General Election - 4th July 2024

[Eebo]

It's laughable now, particularly reading this thread and the Conservative party thread. But, if my memory hasn't completely given up the fight, I'm pretty sure that when I joined this wonderful place, the forum had a reputation for being slightly (and I'm not being sarky) right of centre. I'm not sure you can say that now!

The Tories have travelled so far to the right in that time that many middle ground voters are now to the left of them.

It's possible that Labour now are not that far to the left of John Major

 

[I'm With Stupid]

OK, just for a bit of fun whilst we await 2200

You can pick three Tories to lose their seats tonight, who would they be?

For me:

Gullis
TC Davies
Atkins

Rees-Mogg would be funny. Braverman and Patel for being two of the biggest cunts in the country. But let's be honest, they were all parachuted into the safest of seats in the country.

 

[Eebo]

Rees Smug
Sunak
Shapps

Hard to pick just three but...

Sunak
Truss
Really-Smugg

I hate to leave out Shapps but he is 4 on his own so I guess I can't include him

Maybe 14 years of having to live with the fallout of their decisions has changed a few minds. It's easy to be a conservative in the abstract. It's harder to confront an explosion in food banks, witness relatives waiting for operations, and see your utility prices double and still support them.

It'll be interesting to see which Tories actually keep their seats. Will the places that still vote for the Tories be the ones with the crazies or the moderates?

I could go on and on. But those are top of the pile.

Couldnt support corbyn and defo not tories so voted lib dem last time and went to bed knowing what would happen , that was depressing to say the least

 

[MCFC Wirral]

The Bastard Northern Party?

A no nonsense, tell it as it is party who will always tell the truth. And if you can't take them then bugger off!

Also soft southern, lager drinking, nancy boy man united supporting poofters are not allowed in.

You’ve alienated most of the rags fan base there.

My constituency is Birkenhead which is stauch Labour.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

This should be an utter disaster for the Tories and I can’t see Sunak surviving despite it not really being his fault.

Despite saying that he would bring integrity and honesty back into his party. He’s as bad as all the rest of his thieving lying cunts

That, in my opinion, is the biggest thing that pisses me off with this country’s politics, how can anyone who doesn’t live in north Manchester have any understanding of what we require? It’s a joke.

I want to be represented by someone from the community.

Time out for love island , cu later

There’s too many to mention but honourable mentions go to
Donelan

Will be an interesting night and highly entertaining

Hope IBS loses his seat and slips over on the way out, the way he attacked the disabled over the Cameron years.

I can’t hate him. I think he’s a decent fella.

A small point of interest, and I confess I’m really stretching that word; there were 23 by-elections over the course of the last Parliament, and the first of those came a long 16 months after the 2019 General Election. If that were replicated over the coming Parliament, it would mean that, unless they ‘persuaded’ someone to fall on their sword, the Conservatives might not have the opportunity to parachute any of their big hitters back into the House for some time, maybe not even until after their party conference in 2025. The Shadow Cabinet might have to be filled with people who just happen to have the safest seats but have spent most of their political careers doing their second jobs. Free ride for Labour.
