This from Daniel Jupp from across the pond:

The Keir Starmer reaction to big Labour losses in UK council elections is a perfect summation of modern leftism.

His government was elected with just 19% of the potential vote in the last election. Only 33% of those who bothered to vote.

In these council elections he has lost more seats than any other party. The only reason Labour haven’t been wiped out in England at council level is because only a third of the seats are up for vote at the moment.

In my area, Labour tried to deny 5 million people a local vote altogether by refusing an election and going over a year past their terms limits while they tried to gerrymander Essex into new council districts that would favour them.It took a judicial challenge to give us any vote. Everywhere we have had a vote, Essex has voted Reform and Labour have had massive losses. But they still have councillors because of the seats that aren’t being contested in this vote.

Labour have lost just under half of the seats they were fighting so far. If you are popular you gain seats. If you are unpopular but it’s not hatred you should retain about two thirds of seats, at least. Losing hundreds of seats means you are hated.

Scotland is heavily leftist. And the SNP have been in government there now a long time. That should mean Labour recovery. It doesn’t. It’s still SNP. Wales was a Labour heartland. It isn’t any more. It’s the same picture of relentless Labour decline. London is a Labour heartland. They are losing that to the Greens. There are places in former Northern Labour strongholds where if 22 seats are up for grabs, 22 go to Reform. Northern cities with big Muslim populations are going Green or voting for independents who run on Gaza and Palestinian bullshit.

All this presents very badly for Labour. The only things propping them up still is 1. Places that don’t get a vote that they retain 2. The split in the vote of the Right still helping them and 3. The existing boundaries and huge number of urban seats systemically favouring them.

If every council vote or every MP national election vote counted equally, Labour would be utterly fucked. They need fewer to get in…..and are still doing badly.

Starmer’s personal approval ratings are the lowest of any modern UK Prime Minister. He heads an old Establishment party. He institutes Globalist Progressive policies that are favoured by global elites and the comfortable middle class. He and his party are hated and their results show it.

How does he respond?

"…..days like this, they don’t weaken my resolve to deliver the change that I promised at the general election, they strengthen my resolve to do so. Let me be clear, I am not going to walk away and plunge the country into chaos. I am going to see this through.”

He also insisted:

"We won a landslide victory in July 2024. I led our party to that victory, that is a five-year mandate to change the country. It was a five-year term I was elected to do, I intend to see that through.”

In other words I’m going to keep doing the things you hate and have voted against, only I’m going to try to do them faster. He got a tiny endorsement in 2024 with an obscenely inflated Parliamentary majority from that low vote count, due to the stupidities of our voting system, and insists this is the basis for him to keep radically changing the country when his vote and popularity are in the toilet and being flushed away altogether.

In Globalist thinking, any victory of theirs, no matter how fortunate or slight, is a permanent mandate for any level of change no matter how hated or disastrous. But any loss they suffer is not a mandate to those who defeat them, but rather a sign that the Globalist needs to do hated Globalist things even MORE rapidly and even more extensively.

After all if you don’t there’s a slight chance that the stupid voters could stop you.
