General Election - December 12th, 2019

SNP going for independence referendum ............ that didn't take her long did it? Irish have already set up a working party to see how they could do the same.





You wanted your Brexit so bad didn't you? Now it could just be England trying for a trade deal with the EU ..... A severely weakened position.

Fuck me, you never learn, Britain severely weakened?
I wondered why on earth anyone could possibly believe a person like Corbyn would benefit Labour, but it
now no longer surprises me.

Worst Labour performance since 1935 (when they were in disarray with a temporary leader).

Worse than the 209 seats that Michael Foot won and he was up against a leader riding the crest of a wave of a war victory.

Doing worse than Michael Foot took some doing.

You don't think Corbyn (as a leader) and Brexit are not much bigger issues?

I guess we will find out over the coming weeks the reasons why Labour lost so heavily in traditional areas. It will also be interesting to see if this is a long term shift in voting behaviour or many voters have lent their vote to the Tories.

If Johnson gives them a little of what they hope for the Tories could hold power in those areas for a long time. They've been marginalised for a while, feel like they've been ignored on Brexit and this is the result.

Ok Boomer.

Isn't that term used against right wingers?

If they do that, then they really haven't understood the full reason for the vote loss and they'll be out of power for even longer.

They are probably thick skinned enough to ignore what’s staring them straight in the face.

No, just ignorant people. It's not a right wing slur.

The Tories think the BBC is socialist.

The whole election was populist. Corbyn was and Sturgeon was.

Bbc as a whole might be left leaning. It's news department is stuffed with conservatives and former UKIP people.

Most people who vote Conservative do not advertise their politics on Social Media. Twitter? Forget it. Facebook - Family and Fiend contacts only

Hmm, interesting that. almost like they don’t feel safe because of the opposition, something that shouldn’t happen in a democracy but could happen in a fascist state...

Well, look at the bright side...

Now you can focus your political hate on Donald.

Who will get in again, Trump voters are far from impressed with their man constantly facing challenges from the
Democrats who, like remainers, will not accept a democratic result

Nah. Just hyperbolic older people.

probably misused at you although you do seem hyperbolic.
