Labour voters back doctors over five-day strike and think Wes Streeting should meet pay demands
Labour voters support junior doctors’ plans to stage a five-day walkout next week, even as public support for the strike collapses, according to a new poll.
Overall people oppose the industrial action due to start next Friday by a margin of 44 per cent to 34 per cent, pollsters More in Common found.
However, Labour voters support the strikes, with 47 per cent in favour and 35 per cent against, in a major challenge to the stance taken by the health secretary Wes Streeting who has vociferously pressed doctors’ leaders to ditch their plans.
Yet another broad hint that incompetent voters should be included in the broader social and political incompetence mix.
To say this is not to say that one side is right and the other wrong, or that there are lines professional people such as doctors should not cross, even though there are such lines. The problem here is voters who among other shibboleths, effectively vote for an NHS which cannot be reformed in any worthwhile sense.
