Comments by "" (@redtela) on "Starmer's Labour in for a Nasty Shock?" video.
The same argument was made over Brexit, asking for a new referendum. My opinion remains the same - the people voted, and a majority emerged. A shade under 60% of the UK population voted, Labour came away with a 174 seat simple majority - while the Conservatives took their biggest defeat on record to date. In fact, a 251 seat loss is the single biggest loss of any political party in the entirety of British history! To re-vote simply because we don't like what the winners have been doing, while they are not known to have broken any laws or parliamentary rules, would be to undermine democracy itself. For the same reason as a 2nd Brexit referendum never happened, a re-vote on the General Election should be denied (and undoubtedly will be denied). Those that are unhappy, vote with your feet - choose better at by-elections and the next General Election. To those that argue "all politicians are the same, there's no-one good to vote for" - there is nothing stopping you standing as a candidate in your local area.
