which party would win if a UK general election was called today?

Answer 1

I still think Labour would have the edge over the Tories (thank god!) but with their current unpopularity, there'd probably be a swung government.

Labour would probably have to form a coalition with the Lib Dems (which would be good, in my opinion) but the Lib Dems would also be able to form one with the tories and they'd then have the majority.

It's scary to think the tories might get in again. I know labour aren't doing the best job, but hey, has everyone forgotten the Thatcher years??????

Answer 2

If a general election was called today in the UK, the campaign would last four weeks. Based on the last general election, the final vote shares on election night would be:

Con 35% (+2% on Election 2005)
Lab 32% (-4% on Election 2005)
Lib Dem 21% (-2% on Election 2005)
Others 12% (+4% on Election 2005)

which would give a House of Commons looking something like this:

Labour 299 seats
Conservatives 262 seats
Liberal Democrats 56 seats
Others 33 seats

The result would mean that no one party had a majority in the House of Commons and therefore a coalition government would have to be formed or a new general election held.

Answer 3

It has to be the Conservatives, Great Britain can't take another dose of Brown/Blairism.

New Labours record is appalling. From the Eccleston affair, Blairs holidays, pants down Prescott, Mandelsons mansion, the Hinduja's, the Indian steel magnet and his donations, "a good day to hide bad news", Blunketts women, the Berlisconi connection, cash for Peerages etc etc. I'm sure you can all add to the list. And all this before we look at the dishonesty of stealth taxes, the hollowing out of the NHS, imaginary Weapons of Mass Destruction and the farrago at the Home Office.

Only one thing could banjax a Conservative victory. If to many people on the right vote for UKIP, BNP, NF etc and split the anti-Labour vote. These Parties should be known as "Dysons", Labour saving devices.

Answer 4

hi i will vote labour through fact they basically agree that investment in public provider is mandatory for society. i'm from a foul section if south London and over the final ten years I even have seen actual substitute that's all as end results of the labour incestmnt. The terrible council property substitute into replaced by good residences. i've got faith that if human beings stay in sturdy situations they sense greater self incredibly worth and could behave better. The tax credit scheme has allowed many undesirable single mums to come again to artwork, despite if their earning have been low. we've had record investment in education, wellbeing, police and the defense force. Society has definately better below labour.. it incredibly is easy. we've much less poverty, decrease crime and better standards of residing. I difficulty that the Tories will opposite all this super artwork... It seeks like they gained't shrink spending too lots so possibly i'm incorrect. yet a conservative by definition needs a tiny state and that i've got faith a small state is yet in any different case of asserting 'your on your individual regardless if your challenge'

Answer 5

I think Labour would win, but not because they are the best liked but because there are no other decent options available. The Tories haven't yet put forward any concrete policies, so we don't know what they may do- and the Lib Dems are yet to gain substantial support.

Still, going on charisma only- maybe the Tories might win.

Or maybe Labour may win, with a VERY small majority and have to form a coalition with the Lib Dems!

Answer 6

People may not have forgotten the Thatcher years, but invoking her merely indicates that you have forgotten the years *before* her. You know, when rubbish piled up high in the streets, people weren't buried, the three day week.

Oh, wait, you don't know, do you.

That is why it took a generation for Labour to get back in. The way they're going right now it should be another two at least before they're back in.

Answer 7

I think that for all its evil, New Labour has a significant edge over Blue Labour. The Conservative Party is so pathetic in its eagerness to sacrifice principles and policies in exchange for popular appeal that it is not worthy of its name.

Answer 8

With the present immigration problems, I would think UKIP or even the BNP, especially now that some Muslims in the UK are planning to kidnap and kill random none Muslim "Innocent" people, that I am afraid is going to cause a lot of trouble for Muslims in the UK.

Answer 9

With the prospect of Gordon Brown as P.M. I recon that the Conservatives would win, The Thatcher years didn't do me any harm, and with William Haig at the ready, who knows what would happen? I think it's worth a try, and get rid of this bunch of self seeking wasters!

Answer 10

This country is in a mess and I don't blame Labour, I blame the halfwits that voted them in. BNP should win.
