Why does it matter? You didn’t expect everyone to vote Tory like you did you? If there’s ONE good thing about this particular election being over, it’s that we don’t need to keep having the same old arguments over and over again. After all, your beloved Boris wants to bring us all together in a spirit of Great Britishness and “forgive and forget”, doesn’t he? So from tomorrow, when he waltzes back into Downing Street with his desired majority, it’s feckin irrelevant why anyone voted for anybody. We’ve all just got to get on with it, haven’t we, in that bed that’s been made by, or for, us? |

The bed will be a damn sight more comfortable not having to cuddle up to Eurocrats.

That’s very philosophical Will.
Or very Liberal.
According to the polls it’s a close call.
Where’s David Miliband when you need him?
This is the trouble when the Unions run a political party.
The only leaders elected are left wing.
You don’t get elected to government unless you have the middle ground.
Tony Blair did just that.

Tony was out for Tony, and very successfully at that. If it wasn't for the Brexit thing, I'd take a definite Tony over risking the Lunatic.

voted Labour too
Not having BJ messing up the one chance at Brexit with a crap deal. he was a remainer until a few months before the ref & there are more things at stake this time. don't like the leader but him working with others in coalition is lesser of two evils for me. KRO

To EPJ: Says the bloke who doesn't have to live here. Excuse me if I don't comment on Thai politics.
To Blue Ribbon: My middle name is Wittgenstein.

It does affect me though. The uncertainty has decimated the pound and my pension. Now it looks like it will be sorted, it's creeping back up.
Rule Brittania! GSTQ

Well the exit poll suggests you may be right about your first prediction, and my heart rate is starting to lower.
See how the rest go, soon enough, if the EP is correct:
1. Boris wins with a majority sufficient to do wtf he likes.
2. He rips up the agreement he signed last week with the EU and we leave with no deal.
3. The government begins dismantling workers’ protection rights and environmental laws.
4. Unemployment grows alarmingly in northern areas which used to be Labour strongholds. Those losing their jobs squeal like little piggies that no-one warned them that this would happen.
5. The government begins to sell off parts of the NHS - waiting lists for treatment grow exponentially. Old folk in the south who’ve voted Tory all of their lives and who voted Leave squeal like little piggies that no-one ever told them this would happen and ask where the £350m per week went.
6. Corbyn gets dumped ... two years too late.
7. Daffodils rot in the fields of Cornwall. Cauliflowers rot in the fields of Lincolnshire.
8. Fishermen who’ve been able to trawl for scallops off the coast of France squeal like little piggies because now they have to fish for pilchards off the coast of Cornwall, and no-one wants to eat pilchards except cats, do they?
9. Empty shelves appear at supermarkets - actually, this isn’t a prediction as such, because it’s already happening.
10. Trafalgar Day is declared a Bank Holiday, and a new bye-law for that day allows anyone who can prove that they have English ancestors going back at least 8 generations are allowed to beat up anyone who can’t.
11. EPJ is going to thank is lucky fcuking stars that he doesn’t live here now.

This isn’t just a Tory win.
This is the people of this country showing Comrade Corbyn that he and his terrorist pals are not acceptable to our democracy.
He is one dispicable nasty piece of work who may have convinced a few hardline left wingers, but not the likes of his constituents who voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, only to be told by their Labour MP that they knew better.
Justice has been delivered tonight.

In fairness most of the Conservative MPs also proved in no uncertain terms they do not give two f***s about what we want, and will only represent us, if they happen to agree with us.
Brexit and a completely insane communist helped Boris considerably.

I suppose Corbyn will insist on another election now.

Sadly this will only serve to lessen our position in the world and our economy as we exit the EU, and Scotland exits the UK. Our economy will be on a par with Spain, if we are lucky.

1. Sadly this will only serve to lessen our position in the world 2. and our economy as we exit the EU, 3. and Scotland exits the UK. 4. Our economy will be on a par with Spain, if we are lucky. 1. Lessen our position in the world, by being able to speak for ourselves, and not have a foreign power speak and decide for us ? Interesting take. 2. Depends. Hopefully Boris will over turn that can't leave without a deal law, then go and have another word with Brussels, informing them they no longer call the shots, and they are not getting the money. 3. They can't afford to, and it would be no great loss. Put it this way, the powers that be wouldn't offer an English independence referendum, you can be very sure. 4. You are funny. |

I suppose Corbyn will insist on another election now. What type of Conservative majority ? They didn't know what they were voting for ! Nah, they'll just say they got it wrong this time (not they were right, but failed to convince the electorate), we'll come up with some different fantasy for next time, and hope that works. Everything we just strongly believed in, will be binned for new ideas. Then slap Thornberry's tit, and say they won. |

It hasn't stopped plenty of other major European countries speaking for themselves, eg France and Germany. 2. An economy built on hopefully and possible. Hmmm - that's what I feared. 3. Sadly I think you do believe that. The break up of the United Kingdom will bring about years of problems on both sides of the border. Maybe in 100 years or so it might prove to have worked, but I suspect I will be long gone by then. 4. Yes - fair point. Spain would be aspirational!

Ha ha 1. Go figure 2. Yep. That was the fourth vote where the British people went for what they believed, but couldn't possibly know, the future would be better, as opposed to sticking with what they had. They really didn't like what they had. 3. Mixed feelings really. 4. You're killing me. |
