      Can’t see it happening. We are likely the closest we have ever been since labour became a main party.

      But non of the current smaller parties is growing in popularity.

        Labour isn’t actually popular though, it’s just the conservatives that are unpopular.

        So due to FPTP voting, many will vote for the party most likely to beat CON there. So you will probably see a lot of Lib Dems (conservatives lite edition) and some regional/single issue/independents win seats too.

          Seriously everyone should look up tactical voting and just vote for whoever will get the Tories out. I’m honestly not that bothered who gets in other than not the Tories and obviously not UKIP wannabes, Reform.

          Agreed on labours standing.

          But it is possible we will see some differences in 3rd party voting. Compared to past ones.

          The tories being in the low 20s. May mean tactical voting is less important to unhappy Labour voters. As tories winning if folks don’t support Labour is less of a threat.

          But many angry and loyal tory voters. May be thinking more about weakening Labour tactically.
