Labour win by default as the Tories are at the end of their political cycle.

Not a good place for Labour supporters to admit
That neil, your own party won't be supported
But people will vote against tories.
I think lib dems ,greens at could also benefit

You couldn't make it up
Party destroying itself
Whilst Labour becoming less appealing each day

Crazy thing is when we look back, Tories didn't press the self destruct button on policy, rather, they just lost the plot in terms of behaviour and common decency. That continues at pace.

re #646: '... unlikely to vote... unlikely to vote... won't vote... '
It's happening. Too late, but it's happening.

I think turnout has been going down each election so nothing new

Labour likely to get into number ten
But apathy will be the larger winner

Whatever your political affiliations, you have to admit it's cleverly made (and rather amusing).

Presenter: 'Our next guest is Keith Sansum, Emeritus Professor of Unsurprising Responses at Rinse and Repeat University. Professor, based on your considerable experience in observing elections not just in the UK but around the world over a career lasting decades, what would you say are the reasons for the increasingly poor turnout figures.'
Prof.: 'Apathy'.
Presenter: 'Thank you for your insight, Professor. And now the weather.'

The missing headline: '
Labour elected on paltry percentage'.
Tamworth, Labour 16.4% of electorate (
i.e. 83.6% DNV for the 'winning' candidate)
Mid-Beds, Labour 15% of electorate (
i.e. 85% DNV for the 'winning' candidate)
We have a legitimacy crisis.

Weird (with others likes)
It still find it amusing according to you it's wrong for me to hold an opinion even if correct
But it's quite ok for your opinion to be on here without question
Often you say much the same but that's ok and a valued opinion ?

The two byelections were huge swings to Labour. A resounding message that it's time for change.
