I do want to believe that most Brits are centrists, but if Labour doesn't fix the economy in 4 years then there's a risk that Reform grow, but I feel like it's just as likely a bunch of people stupidly go back to Tories, Lol. This country basically has a two party system and people will see how useless it is to vote for Reform considering how few seats they get, and also how Reform are fucking useless themselves, Farage spends more time in America than his own constituency, and they'll go scurrying back to Tories who will promise fixing the economy.

But Keir better get his ass in gear and stop that from happening. He has 4 years.

On my island we are (IoM), as well as being multi-cultural (the only right leaning folks we have are the leftover boomers and some Gen X). I don't trust labour to fix the issues, mainly because they didn't really fix the Tories last few blunders back in 2010 and even after that. They say they'll make good changes or reverse the bad legislations and try to reform, but they just cannot decide on what to work with first and seeing it through to it's end (remember Ed Miliband and how he went about his tenure?, same with Gordon Brown).

The problem is, Labour is just spent/acting like a headless chicken, while Tories have all the connections and the money to wait it out each tenure. 

I fear even if they know what they're doing 4 years won't be enough, it'd be wild though that Tories can spend 14 years screwing up the economy but Labour only gets given 4 to fix it, Lol. I know that's what is likely to happen though! Keir should also realise that a large part of this was a protest vote against Tories and voters can easily swing back to Tories.

I'm going to remain open-minded for now, it's all I have left, Lol. I'll see where we are in 2 years from now, not for like "oh everything is fixed!" but a notable steady line of improvement will be good for me, it's going to take a lot to undo the shitshow the UK is in right now.
