The thing is this, what is the alternative at the voting booth next year. I couldn’t contemplate voting for Starmer and his bunch of cretins to form Government. Better the cretins we know than jump into an even deeper pond.
Nope. Your cretins have had 13 years and only made everything worse. At some point even the dopiest, most blinkered Tory has to realise it's time to try something else. crankedup5 said:

I struggle to see how government formed by any of the other major parties could possibly be worse than the last few years of Tory administration, and I say that as a previous Tory voter. It's reached a point where I'd honestly toss a coin to choose between Rishi Sunak or Carla Denyer for PM. I'm sure there's a famous saying about how doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of madness.

They know that failure equals a wipe out in the next G.E.
They're going to get wiped out next GE anyway, regardless of whether their small boats policy works (which it won't). Vanden Saab said:
Not if Starmer carries on the way he has been
The current voting intention polling has only been going one way, and not the way you seem to think. I think it extremely unlikely that even a roaring success in stopping small boats- which I think is vanishingly rare as a possibility, most experts seem to think it will have absolutely no impact at all- will measurably affect the Tories' fortunes. Their rhetoric on the subject hasn't benefitted them in polls, despite their insistence it's a highly popular policy. Edited by HM-2 on Wednesday 22 March 07:27

After how many years of incompetence does that become untrue for you?(I know the answer is ‘never’ sadly, but always funny to hear people justify voting for a party literally laughing at them)

Labour’s lead down 10 points in latest poll.
The latest polling I can see is Redfield Wilton, which has labour with a 21% lead (47% versus 26%). That's not down 10 of anything, and is truly enormous. The Delta Poll that the "Labour only has a 10% lead" claim is based on seems to very much be an outlier. 86 said:

So only around a week after agreeing to abide by its editorial guidelines until the BBC's review is complete it seems Gary Lineker has published another political tweet (doesn't mention Boris by name but I think the timing makes it pretty clear who he's referring to!):
https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/16381527493...
Again many (including me) will agree with what he said - and defend as a principal his right to speak out - but nevertheless it does rather smack of sticking-up two fingers at the BBC and not complying with the spirit of an agreement he supposedly reached only a matter of days ago. Although I like him as a presenter - and agree with a lot of what he says in his tweets - he's starting to give the impression of someone who thinks he can do as he likes because he's become too big to be sanctioned (and that's not a good look IMO).
