After the local elections last week, pundits are speculating whether this is the end of the two-party system in the UK and if Nigel Farage could become the UK’s next Prime Minister.

While it has been widely publicised that the Conservatives were the biggest losers in the elections, by vote share it was Labour that lost the most.  If Labour keeps haemorrhaging support, it will soon be reduced to nothing more than a minor party.  Starmer and his cronies are doing more to destroy Labour’s prospects than any opposition party could dream of doing.

Yesterday, Zia Yusuf, the Chairman of Reform UK, joined GB News to give his thoughts on the recent local elections in England in which his party won control of 10 councils and gained 2 mayors.

But, as The New York Times reported, Reform may have done something bigger still: blown a hole in the country’s two-party political system. For nearly all of the past century, power in Britain has alternated between the Labour Party and the Conservative Party.  “Yet with surging support for Reform and gains for other small parties, that duopoly has rarely looked more shaky.”

“The two main parties have been served notice of a potential eviction from their 100-year tenures of Downing Street,” said Robert Ford, a professor of political science at the University of Manchester.

On Saturday, the Independent reported that the initial estimates of the percentage vote share show that Reform received nearly a third of the vote across all councils holding elections, with the Conservatives next at 23 per cent.  With 17 per cent, the Liberal Democrats received a lower vote share overall than the Conservatives but won more seats. They also overtook Labour in vote share with Starmer’s party getting 14 per cent.

Below we have prepared a table comparing the number of votes cast in the general election in 2024 to the local elections last week.  Although local election results and general election results cannot be directly compared, the overall number of people voting indicates the mood of the country. 

It has been widely touted that the Conservatives were the biggest losers as the party lost the most seats on local councils.  But this is far from the true picture.  It can clearly be seen that the mood of the people of England is dissatisfaction with the Labour Party.  As the table below shows, the Conservatives held onto their vote share while Labour has lost so much public confidence and trust that it has been reduced to little more than a minor party, polling only a few percentage points above the Greens.

Despite Labour’s appalling results and the obvious lack of public trust and confidence that has been on display for months, in response to the local election results Starmer has reiterated his vow to “go further and faster” to make “change” happen.  He says he won’t make the “same old excuses” for Labour’s losses.   If ever there was an instance of beating a dead horse, this is it.

The “change” Starmer is referring to is the unpopular policies the Conservative Party started, such as net zero and turning a blind eye to, if not encouraging, illegal immigration.   Starmer’s “change” also includes unpopular two-tier policies and far-left “woke” policies, including diversity, equity and inclusion.

Starmer simply doesn’t seem to understand that his “change” is not the change the public wants.  The public recognises Starmer’s “change” is the same World Economic Forum’s “build back better” and United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals agendas which, together with policies relating to the false covid pandemic, ousted the Conservatives in 2024.  In 2024, many didn’t vote “for Labour” but rather “against the Conservatives.”  Labour was never popular; in 2024, they simply profited from protest votes.  Additionally, many genuine Labour supporters are having buyer’s remorse.

As early as December 2024, six months after the general election that gave Labour a “landslide victory,”  a YouGov poll showed that Starmer’s government was the most unpopular in UK history; six in ten Britons (62%) disapproved of the government’s record at the time.  Labour had hit new lows across a range of measures, including with its own support base – 57% of Labour voters still held a favourable opinion of Starmer but this had fallen considerably from 87% in the immediate aftermath of the general election.

The Labour Party has been haemorrhaging support from almost day one. As leading pollster Professor Sir John Curtice has said, Labour support is “in free fall.”  

“Despite having done so poorly in the local elections four years ago, the party’s vote fell on average since then by as much as nine points,” he said.  “Labour’s collapse left the door open to Reform to take many a seat from the party.”

Labour’s woes are set to get worse as Nigel Farage intends to use Reform’s control of 10 councils to launch a series of taxpayer-funded legal challenges on net zero policies and housing migrants.

But instead of reading the room, Starmer has repeated the mantra that he was given a “mandate” to not only implement the unpopular socialist and Globalist policies that got the Conservatives into hot water with the public, but also to take them “further and faster.” 

Starmer is wilfully ignoring that he is subject to the will of the people and instead is acting like an autocrat.  By doggedly ignoring the voice of Britons, Starmer is ensuring Labour Members of Parliament will never again be elected in numbers sufficient enough to form a government again – at least not in our lifetimes.  Perhaps Starmer’s government will prove to be such a disaster that the Labour Party will be assigned to the history books altogether. It would seem Starmer’s only choice is that he and his cabinet resign and call a general election to avoid that from happening – the sooner the better for all of us.
