi-party debates, Labour and the Conservatives handled this one pretty badly. I thought the Tories came off a little better since they only had Savile to their right, while Labour had three parties going "Labour have basically become the Tories" and then Rayner would trot out their triangulated Tory-friendly answer without so much as a token pivot to Green/SNP/Plaid voters. They'll get away with it, but if every debate went like this the Greens would do Lib Dem numbers. |

We already have houses. You're probably in one right now. Your problem is that you probably rent it. Covering the countryside in a million new houses is certainly one way to make house prices go down, but it will ruin the countryside and it's a lot more effort than just taking the house you currently rent and making you own it somehow. And it would cost the government money, whereas massive punitive taxes on landlords would make them money. It would force your landlord to sell you your house, and then you'd be a homeowner just like if we built a new town, but the government would have more money and you wouldn't even have to move out. It's a better plan than building a load of garden villages in Suffolk and Lincolnshire. |

Despite being one of the most marginal Lab/Con constituencies in the country, whilst also being considered a genuine "Blue Wall" kind of place, I can't find any opportunities to canvass for these faux-Labour, neo-liberal, Red Tory scum. Instead I can do so in a neighbouring constituency, which is, and I'm aware of what would happen if everyone thought like this, a slam dunk for Labour.

I'd give it to Sunak again. Am I just blinded by distaste for Starmer, or is he really the worse debate performer? Not even really on the answers, where he's probably doing better with the fact checkers, but in terms of his delivery and the strength of his message. Sunak seems okay at conveying key points and an unexpectedly cheery demeanour, Starmer just seems boring and occasionally tetchy. |

I skipped most of the debate, but in all the debating I’ve seen across the different shows, Rishi has shown an endearing passion that Keir Starmer doesn’t have. Rishi Sunak talks like he really cares, like it really matters to him. Keir Starmer talks like when you ask to speak to the manager to complain about something. He’s just not that interested in what he’s hearing. |

If there's one thing I've taken away from this general election campaign, it's that old people should be hunted down like animals. The news keep vox-popping codgers on mobility scooters and they are without fail the most awful cunts imaginable. Not just selfish but actively malicious, taking a perverse glee in making life ever more miserable for young people. |

I saw a small bit of the Northern Ireland election debate on the BBC News channel earlier. I don't live in Northern Ireland so it wasn't that exciting, but the woman moderating it was fantastic. Her name was Tara something, I think, and she really ripped into the candidates much more incisively than any of the English people I've seen on the other debates. |

I’ve had a thought about politicians: I haven’t spoken to anyone who has come round campaigning. Maybe I just live in a monumentally safe seat, but also, I am at work during the day (albeit later than the usual hours). Could it be, that just like how TV vox pops always only have pensioners because that’s who’s out in the middle of the day, maybe it’s another sampling error when politicians say “the people I’ve spoken to on the doorsteps don’t care about corruption; they care about immigration and the triple lock”? What times do MPs go out campaigning? |
