It might be a bit premature to say this, but the election results today have a bit of a feel of the preceding years that led to 1997/Tony Blair/New Labour.

Only this time, people are not just sick of the Tories, they are absolutely fed up and disgusted with Labour… too.

While Reform didn’t achieve everything they wanted last night, the results highlight it is no longer a political fairytale to suggest they can win (The Telegraph). This is only going to lead more people to feel emboldened to vote for Reform; no longer sensing it’s a wasted vote.

The Runcorn by-election being won by just six votes (BBC News) also tells people their vote really can make the difference. Other Mayoral and Council contests were won by hundreds of votes, too. So vote, if you want real change - don’t stay home.

“Things can only get better” was the mantra of the 1997 General Election. Is it time to D:Ream, again?
