Brits are seething as a new poll reveals that no political party is believed to treat the cost-of-living crisis as a top priority, leaving millions struggling with soaring bills
I think the only thing that matters for a future election is whether Labour will be willing to coalition with Greens and YP or whether they will give the election to the right to avoid letting the left have any semblance of power.
Nobody is going to get the numbers necessary, Reform and Tories are not going to be enough together, around 40%, Labour, YP and Greens should come out ahead between them but Labour will be the determining factor as to whether a coalition goes ahead or not.
Every CLP I’ve had experience with in the last year sees Reform as full fascists. They’re not even talking to each other within local councils, even the borough councillors. The leadership might be willing to do it but it would kill the party and I think they know it. In the 3 places I’ve got experience with they despise each other.
I actually wrote a lot more than this but I have to be intentionally vague here as local level stuff will absolutely dox me.
Constituency Labour Party - basically the local Labour organisations representing a specific area that’s designated one MP and parliamentary seat (if they win).
They’re ostensibly supposed to produce shortlists of candidates for MP nominees, operate the local level of democratic decision making in the party, but have been increasing repowered, overruled, or just straight up purged and astroturfed by Labour leadership.
Structural part of the labour party. They’re the hands of the party. Like branch offices in PSL etc, they control and carry out operations at the local level. Outside of legislation they’re where everything the party actually materially does happens.
Together, the Albanians and the Chinese make up a quarter of the world’s population —Enver Hoxha
which is true, but take out the Albanians, and the Chinese still make up a quarter. I.e. what WIIHAPPYFEW is saying is that one of these parties would be the major contributor to this coalition and the other is… potentially even unnecessary.

Labour are just copying Reform’s policies. I would sooner bet money on a Reform/Labour coalition than Green/Labour

Can’t even see Labour going in with Liberal Democrats either.
SDP is now totally redundant as terf Labour
I take it a YP/Green coalition is waaay too much to hope for?
China and Albania combined make up a fifth of the global GDP
I’ll admit that this has gone straight over my head. Can you elaborate please?

I can see an electoral pact happening
Unlikely that they’ll have enough without Labour.
I’ll fully admit I’m wishful thinking.
