UK General Election 2029 - Trading ONLY thread

Braveman joins Reform and receives an amazing welcome. And now there are 8 And how nice it is to see two brilliant public speakers who don't need reams of notes to keep referring to (no names of course!).

I think it's a fastinating market and a fastinating election.

Labour have lost it already and will surely hit the panic button at some point. Reform have the momentum but not the team. Conversatives need to do a lot of work to be relevant.

Labour will hang on for as long as they can. They won't call a GE until 2029. I think something extraordinary will need to happen for a GE before then......but 3 years is a very long time in politics, much can happen between now and then, especially with regards to Reform and Greens rise

It's interesting to see the surge in the greens. Before I even looked at the stats, I knew they would appeal to younger voters, as their policies are pure fantasy. Younger people haven't built the cynicism and battle scars, and don't realise politicians will say anything to get your vote.

I do think politicians should bear some moral hazard for their decisions. Also, it's incredible somebody can walk in off the street and get a £500k contract with no experience or qualifications.

I often feel the whole system is broken and geared to the wrong outcomes.

Trouble is those with the power and ability to change it are the ones enjoying it!

Great news ... Starmer has negotiated that outboard engines from China will have to be stamped "not for use in the English Channel". How can he possibly lose the next GE with that on his side!

[ForFolksSake]

Johnson, Hancock, Cummings destroyed the Tories

.... Starmer, Mandelson, Rayner destroyed Labour

Yeah but I hate to think what Rayner could do with that majority!

All the Labour MPs have clearly been told to wax lyrical all over social media about how they have just voted to remove the two-child cap, and that the evil Farage plans to bring it back.

Yet the common consensus with the proletariat seems to be in favour of the cap! Another spectacular own goal...

When will they start listening to what the people actually want, rather than what they think the people should want.

Seems like they're trying to go more left, but those people have already gone to the Greens so they're just making it so much worse.

You could argue that the only thing stopping them having a wipeout is that they've got so many incumbents, but its really hard to see them keeping that many.
