On the 4th July 2024, the UK held a general election. Here are my notes and links …

I celebrated/recorded the results in a blog article called “Labour Landslide“. The following year, I commented on the local election results which most would see as a Reform victory. See also, my diigo list tagged 2024, which includes some articles about the French election.

The definitive record of results

At the House of Commons Library, General election 2024 results and a page on the party results.

On the Politics

  1. What yougov has to say, “How Britain voted in the 2024 General Election“; I made a page specifically for the #sankey diagram.
  2. The politico.eu UK Polls page, shows a remarkable drop in Labour’s popularity during the campaign from 45% to 34%
  3. The House of Commons Library results page, and that of the BBC. Also the wikipedia page on the GE 2024.
  4. Announcing the Government and the FT’s comments on the unexpected appointments and demotions.
  5. Lewis Goodall, an awesome twitter thread.
  6. Tony Benn clips on the political shape of the PLP.
  7. Later in the year, Peter Kellner comments on his substack. Another analysis, showing that Labour’s vote was static at best, and the huge majority is based on a collapse of the Tory vote, mostly in favour of Reform, but many stayed at home.

Manifesto

  1. Labour’s Manifesto (HTML) or local (.pdf)
  2. The Green Party Manifesto (their web download page), or my mirror.
  3. Novara Media on the manifestos

On Votes

  1. At the House of Commons Library, General election 2024 results and a page on the party results.
  2. I have my notes on voting on a page, called, “Where did the votes come from?” on this wiki.
  3. John Burns Murdoch reviews the class or wealth composition of the electorate, showing that the poor aren’t voting Labour.
  4. Ben Walker of the New Statesman publishes his estimate of ward by ward results.
  5. Novara Media, in an article about the Greens, have a chart showing who came second and where.

On Money

  1. Labour Party raises 15 times more than Tories in donations during second week of campaign from Sky News
  2. UK political parties on track to spend £1m on election day online ads from the Guardian

Xmas 2025

I made the mistake of having a look at a nowcast; its pretty miserable.

Starmer’s popularity is down the toilet, and I found these links, some white papers, some commentary.

  1. Accommodating the Radical Right, the electoral cost for socual democratic parties
  2. The Brexit realignment amid electoral volatility: The role of party blocs in the 2024 General Election
