My worst fear is not a Tory comeback but a lurch in more radical and populist direction if Labour fail to start visibly turning things around after the first term. It’s unrelated to expect many if any first term miracles considering the state the country is in, but people are going to need to feel some sort of progress to stop the frustration boiling over.
This is going to be a real problem - because the Daily Mail and such will be screaming that all the problems are still there 6 months later - never mind that they’ve taken 14 years to put in place. People like my ignorant and racist sister in law, whose answer to the issue of migrants is to ‘Just shoot them’. These people really do just open their mouths and let the bile pour out. She’d never vote Labour as they are too common. Unfortunately there are plenty like her about. Totally selfish and only concerned with themselves and showing off to their friends.
