Hi all,

With 2024 General Election fast approaching, I thought it would be useful to have a poll to measure local support for each party.

For simplicity, only the parties standing in the Lewisham West and East Dulwich consistency are listed as options. This is a new constituency for 2024 and covers East Dulwich, Honor Oak, Forest Hill, Sydenham and some parts of Nunhead. You can check which constituency you live in using this page.

I would appreciate if only Lewisham West and East Dulwich residents cast their vote in this (although obviously there is no way of us verifying this!).

This is an anonymous poll and your forum username will not be recorded against your vote.

If anything it just suggests that EDF 'members' are very broadly representative of participative electors in ED, remembering that they are drawn from a somewhat wider universe. But it might mean that another 'political' poll on the forum might, just might, be broadly representative of more general ED political views.

    • Thank you, Malumbu. I was going to say something similar, but I didn't have the figures.
    • No no no and no again. Pay per mile will hopefully be brought in for all vehicles.   Governments will continue to decide whether we raise revenue (general taxation) from road vehicles.  Similar to the way we raise money from CGT, inheritance tax, fags and booze. The last few governments have sadly overseen a reduction in the revenue from motorised transport due to freezing, and then a (supposedly temporary) reduction in fuel duty.  That is 2.4 billion less to spend on hospitals, schools, or whatever. If you want a low tax, low public service, economy, then you should not live in Western Europe - apart from the odd tax haven although you'd need to sell your £2million house to afford to do this.  And that will buy you a shed in Guernsey. Fuel prices are loosely similar across Europe.  The exchange rate is an important factor. Fuel was around 28 p a litre in 1980 (after the Tory government, yes the Tories, added 10% in the budget, yes 10%), that is about £130 a litre nowadays, although the price of crude is the main factor which has been volatile in the last twenty years. A pint of beer should be around £2.30 a pint in London based on 1980 prices.  It isn't.    
    • I think there must have been some changes there. I've always found the reception staff very friendly and helpful, with the exception of one person who I thought had  left some time ago. But  I've just spoken to someone who sounded very bored,   interrupted me and spoke over me as I was trying to ask a question,  and was really quite the opposite of helpful. Not great when you are feeling ill. I wonder what training they get, if any.
    • No they are not ordinary houses.  None of the ordinary people I hang around with live in £2m houses.  Many people I work with will never be able to afford any house in London.  Most people's kids will not be able to afford a house, unless fortunate enough for some serious inheritance. So on your formula a £2m house is around four times the average price of a house across the whole of London.  Back to my 1970s prices, £20k (not £68k) that would be equivalent to £300k based on inflation or £800k based on wages in today's prices.
