Weekly Survey: Labour conference and the Reckless defection

have your say ll (long)

We are now well into party conference season, and while the media may have set their narrative for Labour’s conference last week, how do you feel it went? Take into account how it was reported, how it came across with voters, the policies that were announced, the performances of those representing the party and, of course, your own experiences of it.

We want to know how party supporters really felt about it.

Particularly, how did Shadow Cabinet members do? Shadow ministers often speak at a number of fringe events, and their contributions can be missed by many. Are there any who perhaps didn’t get the credit they deserved? Or that got the credit they did deserve?

Which Shadow Cabinet minister had the best conference?

The defection of Mark Reckless from the Tories to UKIP ensured that UKIP’s conference finished with a bang and the Tories’ started with a whimper – but how will it affect Labour? Is it another sign of a crumbling, divided Tory Party? Or are we looking at more evidence of the unstoppable UKIP force which will soon be rolling into the Labour heartlands?

Is Reckless a Labour problem?

Our weekly survey will be open until noon on Thursday. You can vote here.
