Shouldn't that be "Are Labour..."?

Gut feeling no for “turning it around”, but they’re certainly going to do less general harm than the Tories were doing. I really don’t know where we go from here, and I hope they can get at least one more term after this to really get a good crack at it. But I have serious doubts.

True
No, the U.K. is done for unless we rejoin the EU and that won’t happen because everyone is too scared to upset the gammons.
So nope, we have been a decaying country since 2016 and we will continue to sink lower until someone nuts up and puts us back in the EU. With no referendum.

I voted no, but on reflection I think they'll have it spinning around in circles for a while. A bit like sewage going down a drain.
Yes.

Oh, it will be a dystopian Hellscape.

Given time they will.
I guess it depends what’s meant by “turning the country around”, does it not?

Same. Labour's hearts are in the right place, unlike the last lot, which will probably help preserve things like the NHS for a while. But this is not a land of happy smiling hard-working people. We're never going to be turning Japanese [insert vid here] or South Korean. Ees complicated

I've got a funny feeling about this one.
These are a good political party

It's got nil growth written all over it
Maybe.
I'm 'labour' but voted 'fence'.
How can we tell yet? It is far too soon.
In other news (quizzes), will the Albion win something?

Who knows, how can anyone say today definitively yes or no?
Putin, China, Iran can screw the world almost at will.
Labour will need a lot of luck. Plus having the balls to go for economic integration with the EU would be a huge boon, almost from the day something tangible were to be announced.

This next government could be future-defining. These are a good/bad party.

No. Starmer is a puppet and has the same overlord as Sunak did, who also handled Lettuce Truss, Maggie May, Pig f**ker Dave and so on and so on.
