Once the hoo-haa settles on local elections (that no-one in Scotland voted in — slight problem when you’re feverishly trying to extrapolate piss poor turn out into a General Election results map, eh?) even Beth Rigby is sounding crestfallen that Starmer has fucked up her chance to break a ‘landslide for our times’ prediction.
Starmer could still piss away the General Election. He’s so awful no one’s actively running too him — he’s winning because the Tories are staying home or voting Lunatic.
Today’s consensus analysis as the #LocalElections dust settles…
EVEN faced with the most corrupt and loathed Conservative Government Britain has ever suffered, Starmer still isn’t gaining enough votes to win even a single seat majority in Parliament at #GE2024
His revolting position backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and generally him just being a Tory not all that attractive to anyone progressive, bar the tribally blinkered it seems.
@Andy_European I agree with the analysis that says #starmer will really struggle with both turn-out and rejection of his gaza 'policy' among other failings
However, extrapolating from an English local election (in some areas only) to a general election is a huge stretch
The lib-dems wont get the same support as they do locally and there will probably be far fewer independents - and turnout will probably still be historically low but higher than thursday
