Excuse me I live in Sheffield Hallam and did not vote for him.

OK then, just for you: 38.4% of the people in Sheffield Hallam who voted in 2017 are idiots.

 

Better?

Errr, don't blame the so-called "idiots" of Sheffield Hallam thank you. Blame the students in the constituency who wanted to give Clegg a bloody nose for backtracking on his tuition fees stance when part of the Tory/LibDem coalition. The students could vote him in and then clear off, it left those of us that live here with the repercussions ! I certainly didn't vote for him.

   There are many reasons that Labour won in 2017 and have retained the seat since- the students being a minor one.

 

Labour increased its share by 3.8%

Liberals share  dropped  by  5.4%

Conservative increased  by  10.2%

The lost Liberal vote mostly went to the Tories

The collapse of UKIP also benefited Labour and Tory but not Liberal

He was elected on Thursday 8 June 2017 when a lot of students would have left.

The Broomhill Ward, with its large student population, had been moved to Central. 

Crookes and Crosspool was added to Hallam

Hallam had the 13 highest  turnout at that election.

The students made far less difference than parents of students and former students.

One current prediction when the new boundaries are in place for the the next election( when there will be a further dilution of the student population) is:

LAB   26,032   47.9%

LIB     12,133   22.3%

CON  8,628     15.9%

Reform 3,477  6.4%

Who foisted this idiot on Sheffield ?

Ask also, who foisted Johnson, Truss and Sunak on the country.

Idiots abound wherever you look.

But who are Hallam CLP , who are the members ?

A good question to which I don't know the answer - but I bet a large number of them don't live in the constituency.

I would not defend him to save my life.

I am referring to your remark about who foisted him on Sheffield and saying similar to the idiots who foisted Johnson, Truss & Sunak on this country.

Both main parties are stupid enough to field unsuitable candidates and both parties supporters are also stupid enough to vote for them.

Despite the way you talk, the Tories have the most egg on their faces at the moment.

Locally, I think the Labour Party have - which is the point of this topic.
