How funny. The Tory followers are still trying to be smug after a humiliating, self-inflicted weakening of their and our collective sphincters. Cheers Torys for muddying an already shitsoaked landscape. You had one job - now you've got plenty more. Biggest political facepalm for eons?

The good news is of course that the rest of Sussex has retained its senses and remained blue. Not surprising that Brighton has rejected the Conservatives with the city full of students who will support any party that offers them lots of free stuff blah blah blah....

Being reported in Hastings that lots of first time voters were turned away at polling stations despite being on the electoral register.

For Labour to go from 22% behind in the polls to 2% in two months is amazing progress, highest share of votes since 2001.
If Labour maintain this resurgence and a party like the Libdems could split the Conservative support and take the remain tory vote, we could be looking at a new government in the next election.

Maybe they won't be able to do much of their manifesto, but they will be able to get on with Brexit, and that's more important. Do we need another election getting in the way of that, with no guarantee that we won't have another hung parliament?

Another election would obviously be massively disruptive, a minority Tory government backed up by some crazy religionists should be less disruptive IF MPs from both sides of the divide can accept compromise.

Also would they call an election with the risk of losing even more seats, never mind another hung parliament?!

Your leader is perceived as a modern day Jesus (and even shares his initials). You manage to mobilise millions of disaffected young people to come out and vote for him (by promising all the free things). Your opponent is woeful and runs what must be the worst campaign in UK political history. Yet despite all that, you finish a distant second/last in a two horse race.

If I were in that position, I'd probably be trying to pretend I was some sort of victor too.

To be fair in the Jesus myth he didn't have the Murdoch press to contend with. :lolol:

Being reported that students did not have a clue what free stuff for them actually costs the taxpayers.

Admittedly, only being reported by me.

Of course, Sussex has some of the constituencies with the oldest voter base in the country, so of course it'll remain Blue. However, it isn't as blue as it was:

Arundel & South Downs: Lab +11.5% share on last GE
Bognor & Littlehampton: +11.1%
Horsham: +10.2%
Bexhill & Battle: +10.6%
Wealden: +11.3%
Worthing West: +17.5%
Worthing East & Shoreham: +19.8%

So it's still Blue, there's no denying but i think it'll be a bit of a wake up call to the Tories that they'll have to work in the future for their votes. I think it'll be the same for the entire Party, to be honest - complacent got them into this mess, so they have to sort themselves out to prevent any further embarrassment.

Well, no.

You have to question the c22% polls given those polls had the Tories still 8-12% ahead immediately prior to the election. I'd suggest they were wrong all along.
