Labour Party......
25 Answers
Even with Boris' head on the block, EC have Labour 9 shy of a majority. If there was an election tomorrow they'd have to get into bed with the SNP in order to form a government. Not that there is any chance of their being an election. Essentially Labour need Scotland to Govern, even by coalition or by actually winning the seats back. The tories do not, that is why there is zero chance of Labour winning in the foreseeable future.

Having been brought up in a Labour family and voted for them for over 50 years I switched to UKIP and then to Tory in the last two GE. Labour have no chance what so ever of getting back into power in my lifetime, they are riddled with 'wrong 'uns', Starmer has the charisma of a an old pair of socks, those small beady eyes and his monotone voice, gee whiz, do me a favour,...

JIM, it's more than forty year.
Going back as far as the 1945 General Election, without Scots seats, the winning party would have been different only in 1964 and Feb 1974.
"In 1964, the Conservatives would have been the largest party but would not have had a majority. Including Scotland, Labour won a House of Commons majority.
In February 1974, the Conservatives would have been the largest party but would not have had a majority. Including Scotland, Labour was the largest party but did not have a majority."

I don't think Labour will ever form another government. I think society has moved on from the whole idea of a neo-Socialist ruling party.
Just as the Liberals became a historical irrelevance 100 years ago (David Lloyd George, 1922?), I think that Labour are now a historical irrelevance. The only time in recent years that Labour have been in office was when they became faux Conservatives, with Tony Blair.

Yeah, apologies, TTT ... :-)
Although, are there really any lefties left (so to speak).
That is probably Labour's fundamental problem.
Labour are now SO untrusted that they couldn't even beat "you know who".
It's like the US in 2016. Whatever you thought of Donald Trump, the nation was quite simply not going to elect that awful Clinton woman.
And now, whatever you think of Johnson (and I can't stand him), we are simply not going to elect a Labour government. Ever.
In my humble opinion, obviously.
