[Politics] The General Election Thread

[melias shoes]

FPTP has simply endorsed a binary vote in 2016 that wasn't FPTP. It seems that to some people, both systems are 'undemocratic' and results shouldn't be accepted; however, they can't have it both ways.

They accept it when the result goes their way.

Tories 45% lab/lib/snp/grn/pc 53%

No, some people did actually vote for the party they believe in. I voted Leave in the referendum, but voted Labour in the GE as I know deep down that Labour have people like me at their core beliefs, I am not a wealth generator, I can’t afford my own home and I have disabled children, who don’t get the support they need, due to cuts. I put these facts above my perceived desire to leave the EU.

 

[B-right-on]

We have had a massive swing to leave from remainers because we voted to leave and we have had three years of obstruction. EVERYONE has had enough of this shit. Not sure that Leave would have won if we knew then what we know now. Anyway we voted to leave however narrow the majority, let’s get on with it.

This. Absolutely gutted the way this Brexit has torn the country up, never ever seen so much devisiveness as caused by Brexit.

Get it done Boris so people can have normal conversations without all the bitter hatred.

One Nation Conservatives... more Heseltine than Thatcher?

Going with Corbyn and talking about a 2nd referendum did for Labour before they even started. If you had to put together a Lose campaign I doubt anyone could have done it better than Labour have managed. Madness.

A decent leader and no talk of referendums and Labour would have won by a similar majority to the Torys imo

Maybe they didn’t want to win - the Tories now have to sort out Brexit and the ensuing doom and gloom forecast to come with it...!

LOL

I know, made me laugh as I typed it. You can’t beat a good conspiracy theory...

I'd be alright with that.

In some ways I think the big majority works against the ERG. This is a mandate for London Mayor Boris more than JRM's poodle Boris,

They certainly would’ve been more credible.

All those good labour candidates forced to campaign for the idiots in charge....

Maybe, just maybe Labour knew what they were doing putting the unelectable Corbyn up as the public face of Labour, thus ensuring a Tory win, and leaving the Tories to sort out their own generated mess of Brexit.

If the doom and gloom predictions of the Remain camp are correct, then by the time we get to next General Election Labour (with a new man and softer approach} should be able to clean up!

Who knows!

Yeah shame about all the people that will die in that time

We’re over populated anyway, no one will miss them, they probably voted Labour anyway!*

More anyone than Thatcher, if you please! ................... but not Heseltine, who would ignore the democratic wishes of the people and cancel Brexit.

Well said Sir. It is why, as a passionate remainer, I voted Tory. To get it done and move on.

[Thunder Bolt]

Gove absolutely lashing on the pro Jewish rhetoric. I still think Corbyn has lost this election every bit as much as Boris has won it.

Corbyn is definitely the reason. I can't believe a mining area like Blythe voted Tory, places like Redcar, Dewsbury, Don Valley etc have gone Tory. Their forefathers will be turning in their graves

People still die whatever the colour of the government.

No. I'll take it on the chin, the people got what the people wanted, fair and square and congratulations to them

You'll be pleased to know that my shit day is about to get worse. I've got a meeting with my IFA later today, where I'll get another kicking for not taking his advice. Sadly, I'm going to have to swallow that too and tell him to do what he has been asking me for nearly 3 years now.

I just hope for everyone's sake that 'Get Brexit Done' isn't viewed in the same way as 'Let's spend £350 million a week on the NHS' 3.5 years down the line.
