Disastrous Night For Labour

[joggerjayne]

After the last Election, Labour told us (again and again and again, yaaawn) that the new Government had NO REAL MANDATE, coz they had received NO REAL MAJORITY from the electorate.

So the mid terms are where the voters traditionally boost the Opposition and kick the incumbent administration.

But only 32% bothered to turn out.

And Labour only got 39% of that 32%

So the Trots were only endorsed by 12% of the electorate.

Or, put another way, 88% of the population have rejected Labour.

By their own criteria, that was a disastrous night for Labour.

We did not have an election yesterday where I am.
At the last General Election, for precisely the reasons stated by MR at 1152, for the first time in my adult life I didn't vote, and at the moment there is still no-one worthy of support, imo.

That was not about the General Election result, that was about last years' local election which were bad for the Lib Dems.

Thanks for that AOG most interesting.
