Would an English World Cup win be bad for Labours Election chances

What do the local Nostradami  think ?

[EasyforDennis]

Even Nostradamus couldn't predict anything other than a defeat for the Selfservatives at the next GE.

[LincsRover]

I can actually imagine them saying we only won it because of Brexit and the CONservative policies!

[ForsolongaRover]

Experience suggests that they certainly would not accept responsibility if we didn’t win it and if we did it would not do them any good in Scotland and Wales.

David Mellor seemed to be the only Tory MP that I have come across who took a genuine interest in football and then he only supported Chelsea.

Many believe England's QF defeat in the 1970 World Cup had an impact on the 1970 GE held 4 days later

So there perhaps is a precedent

[Jimmydee]

I can see the blue ties saying “we sorted Brexit, we sorted COVID and now we’ve won the World Cup”  that’s what the general public see and I think that the tortes would benefit from it.
Much to my fright if it was to happen.

There's lots of football supporting MP's from both parties, including Tracey Crouch, for example, who is a ST holder at Spurs.

Isn’t Starmer a gooner?

[wilts rover]

Will the woke footballers, that several Tory MP's refuse to watch because they still take the knee, help those same MP's keep their seats?

Nah.

Isn’t Starmer a gooner?

Yes he is, but the response was specifically focused on Tory MPs.

The FSA have a parliamentary group at Westminster which is very active and includes numerous MPs from both sides of the house.

Martin, I was responding to your post (#6) in which you mentioned MPs from both Party’s.
