Labour’s incompetence exposes their election strategy
- This Government has reached levels of unpopularity that it took the Tories all of 14 years to attain
- With depressing predictability, Labour demonstrate their ideological incoherence and political incompetence
- Labour are relying on their party seeming the least incompetent of the bunch by 2029
I don’t want to come over all Shawshank Redemption, but 412 days have passed since Labour were elected last year. A lot can happen in that time. I’m informed by Google’s inbuilt AI system that one could theoretically have run 366 marathons. A child could have been conceived with some months left over to start raising the thing. You could even have mastered intermediate-level Spanish. Yet what Labour have managed to achieve in their first year and a bit in Government eclipses even these admirable pursuits. In just over a year, Keir Starmer’s regime has reached levels of unpopularity that it took the Tories all of 14 years to attain.
The whole piece is well worth reading as a reminder of just how predictably incompetent Sir Keir Starmer's government has become.
There is nothing whatever to suggest that Starmer or Labour are capable of turning it round either. We have reached a stage where no sane person expects anything better and deep pessimism has become the rational outlook.
With depressing and unceasing predictability, Labour demonstrate both their deep ideological incoherence and political incompetence. With its approval ratings in the gutter, Reform UK surging ahead in the polls and ‘Jezbollah’ hot on its heels, the Government is relying on one of two outcomes come 2029.

Again, the emphasis is on the Liebour Pratty but let's not forget to spotlight those who voted them in.
It is extremely unlikely but consider a change to the UK election system. Each elector gets two votes, one *for* a candidate and one *against* a candidate. The winning candidate has the most 'net' votes.
If we this available in the last General Election there might have been just as big a vote *against* the Conservatives but the *for* votes could have bypassed a Labour 'landslide' returning a more nuanced result.
Not quite proportional representation (which has its own problems) but being able to vote *against* is something a lot of people might value.
The Jannie is right … it’s those who pulled this off who need to be tried … Two Tier is just the vehicle.
Jannie - I agree, too many voters can't do competent voting.
DJ - that sounds interesting - yes it could allow a more nuanced result. Disillusioned Conservative voters might have voted for Reform and against Labour. The incompetence of political parties would still be an issue though, and the incompetence of voters.
James - yes, 'stooge' seems to be written all the way through him.
