Not many will remember the 1964 election, won by Harold Wilson. The rallying cry at that time (imagine saying it in Wilson’s droll Yorkshire dialect) was “13 years of Tory misrule”. And 13 years of misrule indeed, from Suez, to Profumo, to mismanagement of possible entry to the then Common Market. Labour had introduced the Welfare system during their period in office from 1945-1951 but, as always, the electorate turned on anything that hurt them in the short term and put the Tories back in office in 1951. Labour then introduced really sensible policies, especially the National Plan and the Rent Act, only to be voted from office in favour of a pathetic set of Tories led by Ted Heath. Labour relations were then the downfall of Labour between 1974 and 1979, then of course the Tories held sway from 1979-1997. Labour almost always has short terms in office where it achieves seriously beneficial long term initiatives, which are then put in peril by much longer terms by incompetent and self interested Tories.

It's a "first past the post system". UK elections are often low turnout, plus you're missing many crucial logical conclusions. 20% of the population, but 33% of the Vote. If you apply the same logic to the Brexit referendum only 23% of the population voted Leave. Alternatively you could break the 2024 election down like this: 65% didn't vote Labour 77% didn't vote Tory 86% didn't vote Reform You're also wilfully ignoring the hundreds of thousands of Labour voters who gave their cross to the Lib Dems in order to oust the Tories tactically. That's how our electoral system works, and we always have minority governments. But the system favours both the major parties so it won't be changing anytime soon.

Oh shut up and stop dreaming.
Facts! Anyone who has paid any attention to what has happened with Musk’s strategy and the rise of fascists and oligarchies of the past can see the obvious, everyone else who love to lick boots will shout you down.
Hear, hear. Farage is unable to cope the demands of being a responsible member of parliament, but he’d be the first to say that he was democratically elected.
If that’s what you think of the man from Clacton I can’t imagine what you must think of Ben Habib.
"I don't want to spend my Friday evenings in Clacton." Farage.
Brexit voters should sit out elections and let the adults run the country.
And that comments shouts Adult 🤣🤣🤣 Delete it you are embarrassing yourself.
Starmer’s out then, guy doesn’t even buy his own clothes 🤣
Lol
If this government is an example of adults running the country, bring back the kids!
And the only bed-wetter I see is James O'Brien, who has still not got over Brexit !!!
As a European I can say that you know very little

What people fail to mention is any old foreign bot farm factory can sign the petition. If you need photo ID to vote. You should need photo ID to sign a government petition.
You are insane if you think it's some russian bot. You are actually mentally ill. It's not since you need to use your address.
You need name and address as well as an email registered to that profile. As well as the government has the current census data that is used to compare the details... so... no... not bots

Not bots, you can view the petition data. It's less than 25k signatures from outside UK. Still over 2.5 million. From in the UK

Technically, Starmers the only PM to FIRST be elected to that position in a general election since 1997!! Nearly 30 years!
if around 20 million people voted at the recent election and only two and half million have signed the petition, doesn't that reflect a higher level of support for the Government?
I remember signing the petition to get the Tories out .
Although at least by that point they'd had about a decade in power and proven to have been a cabal of corrupt liars and put the country into a death spiral.
Labour have only been in power for 4 months, so give them a chance to prove they're the same or otherwise!

People want change. The Tories were a continuation of New Labour and this government is just going even harder. The people are simply fed up with another 4 and half years of even more to come.
we just had a election or was you in a coma and the far right will never be in power in this country so id move to the USA if i was you .
so you call for change by calling for another election with the same two parties contending, plus a collection of Poundland fascists waiting in the wings? makes sense...
Well they don't seem to want change or they wouldn't be protesting about every Labour action.

I suppose because most farmers are very rich, I mean they have big 4x4 truck, massive tractors and combined harvesters and they are pleading poverty, so why don't they just hire or share these tractors, combined harvesters?
As a farmer I can tell you I don’t know any that are ‘very rich’ I own 3 tractors one 15 year old, one 20 years old and the other is 28 years old . An idea for you, why don’t you tell you neighbour to sell his car, then let him share yours.
I don't have to be a Tory supporter to have a low opinion of Starmer as a liar and promise breaker. I wouldn't trust him any more than I'd trust another Tory, and seem them both as two faces of the same dud coin. There's no telling which way Starmer will jump, because it will be in the direction he sees his personal self-interest at the time. He's Labour's Bozo.

He never said that anyone was not entitled to sign a petition.
He was simply pointing out the irony and hypocrisy of this one.
Brilliant as always James but how did Prince Andrew not get brought up?😆
So how does James know all the 2.7 million who signed the petition are brexiteers?. He mentions brexit everyday and that’s fine people are willing to listen to him squeeze brexit into every subject.
Because, like 'Fwashist' and 'Far Right' - 'Brexiteer' has just become an insult for anyone he doesn't like. Which is almost anyone...
Stated reason for the petition if you bothered to read it was ooriginally to highlight how many promises Starmer has broken, both GE and party leadership...
@@jamesbrierley5693 Don't try and bring the party leadership into it.

ONLY 10% VOTED FOR THE TORIES
@@michaelswan8357 nonsense.
It's a "first past the post system". UK elections are often low turnout, plus you're missing many crucial logical conclusions.
20% of the population, but 33% of the Vote.
If you apply the same logic to the Brexit referendum only 23% of the population voted Leave.
Alternatively you could break the 2024 election down like this:
65% didn't vote Labour
77% didn't vote Tory
86% didn't vote Reform
You're also wilfully ignoring the hundreds of thousands of Labour voters who gave their cross to the Lib Dems in order to oust the Tories tactically.
That's how our electoral system works, and we always have minority governments. But the system favours both the major parties so it won't be changing anytime soon.
@@FigelNarage wasn’t 20% of the population it was less than 15% of the population that voted for Labour.
“We have never previously had a government starting with quite as low a share of the vote Labour got in July,"
"It's also difficult to find a government that has slipped as much in the polls as this government has so quickly." - Sir John Curtis to Sky News.
