Post Match Thread: Election 2017

[andyhinch]

Caroline Lucas is the Green Party Co-Leader and thats her constituency.

Got more votes than the SNP. 1 seat compared to 34

People laughed when I said Bojo for PM... its happening

From a Labour point of view, that would be a dream scenario. He'd get trounced in any ensuing election.

Yes this irritates me a bit.

So when they say we could stay in the single market. Does that mean we are still leaving the EU?

Expect a second referendum and a major vote to remain.

Brexit hasn't happened, isn't happening and will not happen

When do we get to hang the bastards?

The joys of FFTP. Electoral reform badly needed.

That's your opinion and goes against the people who voted out.

That's what most thought about Corbyn. Having said that, it's quite possible that Labour would have won with a different leader. Doing better better than expected is perhaps more of a reflection of how low expectations of Corbyn were.

May a dead duck
corbyn exceeded expectations by press and PLP
SNP misjudged indy2 feeling amongst some parts of Scotland
Libs imporve slightly but cleggys gone
Lucas wins again
NI sees all but DUP and Sinn Fien wiped out, SDLP and UUP gone.

Tories can form a government with the DUP support.

Lets see what happens next

Arithmetically the Tories could form a government by coalition with the DUP but that would be a red rag to a bull to the Republicans and could spell danger in Northern Ireland.
