General Election - 4th July 2024

[Cellarite]

They can't do anything else really today as they're not allowed to publish anything that could influence the vote. A few guides to voting and that sort of stuff and then pictures of dogs. It's probably better content than they usually produce.

They could do a feature on what a fuckwit Gareth Southgate is.

Can we see who voted for who please?

Looks like reform are going to do very poorly, not surprised

Not poorly enough.

They shouldn't be on the bleeding screen.

Which channel is she on? I've tried BBC, ITV and Sky News but no sign of her.

CH4 Ged.

Liz Truss will be confused tonight as she finds pain pleasurable.

Prediction that 30p Lee will lose his seat

Seems unlikely, unless the 13 is optimistic?

Prediction that 30p Lee will lose his seat

Give the **** 30p a day to live on.

They’ve got a foothold and can influence the Tories. The world is a rough place at the moment and the right always rises when people are skint and desperate. Trump is coming too. It’s already happened there. I’m worried this is the thin end of the wedge.

There was always a hard right in the Tory party. They just jumped ship.

In Spain Vox broke away from the conservative party.

Possibly they will have less power over the Tories than when they were inside it.

Who knows?

I hope I stay awake long enough to see that.

That exit poll is a tale of two half's.

Labour's majority is a fantastic result.

The reform prediction is very worrying. I assume many of them are going to be knife edge so we will have to see the results but any seats at all is really bad news. When was the last time we had openly racist MPs? Tories in the 70s?

 

[East Level 2]

CH4 Ged.

Cheers. I keep seeing Cambell, Maitlis, Mad Nad and others on there.

He's a far right libertarian that identies as a centrist moderate. Nihilism and Faragism are natural bedfellows.

See my other post, as I remembered my run-ins with him in other threads in the Political Forum and now understand why he sees Reform as “right-leaning”.

But if in 4, 8 years the Tories get themselves together, win back a load of seats, no majority government is elected, and the Tories need bedfellows?

Tories in the 2010’s and 2020’s.

It could mean the opposition becomes populist far right which is very worrying. They'll be fighting a 5 year woke war whilst Labour tries to rebuild society.

I loved the barchart for the exit polls.



A lovely middle finger

Academics are quite expensive, you'll only see her now and again.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Why 2 threads? Ffs

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

What about?
I flicked over to see her immediately trying to claim it wasn't Blair levels and got laughed at by Harman and KGM.

Alistair Campbell told her to get over Johnson, and she said it was a sexist comment, and then doubled down when she was told it really wasn't sexist.
