campaign strategies
Weaker: Campaigns don’t override gov’t record – 2024 Tories had better-funded campaign, still lost big.
Stronger: Targeted campaigning can help – Labour focused resources on marginals like Bury North in 2024.
manifestos
Weaker: Voters rarely read manifestos – most base vote on party leader/image.
Stronger: Clear promises can sway voters – 2017: Corbyn’s tuition fee pledge attracted youth vote.
long-term factors
Weaker: Floating voters still exist – 2024 had many swing voters in red wall/blue wall seats.
Stronger: Party image and gov’t competence matter more – 2024 Tories punished for Truss mini-budget, Partygate.
conclusion
Disagree – campaigns/manifestos play a role, but government performance and party image matter more.
