This would have shifted politics in our country rightwards, which would have been even more disadvantageous to Labour, and it would have moved the government away from the… -

March 18, 2024 at 9:27 AM Replied to the thread General Election 2024.PostNo, it’s relevant. Voters want to express their disapproval of the mess the Conservatives have got themselves in, but they don’t relish the idea of Starmer’s Labour alternative either.
This dilemma people are facing may well produce a surprise outcome.… -

I agree with your first point. Only Truss could win in that situation if members of the party were to have a say.
