The Labour Party may have a commanding majority in Parliament (over 200 seats), but that flatters them. Their vote share increased by less than two percentage points to 34%. With our unfair system, that was enough to give them 63% of the seats. They had better deliver what the people want or they risk losing next time.
And with the trend for countries to go to the right, the conservatives could make a comeback if they get their act together. Alternatively Labour could continue to shift right in the hopes of keeping power.
The Southern Strategy caused many conservative Democratic voters in the South to switch to the Republicans thanks to racism. The most racist party may end up winning the next election thanks to the migration issue and to misinformation. But just maybe World War II will cause a reset.
While local politics is different from national, earlier this month Labour lost a council seat in Swale (Kent) to Reform UK. The swing away from Labour was 23% and they came third.
I see Reform UK as being most like MAGA. Seems like Musk thinks so too. Unelectable yet elected. Crazy when we need sense. And he supports AfD too - that's the company they keep. They helped Putin cause chaos here by touting Brexit.
