well like any sensible person i vote by post oh and i have never voted Tory and i cannot think of any circumstance that would change that but you do seemed to have missed the fact that older voters are more likely to exercise the right to vote whatever the weather and that demographic are predominately Tory voters hence winter better bet for the Tories
I think the point is a good one. They need to get their vote out. It's exactly the same in America. Biden will lose bcos his voters are disilusioned and many won't be voting. That's what will fck him up. I think the weather may help Rishi but more importantly they'll be banging the drum about the economy turning, to get their traditional voters out.
I think you're taking the idea that people physically waddle themselves down to the booth a bit too literal. You're also putting far too much weight onto the Tory base. But we obviously aren't discussing the Tory base voters are we, we are discussing the huge middle ground that Labour are currently dominating. Those voters statistically are more likely to be OK with an incumbent government during the summer months as opposed to the winter ones. That's mostly due to psychological effects on you when the weather is ****ing **** and therefore everything feels worse - and the fact people will be feeling a sudden extreme pinch on their bills when everyone needs to crank their leccy back up. Now, people are chirpier and the economy seems OK in the papers, these Tories are doing OK says some folk.
Nope. The tories are not doing okay, only fools would think a drop in inflation means they are better off. only a fool would give these lot another 4-5 years to **** up and divide a nation.
You know for a fact someone in no. 10 told Sunak to go out and stand in the rain to look hard. Boris Johnson would have acknowledged the rain and the only get better music and turned it into a chuckle moment. Sunak isn't anywhere near Boris' level.
