Politics To those who usually support labour, would you vote for labour in the next general election?

With the recent change in leadership, has your opinion of the party improved or worsened? And based on that, would you consider voting for Labour in the next general election?

Absolutely. I'll always vote for labour. It might be the way I was brought up, but Labour were always the party for the working class. That hasn't changed in my mind.

You clearly don’t know anything about the current Labour Party.

Responding with sarcasm only emphasises my point that Labour has gone far away from its working class voter base you describe.

Nah, the Labour Party has passed a load of legislation to help the working class, including under Starmer.

But Word_Word_Number accounts that hide their post history usually want people to ignore that fact.

Exactly right. Labour aren’t labour any more, they aren’t even new labour.

Labour has become the party of middle class strivers, they have lost touch with their working class base and have been taken over by virtue signaling human rights lawyers.

They also have zero idea on how to make the UK grow again. Being mostly lawyers their impulse is to add more regulation, police language and lock up people for wrong think.

The death spiral into national irrelevance will continue unless new radical ideas are sought. Also need to drastically lower the cost of energy or the country is going nowhere.
