I reckon the 'populist' vote is up for grabs by either main party if it can capture the public's emotions and manipulate them.

Kier Starmer is not charismatic and there's no clear Labour message. But the way things are going right now, the Tories could become so unpopular that the next election could be 'theirs to lose' and nobody would believe anything they promise.
LOL didn't the Lib Dems say the same thing just about? worked out well for them. The populists have an end goal and we will reach it eventually, as people realise at a growing rate it is either us or more of the same. But then I am wise enough not to tell all.
Just because I don't say anything, it doesn't mean I haven't noticed!

Problem is, Starmer too now has a proven track record of lying to an electorate to get elected, them doing much the opposite having won. So why should anyone with any sense believe anything he promisers either?
We are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some of us have yachts. Some of us have canoes. Some of us are drowning.

You know the ole adage about not needing to be able to outrun the Bear.
You know how it is, the Bear has a had a couple of tasty morsels but the main event is lunch.

Where are you going to get your voters from then? because for sure the populists ain't going be voting for you and the Tories being about as much use as a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest don't make a blind bit of difference. Dumb as rocks or not.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
