I’m not sure why you thought I was talking about the popular party vote when the context of my post was all about Parliament and Labour’s majority.
I think that everyone is fully aware that Labour hold nearly two thirds of the MP Seats in Parliament, despite receiving just under a third of the party votes cast.- it has been the talk of the wash house since July!
My answer to that is that if folk support the FPTP voting system, they have to be prepared for these undemocratic results.
I don’t know if I have mentioned it before in this thread but if folk want a more democratic outcome, maybe getting Proportional Representation would give you a more democratic result than just getting another General Election under the same old rules.
It’s not too late to sign the current Petition calling for PR - I’ve signed it. It may get more signatures if one of the “celebrities” on social media saw it and shared it and it went “viral” - that seems to be how people decide what to vote for these days!
You could be that “celebrity” Foxy, if you signed and shared it! - Nigel Farage supports PR, so …. Go on … sign it … let’s fight for more democracy!
That Compass Report was an interesting read, Cinders.
I agreed with most of it, especially their Recommendations - if Labour took notice of it, I’d be made up! 
For anyone who wants to read a Summary without downloading the whole report, there’s a fair summary of it here
It was interesting.
Now the challenge is that the Labour needs to be seen to be benefitting low-middle income people and do that quickly. Yes it needs to support the NHS, yes it needs to improve education, and improve support for the vulnerable, and improve local services. The list is quite long. But surely decent jobs and decent pay is the core issue that most people vote for.
Unfortunately, to drive up employment and wages through direct investment would risk inflation and increased borrowing. So the plan has been to try to drive growth and trust that growth will be big enough to address employment and pay. However, I suspect that growth will take longer than one term in office.
If it was me, I’d risk increasing debt. I’d argue that the last 40 years has seen the Conservative party recklessly throw away so much - oil revenues, public companies, public assets, tax revenues, trade relations. The poor state of the country and the country’s economy is by a significant measure down to their reckless actions. So a bit of Labour recklessness with borrowing might not be so bad. After all, under Tory rule hundreds of billions was spent on quantitative easing. Who ever voted for that? And who benefitted from that? (Answer - property owners)
