UK General Election 2024

I know my views on British politics are quite naive, but our FPTP voting system now seems childishly simple-minded, anyway. 

GB parliament desperately needs PR, and compulsory voting, to ensure that democracy in government is fit-for-purpose in the 21st century.

This list is not a prediction of any sort, it's just a few things that I really want to see happen, next week. Like lights turned on at the end of the dystopian tunnel...      

7 Signs of Hope:

  • Labour gets super-majority with 400+ MPs in Parliament
  • Tories crushed to less than 100 seats
  • Liberals win more seats (150+?) than Tories to become official Opposition party
  • Greens win 4 or 5+ seats (including IOW East, if that’s not too much to ask?)  
  • Corbyn wins against Labour (Starmer is proved wrong) for Islington North   
  • Richy Sunk losing his MP seat, so he can't remain Tory leader 
  • No seats won by Reform party, not even Clacton
