Denton and Gorton by-election - Green Party wins

[Don Karleone]

Here we go

Or not

 

[yeseye]

Lucy Powell didn't look very comfy in that interview.

She’ll be the 1st rat to jump ship.
Labour have dropped an almighty bolloc not allowing Burnham to run as he’d have won it imo.
Labour & the Tories are finished thankfully.

 

[Don Karleone]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

 

[Don Karleone]

Well done, Keith.

 

[Winchester]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

Be careful what you wish for...

 

[yeseye]

Green win

 

[PinkFinal]

[yeseye]

Here are the vote counts for the candidates in first, second and third place:

[Don Karleone]

Be careful what you wish for...

Nah. THIS is what the country needs.

 

[Lord Lion]

Be careful what you wish for...

I would rather a Green MP than Reform. Reform would destroy the country for their own enrichment if they got a whiff of power.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Well done D & G.

Caught part of her speech.

Refreshing.

 

[Craig]

Get in

 

[Lowtower]

Who is getting thrown under the bus for this one by our glorious leader?

 

[Craig]

So it begins. The Trump wannabe is now saying Greens cheated.

 

[urban genie]

Fantastic news, when do I get my free weed ;-)

On a serious note, this is a result that should drive better politics hopefully

reform have been given a clear fuck off if they think they will walk into power and that not all are fallong fpr theor bullshit
Labour see now what a PR disaster their leadership teams is and that a tactic of copying the right wing to stop the right wing is both stupid and inefective.
Greens are empowered and hopefully become another viable optipn to the traditional 2 party system which reform were (and now restore) hoping to be the only other choice restore.

Congratulations Hannah, lets hope you serve us well

 

[M18CTID]

Wow - some news to wake up to! Pissed it by over 4000 votes too. Even with Labour imploding and loads jumping ship, Reform couldn’t get anywhere near the Greens.
What it also shows is that while polling was closer than the final result indicated, the bookies had it right all along in making the Greens clear odds-on favourites.

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

And the country sinks further into the abyss.

 

[Don Karleone]

Sorry, +27.5%

 

[Craig]

And the country sinks further into the abyss.

How do you work that out? Racists rejected and the party ran by liars and the charmless man trying to copy Reform also rejected. If you’re a Labour supporter this might prove to be the kick up the arse they needed. Clearly shows them moving any further to the right is costing them both ways.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

That is an impressive margin.

The fact that the two populist lunatic parties came first is a sad indictment of where we are as a country.

Labour and the Tories need to sort their shit out because there’s a massive grand canyon sized chasm in the middle of British politics that needs filling.

If this were my constituency I honestly I think I might have stayed home for the first time in my electoral life.
