It took the West Country and Scottish Border
Tories 20years to wipe out the Lib Dems even without their ‘Glory Grab’ that
led to the LibDem brand being poisoned by their Conservative partners in
coalition office, but panic among the Tories from the former ‘Yellow Wall’
zones in England and the news that Nigel Farage is planning a new ‘Reform UK
party to steal the ultra right and in the words of the mainstream press ‘Tory
hard brexit voting nasty party Psychopaths' and Keir Starmer’s popularity
rising faster and gelling well with the voting public in the former ‘Red Wall’
Constituencies illustrates that Britain is turning away from chronic neo
liberalism towards a much more level playing field which can be understood and
recognised as fair and honest.
The noise from Farage will see those who would lie on the rail tracks to halt immigration, even though DNA shows that very few are actually English and that the melting pot of constant immigration from Europe and beyond has been going on for over 2000 years plus doesn’t seem to bother them. They will rally to the flag and steal the show from under Boris Johnson’s feet just after the effects of his granite style Brexit begins to dawn on the English public.
The 2021 Local Government Elections, leaves the door open for traditional parties led by two knights of the realm, Sir Keir Starmer and Sir Ed Davey, people who are showing strength and honesty to the voting public to regain the broader middle ground lost to the Tory spin machine which pours out short bile tainted statements. The reliance by the Tories on ‘Logo Politics’ which allowed the English public to be suppressed by Austerity measures for the last 10 years has spun its web in the wrong direction letting Labour and the LibDems popularity to grow massivley Growth that will continue through the forthcoming period which will see England sail in the calmer waters after the storms of populist extremism brought on by the bigotted have begun to fade.
Although Labour are easing away in the polls which contain the question ‘Who would you like to see as the next prime minister/ the Local barometer polls in the Red and Yellow wall areas tell a different tale with Labour pulling miles ahead in the North and Midlands and support for the LibDems growing rapidly in the West Country and the Scottish Borders. Both parties are showing strength in coastal communities who feel let down by the Tories where job losses through Covid 19 and hard Brexit will paralyse tourism and the fishing industry who rely on those tourists to eat their catches. Both Labour and the LibDems have investments in environmental improvements ingrained into their new policies which will lead those areas towards much stronger job prospects and the return to a more level playing field from their new party bases in Local Government from next May.
