UK Vote of No Confidence - Joe Blogs

1. Whole load of things here, but mostly protest vote.

Note I haven't watched the video.

In 2024 the results were Labour 18.5k, Reform 5.1k, Green 4.8k. This is a new constituency but the Greens have been on the rise in this area for quite some time. The area has a lot of young people and also people with a lower level of education.

Reform do have a populist message so that's why they resonated well. However the tactical votes didn't help the LibDems any because any LibDems would vote Green to keep Reform out. Hardline Tories probably defected to Reform. But the biggest thing was pissed off Labour voters wanting to send a message so they voted for their 2nd choice candidate and the one most likely to win. The Greens.

But my happy dance is for Sir Oinks-a-lot. 6th place in a 11 candidate election. More than Advance UK (Reform on steroids). Proving once and for all that voting Loony makes sense.
