Despite promises on tax, voters believe they will pay more, and are sceptical about things getting better. Turnout is expected to be historically low.
The Lib Dems are heading for a lower share of the vote than Reform but could get twenty times as many seats or more. Are these just the realities of our system or the warning lights on the dashboard for a democracy heading down the wrong road?
Look across the water to France and beyond - are we potentially storing up even more discontent and anger from people who might turn right next time?
In this episode of The Political Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Labour’s Bell Ribeiro-Addy, former Levelling Up Minister Dehenna Davison and the SNP’s Mhairi Black to discuss all this and more.
Produced by Shaheen Sattar, Silvia Maresca, Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Nick Jackson.

These muppets are the reason why we don’t want to vote for them
-
The problem is that the politicians are not listening to the people.
-
Such a ridiclous debate with people out of touch with reality. The real reason the UK is in a mess is the people on this show.
-
Yes we are sick of losing our country
-
Channel 4 checks under it's bed every night for the "right wing" boogieman.
-
Im switched off to politics because its full of people like these 3...get them All out. F the political class
-
When you’re running scared of popular opinion then it’s time to leave the field. When you can’t accept popular views and demonise folk for having those views then you have no legitimate right to apply to become a representative of the people.
-
Freedom of speech works both ways ladies.
-
Why do they not talk about the influence of the tabloid media and their wealthy owners?
-
With a first past the post we have no democracy.
-
The former Conservatives minister is concerned about a shift to the right. This is why Tories are doomed because they have forgotten they are conservatives and therefore should be right.
-
Never vote Labour
-
Channel 4 news is an impartial source of information 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
-
If its the will of the people then its not a rebellion.
-
It’s hardly far right tho is it? That’s just the label they slap on it to scare the sheep into doing what they want. 🤣
-
What you don't realise is, when you people do nothing sitting on the centre or centre left/right and you crash the country into the ground, where do you think people are going to move to. If people vote far left/right, it says you have failed to deliver for the public and you are to blame.
-
The biggest discussion post election is going to be electoral reform, when parties who will have 15-20% of the votes will barely have 5-6 seats.
-
Reform are saying what people want and denying mass migration is an issue does not ring true how does adding half a million new people help public services
-
Still voting reform
-
The reason people expect more from a Labour Government is because those it appeals to want something. Most right wing voters just want more freedom, lower taxes, low immigration and to be left alone.
