At least we will be a low tax, low regulation and open immigration country under Boris. I wanted a hung parliament, but that aside this is the best result. Boris's majority means he doesn't have to pander to the extremes of his party and the size of Labours defeat means they will hopefully realise that Socialism is dead and revert to New Labour and become a credible opposition again. Fuck off Oh. Edited December 12, 2019 by Wretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPDTT Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I voted Lib Dem. My preferred outcome was no conservative majority, no labour majority, labour + SNP no majority. Lib Dems = king makes. Edited December 12, 2019 by MPDTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted December 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 12, 2019 Awful exit poll, then the Beeb immediately turn to Priti Patel's smug face in the studio. Welcome to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoote Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Well, have to give at least a passing credit to the Tory machine. They managed to turn this into a psuedo-second referendum, with a perfect storm of the wheels coming off the Corbyn bus. I don't do festive as a rule, even less incentive now. Let's see what kind of politician BJ really is now he has his "mandate"...also, right now I hate being a namesake for a previous Labour leader.

Gotta get Brexit done, haven't we mate? Gotta leave that union whilst the rich get richer and everything that made this country truly great is fucked over in the name of brutal nationalism.

Keith Houchen Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Rare for me to defend MPTTDTTD but he made it clear what his priority was and voted for who would best serve that priority instead of treating a political party like a football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the Brexit Party in and it's almost certain the "leave without another referendum" side got a minority of votes. We have a shit electoral system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ash says, it’s about Socialism not Corbynism, it’s a 30+ year fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted December 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 12, 2019 A real gut puncher. It will be interesting to see how Sturgeon navigates the next few years. Scotland turning into a Simpsons character on the electoral map makes it fairly clear what Scotland thinks of all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I've just checked the prediction for my area and it's showing a 97% chance of a Tory gain after it's been Labour for as many years as I can remember. I only ever see Labour posters in peoples front windows and I've never seen the Tory fella doing the rounds. One thing I have noticed though is as far as canvassing goes the Tory election materials must have outnumbered Labours by about 4-1.
