    With the Tories mired in poor polling and an election imminent in 2024, many have written off Sunak's chances of being re-elected. But how is the incumbent Prime Minister planning on turning his fortunes around with the electorate? And could it even work?

    No. No, he can't. Governments of all kinds have expiry dates and the Tories are well past theirs. When the great mass of people have decided they've had enough of you, you can't get it back.
    The life span of most governments is usually 2 to 3 terms or somewhere in the 8 to 12 year range. Once you get to that stage, the failures and scandals have built up to the point that people are just tired of you. Likewise, the failures and scandals of the previous government are usually far enough in the past that they've been largely forgotten and a lot of the faces have changed so they look fresh and eager.
    You can try all of the new tricks you want but you'll only give an impression of a government lost and flailing about without purpose and you won't be taken seriously. The people won't really care what you do, they'll just want to see the back of you.

      It's no sure thing, people may loathe the Tories, but at the same time, the electorate is very conservative in the UK, a lot of people blame the problems on Labour anyway, despite Tories being in power for nearly a generation.
      Tory party is a cult over there, and they will have a way better election result than you think, I predict a very narrow loss.
      Ultimately it doesn't matter, unlike Tories, voters punishes Labour when things don't go right.
      So, after one term where they are unable to clean up all the problems, Tories will sweep back in for another generation.

    I find the idea that Sunak would win a TV debate with Starmer questionable.Two reasons:
    1 Starrmer rose through the ranks as a prosecutor to get the top job with the CPS. This is a career where the most important skill is your ability to make convincing arguments and rhetoric to win your case - he is vastly experienced in this field and will have prepared answers to Sunaks questions.
    2 He won a debate with Liz Truss who is in many peoples opinion unusually inept at public speaking for a politician (she still beat Sunak in the leadership contest though) so its hard to see the logic that this proves Sunak is somehow the king of debates, particularly when you consider that his business before he came recently into politics six years ago was working out how to manipulate banking systems to gamble money for profit - market trading is undoubtedly a skill but not one that involves convincing an audience.

However they just have this stupid vision that labour is the benefits party. Until last year I believe labour had the best unemployment figures compared to Tory and if we look even further back under say thatcher unemployment was horrific. We look at our GDP and was in a far better position under labour and we also look at borrowing which was half at the worst under labour than current Tory government. Labour even had a year we were in the black. Then we look at NHS investment which goes on a constant slope under labour and then flattens out completely come 2010. Inflation has risen and our population has far increased but money hasn't so the money per person is actually far less. All this information is so easy to find but no people get stuck in this way that I vote for this person I don't care.

      @@HA05GER Not caring, which I presume means not voting, is the worst thing you can do (or fail to do).
      Every citizen is affected by the political choices made, It isn't just yourself you are letting down. You are upset by the horrific increase in poverty, with accompanying rickets and other related diseases. Yet your vote could be the one that sees local elections and GEs swing under control of humane majorities.
      Your vote is the most significant thing you will ever have. Forget the house, the car etc. No single item in your life (apart from your children) will ever be priceless. Your vote is. People starved, were tortured died, all to gain the right to bring about a more just society. Don't waste that.
      Vote.
      Vote in every local election.
      Vote in every GE.
      Persuade anyone you can to vote.
      Don't give up.
      Don't give in.
      The numbers show that the larger voter turnout is, the worse the right wing does. Your vote counts. It really does. If you can't be bothered on your own behalf, do it for the little girl who needs glasses on the NHS, or the elderly widow who needs Council services to cut her grass, or your hard working pal who still needs Universal Credit.
      If you never lift a finger to help another person, never contribute to a charity, you are helping nonetheless by ensuring that politicians are the most humane you could help to put in power. Because in a fair and just society provision is made for those who need a little help.
      "From each according to his means, to each according to his needs." is just as relevant now as when it was first written. It is not a bad credo. But to ever achieve it means never succumbing to apathy.

    Femi Oluwole recently posted a video telling us that the most important thing we can do is to actually get out and vote at the next GE - even if that means not voting for the Tories OR Labour. He's aware that Starmer has shifted so far to the right that he's lost a lot of support with traditional labour voters - but that doesn't mean people just shouldn't bother. I think that unless you happen to be in a seat where beating the Tories means voting tactically, you should still vote according to your conscience - and that means voting Plaid Cyrmu, SNP, Green, Lib Dem and even Reform (other parties exist in NI, natch). The main parties need to be sent a message that the 2 party system is broken and that we need PR. If Labour wins too easily, then everything will permanently shift to the right and there will be less chance of meaningful change.

Then in later elections and local elections we can vote for smaller parties to bring Labour down to size too. The big parties need to fall, but the Tories need to go first.

Labour won't be as corrupt and hopefully they'll be more green, but other than that, I'm struggling to see any major differences.

    You're missing a couple of major factors in your analysis: Tory fatigue, and anti-Tory hatred. After 14 years in office, Brexit, a pandemic, pointless austerity, and ludicrous "culture wars", people are sick and tired of the Tory party. Left, right, center - absolutely nobody believes the Tories have any answers or solutions for any of the problems they've created during their reign, making them wholly unelectable unless you're blindly loyal to the party. People generally aren't.
    There's also the fact that they are pretty much universally despised by everyone under 40 - the cost of sacrificing young people on the altar of austerity, and then launching vile attacks on trans people, immigrants, and minority groups in general. It feels like we've reached a point of generational divide, where the Tories have pandered so badly to the elderly bigots of the country there is no reason on earth why anyone who isn't a 50+ property owner and/or a massive racist/transphobe/homophobe/misogynist/xenophobe would ever vote for them. Young people don't like Starmer much, but I think enough will go for the "anyone but the Tories" line and keep them out, even if it means some tactical voting.
    They went for short term power instead of sustainable governance. Hopefully it'll be their demise.

While all you have to do is take a drive into an industrial estate to see where all the money is. New buildings popping up everywhere with the latest tech to reduce the required work force, well kept grounds and warehouses so big they need to paint them to look like the sky to disguise them. All while British people are resorting to living on the streets because the rents are impossibly high. The businesses own this country, they pay us as little as possible and expect us to work to their schedule or you get the sack. Profits are soaring and Sunak wants to focus efforts on the people claiming benefits.
