The Burnham Effect: Labor overtakes Reform UK in polls

The British seem to appreciate this energy. For the first time since March last year, the ruling Labor Party is in one Survey by the NGO “More in Common” with 28 percent ahead of the right-wing populist Reform UK Party (24 percent) and the Conservatives (22 percent). But Burnham explained that he didn’t want to “get carried away” by it. But he is happy to have “made contact with the people”.

Specifically, Labor laid out by four percentage points. The profits came equally from the Greens and Reform UK. Burnham’s announcements and his focus on the cost of living crisis appear to appeal to both left and right voters.

Farage in focus

The decline in Reform UK voters could also be related to the turmoil Nigel Farage related. The party leader recently came under criticism after it became known that he had received a personal gift of money from Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne in the amount of 5.8 million euros not reported and also hundreds of thousands of euros George Cottrell who was convicted of fraud in America. To avert a parliamentary committee audit, Farage resigned as an MP in early July and dissolved one By-election for which he immediately lined up again.

His argument: The People of Clacton should about his political future decide. Whether his calculations work remains to be seen. According to that Pollster Michael Ashcroft Many Clacton residents now feel like “Schach figures“.

The list of candidates also seems like a game. Among the 33 Candidates there is not a single representative of a major party. There are dozens of fun characters for this. Including: Count Binfacewho has already run against Burnham in Makerfield, attends election rallies with a garbage can attached to his head and, when presenting his election manifesto, promised to make the gripper machines in arcades “fairer”.

Andy Burnham used its second week for further announcements. After becoming Ukraine’s president on Monday Wolodimir Selenskij during his visit to southern England Portsmouth assured unbroken support, on Tuesday it was again about their own country: English school children should increase in technical subjects be taught. This should help with your job search. Because currently there are a million 16 to 24 year olds neither in a profession nor in training or further education.
