The assumption is that the Labour party will win the next General Election and that the ruling Conservative party will be ousted. At the moment Labour enjoys a commanding lead.
In my view (often wrong!!) is it will be much closer in the end. Labour could even lose. It would not surprise me if the outcome is a hung parliament. Some years ago we all assumed the Labour party of Neil Kinnock would win. It did not.
12 months is a very long time in politics. The political landscape could rapidly change.
The leader of the Labour party, Sir Keir Starmer, seems an honest man, but lacking in charisma. Maybe the UK public is looking for a man with integrity? What is really needed is an honest leader, with integrity and charisma. These are qualities that seem in short supply, not only in the UK.

I'm not sure at what point Starmer breaks cover to reveal what Labour in government will actually do, GE manifesto? Too scared to have it picked holes in and used against them as well as having any good ideas stolen by tories if they talk specifics now?
The obvious solution to winning the next election is for Labour to endorse tactical voting with a commitment to change the electoral system to some form of PR. Will happen, of course not, too many long term vested party interests to risk that.
