General Election - 4th July 2024

I heard Buckland and Alexander's excellent speeches and then turned in. Good thing I didn't miss anything.

The complete wipeout of the Tories opening up the doors of Parliament to Farage and Co is a new low.

Truss can't even ad lib a 1 minute speach. Not even one sentence to admit defeat and congratulate her opponent.
This **** was once our pm.
Fuck her and fuck them.
Good riddance

Yes I agree that is what happens with our system. But the simple fact is that the electorate have not turned to Labour but have turned away from the Tory and SNP parties.

But In fairness to
Starmer It could be argued that is exactly how he played it and the result a huge majority.

He kept his powder dry during the election campaign, was quite non-commital on a lot of things and let the Tory’s have a few weeks off from destroying the country and focus on destroy themselves.

Yep, you’ve got to play the system as it exists, not as you want it to be. That’s why the Lib Dem’s have 70 seats from 3.4 million votes and Reform have just 4 seats from 4 million.

Just got up and checked the results.

Four decrepit seaside town full of homeless tramps for Reform, lol.

Exit poll was a bit out but some of those seats were very tight.

Truss was a comedy gold moment.

State of her, making everyone wait, the slow clapping, then the refusal to speak.

****

Not necessarily. I'm not a farage supporter but I believe in democracy, however misguided it may seem to be at times.
Farage is a racist ****, but people have voted for him and his party, and he and his ilk will sit in their seats as is our will as a nation.
He will have little sway in the house, thank fuck, he's all mouth and in the scheme of things, his self proclaimed victory will mean fuck all going forward.

Funnily enough I live in a very affluent area of the Country and the Tory’s won with a huge majority with Reform coming second. Very depressing and the MP is the bloke who voted against upskirting laws
