General Election - 4th July 2024

2-0 is a dangerous lead.

Reform vote maybe a little overstated in the exit poll

 

[Gray]

Two nil to Labour but another big vote for Reform.

I am surprised that any of you are surprised.

I love Emily she buries Nadine every time haha

Amazed at the lack of a fuck given by that Kwasi bloke. He sits there smiling and happy to be there. If I were him I wouldnt show my face unless I had anything to defend, he fucked the place up

I know a few people who went to prep school like Kwasi and it is unbelievable how much they build confidence into people that far exceeds their ability.

 

[blue whippet]

He must be on decent gear.

He clearly has no awareness of anything which is how he managed to mess the economy up so much.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Looking more and more likely that the cons and reform will become as one - hard right wing.

Big Reform vote, 2nd in Sunderland South.

That's the %age chance that Curtice was talking about - could come 2nd in lots of places.

When Labour lose I call for proportional representation, now I am very glad we don't have that system! I think they'll get a lot of votes simply because people are sick of the Tories but also want to control immigration because they're thick enough to believe that's the cause of all of this country's problems.

I doubt it based on the number of votes they've got in the two declarations so far.

They've had big numbers. Could be second in the popular vote.

How the hell are Reform getting so many votes?!!? What is going on with people. Not exactly a good look when we as a country actually need to ramp up immigration, not deter people from coming here!!!

Why do we need to ramp it up?

 

[inbetween]

Many without realising it, it seems.

Immigration. It will obviously become the issue of the next decade.

Reform vote maybe a little overstated in the exit poll

It's something Curtice said - the % seats is by taking a lot where they had c. 25% vote. Have 30-40 of those, and it might be 8-10 seats.

The votes are going from Conservatives, not Labour (so far).

 

[Ric]

Good to see the Tories getting a kicking so far, but the Reform vote is a bit disturbing.

 

[madloaf]

2-0 is a dangerous lead.

Looking forward to seeing Micah on as a pundit over this leadsom character.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Andrea Leadsom turning into Jurgen Klopp.

[Nellies left peg]

Racist bastards?

And disillusioned people who don’t have a reasonable option to Labour or the tories. Protest voters who just want to give the major parties a wake up call. I’m surprised the turn outs are very low at just over 50 %

 

[SebastianBlue]

Immigration. It will obviously become the issue of the next decade.

It already has been, and continues to be the dog whistle of the far-right.

 

[Kippaxpete]

Completely ruling out re-joining the EU.
Constant jibes at Corbyn and rewriting history on that.
weak in condoning Israel and calling for cease fire.
Lapping up the endorsement from The Sun.

few off top of my head.

however, I understand he's had to navigate very carefully to win Tory voters and give Labour a sizeable victory.

I will be voting Labour.

I'm with you completely fella.

 

[Claytop]

Yup, Reform just taking Tory voters. I might be being naive but I’m not overly worried with the reform votes as it looks fairly protesty from the Tories.
