Vers une abstention massive aux prochaines elections :

Colère britannique : “Ils pensent que nous sommes tous bidon”

14/04/2010 - Bloc-Notes

Les Britanniques votent le mois prochain. La campagne électorale bat son plein et une caractéristique de plus en plus dominante apparaît (dans les sondages autant que dans le “climat”). Il ne s’agit nullement de la débâcle des travaillistes au profit des conservateurs, comme on l’attend depuis au moins deux ans, mais d’une colère générale des électeurs contre le monde politique.

Le Times de Londres de ce 14 avril 2010 publie un sondage à ce propos, révélateur, avec les commentaires dans ce sens.

« A new Populus poll for The Times reveals deep disenchantment with the campaign so far and high levels of scepticism about manifesto pledges and the parties’ honesty. More voters are now hoping for a hung Parliament than either a Tory or a Labour outright victory.

 »Conservative support has slipped by three points over the past week to 36 per cent, while Labour is a point up at 33 per cent. The Liberal Democrats are unchanged on 21 per cent. The Tories remain well short of the 40 per cent level where they might hope for an overall majority, although Tory strategists will hope for a boost from yesterday’s manifesto launch.

 »The parties will decamp to Manchester for tomorrow night’s debate, with senior figures admitting that they are struggling to break through to a public turned off by the campaign.

 »A senior Tory told The Times : “This is a phoney war right now, but that’s not because of any lack of fighting. It’s because they think we’re all fakes.” Lord Gould of Brookwood, Tony Blair’s pollster who has returned to the fray for this election, used an interview with Progress magazine to suggest that the real division was no longer between Labour and the Conservatives. “It’s between politics and anti-politics. The dominant mood is anti-political. That is what runs over everything.”

 »The poll shows that 32 per cent of the public hope for a hung Parliament, against 28 per cent who want a Tory majority and 22 per cent a Labour one. Lib Dem voters prefer a deal with Labour in a hung Parliament.

 »Populus also underlines the extent of disenchantment : a mere 4 per cent think that the parties are being completely honest with voters about their tax plans and only 6 per cent about their approaches to cutting the deficit. ».........
