For a party set to win the UK General Election, surprisingly little is known about Labour’s swathe of Prospective Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs). To better understand what is likely to shape the future direction of a Labour government, Penta has analysed the public views and campaigns of almost 150 of Labour’s PPCs throughout 2023 to gain an understanding of what will motivate them post-election. Penta’s analysis has identified a number of key areas where Labour PPCs diverge from the party’s leadership. We believe that these divergences are an important signal to what they will campaign on - and pressure the Labour Government on - if they are elected to Parliament on 4th July. Will your business in Europe be affected by the outcome of this election? Interested to read the report and analysis in full?

https://lnkd.in/edbtgY2H  How quickly will the new Labour government forget how unrepresentative their election has been? Each Labour seat in Parliament required on average nearly 35,000 votes whereas the 4 Green Party Seats required nearly half a million each. That is not fair and does not produce good democratic government. In the UK we worry that PR will produce unworkable coalition government making poor decisions. Are we that naive that we think the evidence of First Part The Post has been a roaring success? What we need is decision making that reflects the needs of all of us, not just those with money and influence. Please support the introduction of PR under this new Labour government and let Kier Starmer know you want this.

We all know businesses don't vote! But what do senior decision makers across British business think about the upcoming election? and what are the key issues they're worried about right now? Read all about it from a new YouGov poll below

Last week I had a great conversation with Craig McCulloch at RNZ about the issues Labour faces in Opposition - we touched on everything from leadership and the place of the Greens, through to how hard it is for politicians to admit when they get things wrong. We also talk about one of my least favourite adages, that "Oppositions don't win elections, Governments lose them". Opposition is a tough job, with parties needing to find the balance between being overly negative or "opposing for the sake of opposition" and being too reserved and focused on developing policy. In truth, Opposition parties need a balance of both - short term focus on holding governments to account, while maintaining a more medium-to-long term view of developing its people and policy to be prepared to govern in future.
