A political wilderness?

THE one ray of hope for the Labour Party is that in recent times the polls have been wrong. However, this time I believe they will be fairly accurate.

Labour know that Jeremy Corbyn is not a popular leader and it is difficult to imagine that the majority of people would prefer him as our Prime Minister in comparison with Theresa May.

However, Labour will hope that their policies of supporting the NHS, the poorer members of our society, the homeless and general inequality in our society will be vote winners. In reality I have doubts they will be as crucial as Labour think.

In any election the economy is vitally important because if you ruin the economy then the reality is that there is no money for the NHS and other projects.

People often say things publicly yet privately they vote for other reasons – and that is why the polls are often wrong.

The majority of people concern themselves primarily with themselves and their families Are they happy with their own lifestyles? Do they feel secure in their jobs?

I believe that the answers to these questions will decide the fate of this general election.

This time the polls will prove to be right – the Tories will win the general election by a large majority and Labour must heed the warning of our country at large or they will be cast into the political wilderness for a long, long time Harry Singleton, Ashton-Under-Lyne
