Exceto uma recuperação semelhante ao Lázaro na quinzena final da campanha, agora parece inevitável que Rishi Sunak perca a eleição geral que, nos lembremos, não havia necessidade de ele ligar. A única pergunta pendente parece ser: quantos assentos os conservadores ficarão? teve vida curta. Na hora de anunciar notícias positivas, surgiu que um número recorde de barcos cheios de migrantes atravessou o Chanel - e, na época das 22h, as manchetes estavam sendo dominadas pela revelação que mais candidatos conservadores - e um dos membros da PMS de proteção - estavam sendo investigados pela Comissão de Gropéias.
From the prime minister’s rain drenched campaign launch, to his gaff when asking Welsh voters if they were looking forward to the Euros, through to his D-Day disaster, and his Sky Tv gaff, it has been a miserable month for Sunak.
Even when he did get some good news earlier this week, as inflation dropped to 2%, his joy was short-lived. Within the hour of that positive news being announced, it emerged that record numbers of boats full of migrants had crossed the Chanel – and by the time of the 10pm news, the headlines were being dominated by the revelation that more Tory candidates – and one of the PMs close protection officers – were being investigated by the Gambling Commission for having a flutter on the date of the election.
A campanha eleitoral conservadora de 2024 fez o esforço de 1983 do Labour, que viu o infeliz Michael Foot sofrer um tempo e resultado tórrido, parecer positivamente profissional. As previsões de super majorias e deslizamentos de terra sugeririam para o observador externo de um Partido Trabalhista transportado em uma onda de entusiasmo em relação a uma vitória histórica. Starmer e sua muito impressionante mulher direita Rachel Reeves, subestimaram, a fim de entregar demais. O país quebrado. Herança do Trabalho O equivalente a alguém perder uma libra e encontrar um centavo?
So, without having to do much other than say – ‘Change’ and ‘we can’t be any worse than that shower’, Labour look set to win its first General Election poll since 2005.
Poll leads of around 20% and predictions of super majorities and landslides would suggest to the outside observer of a Labour Party being carried on a wave of enthusiasm towards an historic win.
The reality is that Keir Starmer and his team are going to be in government – but expectations of how they perform in office is at best lukewarm.
I think we are in for a pleasant surprise. Starmer and his hugely impressive right hand woman Rachel Reeves, have under-promised, in order to over-deliver.
But isn’t UK plc skint? The country broken. Labour’s inheritance the equivalent of someone losing a pound and finding a penny?
Isso depende de quão criativo e radical é um novo primeiro -ministro e chanceler pretendem ser. Aqui estão algumas coisas que acho que um governo trabalhista fará para melhorar nossas perspectivas econômicas. Setor e investimento interno para iniciar o reparo e a regeneração de nossa infraestrutura rangente. Um estilo de governo de gerenciamento menos agressivo, caótico e reativo.
- More efficient trading relationships with our nearest and biggest trading partner the EU.
- Greater devolution to mayors and local authorities, in order to drive reform and improvement to our public services, including the NHS, training, skills, education, and social care.
- A drive, led by Reeves, to attract significant private sector and inward investment to begin the repair and regeneration of our creaking infrastructure.
- Amending fiscal rules, that will enable the government to cut the amount of interest it currently pays on the huge amount of money it printed for quantitative easing over the past fifteen years, down from the relatively high 5.25 per cent.
I’m sure there will be other initiatives that will make the country feel better too – including a less aggressive, chaotic, and reactive management style of government.
A shift in culture would be very welcome too, from the small-minded, mean-minded Right-wing narrative we have experienced in recent times, to a more progressive approach, particularly on on social issues.
Então, se você não for necessariamente estourando as rolhas de champanhe nas primeiras horas de 5 de julho TH, posso sugerir que você tenha pelo menos uma garrafa de material de gás no gelo. As coisas só podem melhorar!
