Davkaus Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 A long way to go, but that's a hell of a shift in just a week. Things are going from "absolutely impsosible" to merely "quite unlikely". https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-poll-wales-general-election-2017-16-point-shift-swing-a7749786.html Quote Labour support surges in Wales with 16-point shift towards Jeremy Corbyn's party First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones PA Archive/PA Images Support for Labour has surged in Wales, with a massive 16-point shift in support towards Jeremy Corbyn's party, the latest poll shows. A poll by YouGov just two weeks ago showed Welsh Labour trailing Theresa May's party, but a stunning reversal now puts Labour 10 points ahead. The YouGov Welsh political barometer has Labour on 44 per cent up 9 per cent on two weeks ago and the Tories on 34 per cent down 7 per cent. The shift comes after the launch of Labour's manifesto, which included popular policies such as nationalising the railways, energy grid, and water companies, as well as rent controls and taxes on the richest five per cent of earners. The Conservatives have also had a nightmare week after a poor reception to their planned so-called "Dementia Tax" care policy. The party has moved up in the national UK-wide polls in recent weeks but still trails the Conservatives by around 10 points, depending on the poll in question. The dramatic turnaround in Wales will give Labour hope they can achieve a similar transformation in UK-wide polls. The regular Welsh poll was jointly commissioned by ITV Cymru Wales and Cardiff University’s Wales Governance Centre. The poll would see Labour hold all its seats in Wales and take one off the Conservatives, Gower, the most marginal seat in the country. It has top-line voting intention figures of LAB: 44% (+9) CON: 34% (-7) PC: 9% (-2) LDEM: 6% (-1) UKIP: 5% (+1). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I'm looking forward to Monday, when May has to come out of hiding and share a stage with Corbyn. No direct debate, because she's a coward and knows she's out of her depth, but I can't see her coming out of it unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I mean, the negative of looking at this is that the Tories still lead by precisely the same amount amongst those who vote but Labour are doing better amongst those who won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. It's all well and good having #GrimeforCorbyn and turning up at a libertines gig, but to have a cat in hells chance he needs millions of these feckers to get out and vote. I'm not convinced they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xela Posted May 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think its great if Labour can claw as much ground back as possible. The worst thing for the country would be a government with a huge majority. Whoever wins, we need a strong opposition. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockingbird_franklin Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Seems like The Tory's are getting so worried they have to steal and add a watered down Corbyn pledge to their manifesto and give people an extra day off work a year, don't get too excited as it will not be a paid day off like Corbyns extra bank Holidays. Monday 22 May 2017 by Andrew Tories to allow day off work to leave elderly relative on mountain-top for vultures The Conservative Party has today made a manifesto pledge to guarantee workers one day off work each year in order to drag a sick or elderly relative to a mountain-top to be eaten alive by vultures. Simon Williams, a spokesman for the party said, “More and more workers are having to care for ageing parents, and employers are putting pressure on them not to take time off work “But with this manifesto promise, Britain’s workers will not have to risk losing their jobs for disposing of a relative they could no longer afford to feed, keep warm or buy medication for. “This pledge guarantees them time off work to provide end-of-life care for a relative by enshrining in law their right to a full 24 hours to drag their loved one’s still living body up a mountainside to be consumed by scavengers. “This pledge also demonstrates our commitment to protecting endangered species, i.e. vultures.” The spokesman added, “This day off will of course be unpaid. We can’t expect employers or the state to shoulder that burden.” http://newsthump.com/2017/05/22/tories-to-allow-day-off-work-to-leave-elderly-relative-on-mountain-top-for-vultures/ Edited May 22, 2017 by mockingbird_franklin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
