Labour Party even worse. People have to start voting REFORM to get our country back.only party worth voting for.
@thesmithersy
December 18, 2023 at 4:11 am
That;s what happens when you have an unelected leader chosen by default by a selection of MPs and don't even give the party membership a chance to vote after your MPs backstabbed and forced out the party membership's elected choice. They should have kept Boris.

@GreySwordsman-gy2qt
December 18, 2023 at 4:11 am
I wonder if this is going to become a trend with party politics, the Tories and Labour switching every 13 years or so, just a thought when ovserving from Blair to Gordon was about 13 years and from Cameron to Sunak another 13 years. From all the data I can see Labour is set to retake the commons with a comfortable majorty. Just a thought anyways.
@EndellionQT

Tactical voting and the Tories being shit. Expect a whitewash (or redwash) in the next General Election.

@willforest5302
December 18, 2023 at 4:11 am
Labour didn't win. The conservatives lost their base. You might not agree but conservatives in this country belive that the conservative party are far too left wing to be someone we want to vote for.
@sneakyrodent1853
December 18, 2023 at 4:11 am
Well, having an installed leader isn't a great start.
@kumasenlac5504
December 18, 2023 at 4:11 am
Because the current Tory Party is indistiguishable from the wet end of the Labour Party. No need to vote – The Blob and the WEF will still run the country (into the ground). The Augean Swamp needs a Hercules and has to make do with a Chipmunk.

They lied about bringing immi(gration under control. They let immigration rip even worse than Labour do, which is amazing considering that Labour puts Foreigners First )

Didn't nobody really want Rishi in office? He was really undemocratically put into place iirc
@OldSpudHead
December 18, 2023 at 4:11 am
Couple of errors in the video.
Pincher was not “expelled” from his seat, he was banned from parliament for a fixed term, at which point he resigned. Expelling an MP would be an extremely serious issue and would involve jail time or bankruptcy.
The Lib Dem’s are not a left wing party, they split the “progressive” vote, not the “left” vote.

What on earth is it with other democratic systems holding elections on any day other than a Saturday? Especially when voting is optional? Not voting in the weekend, and not giving a day off for voters, is just asking for some level of voter disenfranchisement.

Because he wasn’t elected by the membership so no conservatives bothered to vote
