Will say, it looks to me like their polls moved up because of Trump and Greenland mind

I am also aware of that yes. And yeah basically on current polls I think they're likeliest to wind up leading the next government

I am fully aware yes

And that the SDs has those numbers and still might win the next election also comes down to the fact that the majority of the left and centre left would prefer to vote for a party with some shade of mods pro immigration position. Which in a UK context is obviously more harmful

I mean I do generally agree with this view here too. It's just that I also don't think the SDs are doing amazingly well enough that even ignoring all that I'd say that the strategy shows itself to be some kind of unarguably genius one.

Is where the Democrats gone wrong letting a guy who keeps doing accidental antisemitism be a primary candidate

I'm glad at least one Wikipedian found the time to make this very necessary change in this time of chaos

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

Because I read the game as very hopeful, I always go with this one

But tbf, we should be patriotic, Labour are managing a pretty good example to the world on their own!

I mean they're also in an unnatural government that doesn't please anyone. Their coalition partners are fairing even worse

Hugh Gaitskell: I ran on an anti-ITV manifesto as a cautionary tale.
ITVX: At last, we have created the anti-ITV device from 1959’s Labour manifesto.

Also 'riding high' in this case is being on 22% in the polls, down from 27.5% at the last election which would constitute the SDs lowest level of support in a national election since 1903.
