Exactly. The Tories missed a golden opportunity here. Mind you the anti Tory feeling throughout the country will mean there will be a feel good factor for most of the population going into the coronation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 5 May, 2023 Share Posted 5 May, 2023 Still waiting for the Southampton results, 212 of 230 councils have returned so far. Very much looking like it will remain as a Labour-led council though, but with a much bigger majority. 51 seats across 17 wards up for grabs, although Coxford was cancelled as one of the councillors and candidates died yesterday, so just voting on 48. Current standings: Labour 23, Tories 6 😆, LD 3, Green 1. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 5 May, 2023 Share Posted 5 May, 2023 (edited) And Sholing elected 33% of the Tory councillors. Has it had huge levelling up funds to improve it since I last visited friends and family (most of which have escaped by now) or is it just severely right wing? It’s like Saints fans thinking they should be top 4 every season, Bassett they ain’t. Edited 5 May, 2023 by saint1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolston and Thornhill’s poorer neighbour. Harefield also returned 3 of 3 Tory councillors. I was surprised when I looked before today to see how Tory it was, and remains so today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like Saints fans thinking they should be top 4 every season, Bassett they ain’t. I'm in the Bassett ward though I live at the top end of Shirley. All 3 Lib Dems were elected. They were very active in the weeks leading up to the poll with lots of leaflets and knocking on doors. Didn't hear a word from the Tories, no literature, no visits and now no Councillors (in Bassett). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millbrook and Peartree also elected the other three Tory councillors, although Peartree two-thirds non Tory now so getting there. Millbrook must be glutton for punishment.

He was being interviewed on TV about the important things the public want to hear about, the five pledges and going on about stopping the small boats. Not long after Dover fell to Labour. He is delusional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 6 May, 2023 Share Posted 6 May, 2023 Not sure the five pledges resonate with many. Just sounds like they have all been told to rattle them off constantly when interviewed. Think too many of these comms advisors are just trying to copy Cummings approach of repeat repeat to the dumb masses. Funny as Tory base so out of touch and think everyone thinks when seeing their massive energy bill and hike in mortgage payments, if only the government could stop those damn boats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 6 May, 2023 Share Posted 6 May, 2023 It's just style over substance, parroted soundbites aimed at the easily-led, but when even Dover doesn't buy the Stop the Boats nonsense, the game is up. We need policies and action right now, not shallow slogans and pathetic distractions. Too many dead cats, not enough quality at the top - we've just endured the least-talented and most corrupt couple of cabinets in living memory. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My constituency has always been rock solid Tory. Part of the blue wall with some prominent Tory ex MPs. The district council has the same boundaries as the parliamentary constituency. There are 36 District Councillors. After yesterday only 1 of these is a Conservative. God help the Tories if this voting pattern is typical of the blue wall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 6 May, 2023 Share Posted 6 May, 2023 Tories are reaping the 'disasters' of the Johnson/Truss eras just as they benefitted from red wall voters turning against Corbyn. In my view Labour are pretty well odds on the be the leading party at the next election but may not have enough votes for an overall majority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest danger for the Tories now is that they follow the anti woke, tax cutting agenda of the likes of Rupert Lowe, JRM, John Redwood etc. The majority of people didn't vote for Progressive parties (Labour, Lib Dem, Green ) because the Tories were not sufficiently right wing. Most people are more concerned about the state of public services and their inability to find an NHS dentist than about an alternative name for the Brecon Beacons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 7 May, 2023 Share Posted 7 May, 2023 Just seeing the Culture Secretary interviewed. Marked improvement on that nutter Dorries but again one just seeming to remember her lines. Anyway as our great political sage LD opines all they need to do is focus on crime, immigration and wokeness and they will be sorted. Connect with the public.

Yep, if they follow the anti-Sunak voices eg Truss at al and the IEA/Taxpayers Alliance/Tufton blob, they will end up sub-150 seats and possibly not much over 100 at the next and future GEs. The ex-Labour Brexit voters won’t want that stuff, they didn’t 40 years ago and it decimated their communities. Rishi is their only route to limiting the damage and getting back in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a party so fragmented amazing they have had 13 years of power. Brexit was only due to the nutters in that party, no groundswell of public opinion until started being fed constant bullshit they believed. Fact that they can’t seem to agree how to stop haemorrhaging votes is amusing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
