Fair play, I appreciate your taking the time to respond. That's honestly the first genuine argument I've been given for a Conservative vote

Brilliant. So what do the Tory Party have in their locker to offer the disaffected youth? This is the $64m question that I've yet to hear a single coherent answer to. The conservatives have long been unable to offer anything to anyone bar the super rich but thanks to their bottomless funding...

It wasn't a swipe at you if that's what you're asking. But there are still some quite bitter sounding posts on this thread whinging about all the bloody students in Brighton somehow radically altering the results here, and suggesting that progressives should be more upset than Tories and...

Are we really still hearing from upset Tories that this was anything but a DISASTER for the right? Just look at the facts. How are you going to persuade the electorate to vote for you again? There are no ideas and you've nothing left to bribe people with. Even your ferocious press machine has...

It has long been accepted that the majority of people start off idealist and liberal, before age catches up with them and their attitudes change to consider they're better served by right of centre politics. However, one notable difference with this at the moment is that where in the past you'd...

But that 6% is predominantly due to the returning UKIPpers, so they're not new votes per se, just old voters who've come back. Scotland is a bit more interesting as they have picked up new voters there, but this is primarily because Scotland is the only part of the country where the Tory party...

Exactly. At the end of the day this result suggests there is only going to be MORE support for the Labour lead progressive side of UK politics moving forward, whilst the Tories have shown they can't attract a new audience and still rely on their core demographic of the wealthy, ignorant and...

Oh come on Bozza, surely you have to concede that to have gained over 30 seats and eroded scores of Tory majorities in previously "safe" constituencies across the country will definitely be considered a success for Corbyn's campaign. To have gotten an overall majority would have taken a national...

So how long can a DUP-propped-up coalition of chaos last? It's a shambles. By the time of the next vote (whenever that may be) Tory support will be shot to bits for their getting into bed with the DUP. Meanwhile a resurgent progressive vote will be buoyed by the inroads they made this...

Oh get over yourself you pompous prick. We've all been affected by cancer as a disease. That has nothing to do with using the term cancer in this context

Perhaps then they were complacent, so this time round were determined not to get shafted again

Cancer is commonly used in this context. Don't make out like it's some insensitive shock remark mocking sick people

I don't get the Goldsmith one. The locals won't vote for him when he's campaigning as an independent on a hot local issue, but as soon as he rejoins the tories, going back on his principled stance against Heathrow expansion they decide they'll go back and vote for him again, Brexit be damned

Well it isn't clear though is it? Realistically we're going to have to have another election and the parties are going to have to regroup to understand how best to fight that. If Labour or the Tories decide to campaign on a platform of offering a referendum on the final terms of leaving the EU...

No, I'm old enough to know first hand the effects of Tory cancer on our country. It's precisely the term I meant

That's a new one. Oh no wait. It's not. It's what always happens when we let those self-serving buffoons in power

All Brighton Finally Free of Tory Cancer The massive swing to oust Kirby in Kemptown, along with big majorities for Kyle in Hove and the excellent Dr Lucas in Pavilion means our city is finally free of any shred of unwelcome Tory rule. Can't tell you how proud it makes me. We're a PREMIER...

Whilst nationally this won't change things a jot, at least we should get rid of that odious **** Kirby from Kemptown in what will be one of the few swings from Tory to Labour
