Political Analysis UK

Introducing my UK Political Quadra chart. This is not based on how a politician/party is in policy, it's more about their strategy. British political strategy can be sorted onto 2 axes. One indicates stimulus vs austerity, meanwhile the other represents inclusion vs nationalism.

The @LibDems have called for a Universal Basic Income. Labour, the supposedly left-wing party have not. That's right, The Lib Dems just out-lefted Labour. If there's any time to stand for a Universal Basic income, now's the best time to do it. It shows how weak Starmer is.

Going into a second lockdown, but schools are staying open. You wonder why I can't take any of this seriously anymore. The government is keeping the biggest hotbed of new cases wide open.

@britainelects @YouGov That's good, but what's needed is strong policies. That's what I'm most concerned about, and so far Starmer doesn't have these policies. He's better than Johnson, but if he's a useless PM, we're going back to Toryville.

It's almost as if reopening schools was a BAD IDEA. twitter.com/i/events/13044…

The government banning countries due to the pandemic is the illusion of action. Cases are going up in the UK and the government isn't doing anything domestically.

Can someone tell me why I should have cared about Moran in the first place?

Woo. Riding the Davey Train! twitter.com/britainelects/…

Guess Northern Ireland is like... NOPE! We're not going through that too! twitter.com/i/events/12952…

@AndyShaw1 @Keir_Starmer If you want a current picture use cases. Deaths trail cases by up to a month.

I want to see children back at school next month and I expect the Prime Minister to deliver on that commitment. However, this commitment is now at serious risk after a week of chaos, confusion and incompetence from the Government.

@Iwontcalmdown @richardintheuk @Keir_Starmer You can more easily socially distance in a supermarket than a school classroom.

@PolAnalysisUK @richardintheuk @Keir_Starmer Oh, so no grown ups work in supermarkets then? 🙄

@RightOh1995 @Keir_Starmer Deaths trail cases by a few weeks. CASES are going UP.

@Keir_Starmer Schools can't even control the spread of nits, threadowrms, seasonal coughs and colds, chicken pox, winter vomiting bugs etc...

@Keir_Starmer I don't. Especially when you have an incompetent government that will turn the schools into a breeding ground for the pandemic, and the kids coming home and spreading it to their older, more vulnerable relatives.

@jmcorrigan0 @ElectionMapsUK @lloyd_dennis8 @Survation The Democratic party is the equivalent of our Conservative party. The Republican party is vastly off the scale here.

Westminster Voting Intention (16-18 year olds): LAB: 61% CON: 20% GRN: 7% LDM: 6% Via @Survation, 18-19 Aug.

These numbers are lower than Jeremy Corbyn's numbers with young people. At best, equal with his 2019 numbers. Far below his 2017 numbers with 18-19 year olds, where Corbyn got 66% of the vote. Proves my point, Starmer is losing the youth vote. twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK…

@ElectionMapsUK @Survation How does this compare to 2017 and 2019? 18-24 is 56-21 in 2019, 66-19 in 2017. These numbers really aren't impressive, especially since these people are younger than the voters in these two graphs.

@Keir_Starmer I agree. That's why we need a new leader. I think Margaret Greenwood could be a great leader. A founding member of @DefendourNHS, an anti-austerity alternative to the Tories.

We need a Prime Minister who is leading and a Cabinet that is functioning. At the moment we have neither.
