John,

It is not often that we have found ourselves agreeing with former Chief Adviser to Boris Johnson Dominic Cummings, but today during the second phase of the Covid Inquiry, he confirmed what we have long known;

The wrong people were in the wrong jobs, and the British people deserved better.

Which is worrying, because even though Johnson and Cummings have gone, a lot of them are still in the jobs! And the then-Chancellor, is now Prime Minister.

So it’s time to vote them out at the next election.

But, did you know that most polling charts don’t show how many people answered ‘Don’t Know’? Best for Britain always analyses the people who haven’t decided - and last year as many as 32% of them said they might end up voting Conservative.

And we will be measuring it every few months until the next general election.

Why?

Because tactical voting only works if you have up-to-date polling that shows you who might win, and who might come second. So to help voters get it right, we’ve fired our tactical voting platform GetVoting, back up again. Do make sure you’ve pledged to vote tactically so that you get alerts when we have new polling to display.

(MRP polling like ours, which was 97% accurate at the last general election costs a lot of money - so do also consider donating to our crowdfunder, if you can)

From Cummings to Hancock to Johnson, those running the country had a complete lack of moral authority with regards to protecting the public, particularly those in the most vulnerable groups of society, and it's simply unacceptable. 

No amount of reshuffles or Prime Minister’s can deter from the fact that the Government remains “dysfunctional”, just as it was during the pandemic, and just as it was in the years before. 

This Government won’t ever get it right, but you and I can, by voting tactically at the next General Election, with the help of GetVoting.
