Johnson has no hope of pleasing MPs on both fronts, yet his constant caving to rebellions brings its own risks, intensifying the perception of a chaotic and rudderless government. Their job is to represent their constituents’ interests, and they are emboldened by the knowledge that their leader regularly reverses course under pressure.
It is no wonder the MPs in these two new battlegrounds object so regularly and loudly to their own government. Masses of new, affordable homes are a dream for red wall renters, but a nightmare for remain wall homeowners, for whom the nimby instinct runs deep.Įven the fate of Boris Johnson himself splits the battlegrounds: the prime minister’s distinctive appeal in the red wall would be hard to replace, but Tories in the remain wall would breathe easier with a more traditional figure in charge.
Ambitious levelling up investment is what red wall voters want to see remain wall voters fear higher tax bills will follow. The two new fronts the Conservatives must defend are different worlds, at odds over the government’s domestic policy agenda. This divide in outlook and priorities stretches beyond the electoral battleground: many of the 200 or so (currently) safe Conservative seats resemble one of the new battlegrounds, and their MPs will often align with less secure colleagues. Red wall seats have low house prices and more voters in council housing remain wall seats have expensive housing and high home ownership rates. Red wall seats are working class and graduate light remain wall seats are middle class and graduate heavy. The red wall is clustered in the Midlands and the north the remain wall in the south. The government therefore cannot afford to alienate either the red wall or the remain wall.īut these seats are poles apart. But if these are combined with substantial losses on either of the new fronts, the Conservative majority is immediately at risk. Lost seats in the traditional swing areas are a certainty if the government’s popularity falls. Tory MPs are emboldened by the knowledge that their leader regularly reverses course under pressure This “remain wall” includes many former safe seats where the Tory majority has been slashed since Brexit. There are now about two dozen Conservative seats in remain areas facing a credible Labour challenge, and another 30 also in largely remain areas where the Conservatives need to fend off resurgent Liberal Democrats. The Brexit realignment that turned the red wall blue has also had implications elsewhere. They will be as competitive as ever next time. There are at least 50 seats in this category, market towns and “swingy” suburbs whose mixed demographics reflect the nation, and where party control has shifted over many cycles on the ebb and flow of national opinion. (it's probably not hard to tell that i am strictly an amateur.).Traditional swing seats might get less attention but they are just as numerous and count the same towards the outcome. after awhile, you guessed it-that became my comfort zone, for better or worse. so, that freed me up to learn some things-i wish it were more!-about red without having to worry about screwing up my vegas projects. i recall thinking at the time-early on, just after i had first started to play with it a little-"jeez, i can't handle the boris red learning curve and the red-vegas interface learning curve at the same time".so i took heed of several posters at this site who claimed always to use red as a stand-alone product. It's honestly been such a long time since i tried to use red from within vegas that i can't quite remember what was so frustrating about it.

i'm probably stuck far earlier on the learning curve than you.in fact, i'm quite sure that i don't know how to use anywhere near 50% of red's capabilities yet-and i've had it for 1 1/2 years! but, again, i got comfortable doing a few things pretty well after a month or so and haven't really applied myself enough to the remaining functions of the software. now, like you, i have settled into a comfort zone of being able to do some things really well-but maybe i have become too comfortable.

That's okay, it has been worth exploring red with, and without, help from the manual however, it took awhile for me to become competent with just a few of the many, many functions.

Re: the learning curve.i was a little surprised when i first received the boris red box in the contained a single cd rom of software and a 500-page user's manual that doesn't fully scratch the surface of red's capabilities.
