  • Rishi Sunak and the conservatives have discredited themselves. Britain needs a Labour government.

    New Statesman Editor-in-Chief, Jason Cowley, joins Rachel Cunliffe and George Eaton to explain why we’re encouraging readers and listeners to vote Labour, or indeed to vote tactically in order to remove the Conservatives.
    In 2019 the New Statesman refused to endorse Labour under Jeremy Corbyn. Jason and George explain what’s changed and why Keir Starmer should be the next prime minister.
    As George Eaton, who wrote the first draft of the endorsement and also joins the podcast, puts it: “the precondition for a better Britain is the removal of the Conservatives from office.”

    If you feel like a Labour and Tory vote is the same thing that's absolutely fair and I'm not going to argue otherwise. What I would suggest is that fully and completely ending the tories dismantles the entire 2 party system and yes that means labour will have a huge majority but it will also force so much pressure for electoral reform and for a upending of what has been 2 person pass the parcel which has been our status quo for generations. It's a chance for actual change. Reform voters, Lib Dems and Green all agree on electoral reform. Any of these parties becoming the next opposition over the tories fundementally changes the game. Don't just end the tories out of spite. do it to take the UK out of it's endless political rutt.

      From where I am, Spain, our electoral system has circumscriptions with several seats that are allocated proportionally to the vote share in the area. The complains about the political system are not absente here, people complain that the parties have too much power because they make the lists who can run in each circumscription. And because our politics are very polarized parties still behave has right wing block and left wing block.
      I am saying all of this to communicate that electoral reform is not necessarily a complete solution to the UKs problems.

    I really want to believe that Labour can address the myriad crises facing Britain - economic depression, soaring inequality, crumbling public services, rising corruption, ageing population, local government, social care and education in collapse, increasing polarisation and most importantly the climate catastrophe which is bearing down upon us with terrifying speed, but their entire campaign has been based on the principle that they will not make any meaningful changes and will only tinker around the edges in order to be seen as a safe pair of hands.
    If you look around the world, there are many countries with similar problems to Britian, who have had similar governments to the one we will no doubt get next week. In Australia, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, America and many more countries, there have been centrist, cautious, unambitious, prevaricating governments in power who promise only superficial change and refuse to address the underlying causes of societies problems for fear of upsetting the establishment. Almost universally, people in these countries have turned to radical right wing populism in their disappointment.
    As the Tories collapse, the perfect environment exists for Reform to capture the right-wing of British politics as Le Pen has done in France.
    Labour is pinning everything on huge economic growth, which has been the Tory strategy for the past 14 years and has failed miserably and with Brexit and the world as it is today the conditions for such growth are decidedly worse than in 2010. In five years time they will be in for a very rude awakening indeed.
    Nothing Labour has said has made me believe that they make this country a better place, so I will be voting Green.

      Definitely agree. The Starmer wing likes to call more radical change naïve or unserious but the trajectory of the UK and the wider world is crises of environment, inequality, housing, demographics and migration. These require bold long-term policies not 'more of the same but without the incompetence and corruption'.
      I don't know if Labour leadership realise this but see no other way to power or they genuinely don't understand that New Labour style politics cannot solve these problems.
      The Greens have major issues but I'll probably vote for them too. The Tory/Labour 2 party system needs to end.

    I’m 100% voting the tories out …but… I’m a Labour supporter in a safe Conservative seat. My vote doesn’t count in the FPTP system. In my opinion many hardcore tory fans would rather vote Reform than vote for Labour. Reform are literally the right wing of the tories and people here think Labour are just Arthur Scargill and Jeremy Corbyn. Therefore I reckon my best bet here is to vote tactically. By voting for Reform because I’m guessing they have more chance of winning this constituency than Labour.

      'stop the boats' has become an unpleasant chant under the Tories but stop them we must and sort out asylum claims, we must. Angela Rayner spoke well on this yesterday. Starmer and others talk about the importance of processing those who are in limbo here in hotels. They always mention how accepted claims will lead to individuals being able to work and pay tax - great. The problem I foresee is housing. If two thirds of claims are rightly upheld, where will they live? And can you imagine the headlines when a deserving asylum claimant is awarded a bedsit before a deserving veteran or young family? As 'rooms for Ukranians' worked well, perhaps a short term solution before housing is built, would be 'Rooms for successful asylum claimants' with some funding that is significantly less than hotel costs?

    The Labour Party's position is that FPTP is toxic and harmful to people's trust in politics. Destroying the Tories is a prize enough in itself but I would argue that giving Labour a ridiculous majority is not actually something to fear (as in practical terms it's little different from a 'normal/healthy' majority); I believe it would help accelerate the need for electoral reform. A party getting 60%-70% of seats from around 35% of the vote cannot be tolerated. I encourage everyone to vote tactically against the Tories in every last seat - it is NOT a foregone conclusion.
