SNP Yer-da cybernats crying into their cornflakes. Good. Douglas Ross and Rees-Mogg gone. Effing Brilliant. Red tories everywhere delighted. Terrible. Farage and his pals. Concerning but hopefully a protest vote. Anything else? Greens did well in England. 4 MPs which is good for a diddy party in a FPTP system. Corbyn won. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom Farter Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Truss getting the boot is significant. She's been open that she's now just a vector for certain US interests into UK politics. There was an element of voters asserting sovereignty in rejecting her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because at this juncture in history it would introduce more Faragists to parliament. I'm pro PR and couldn't care less who is elected because of it. It's like wanting independence and being scared that Scotland might elect a right wing government (which they would do eventually) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Apparently Labour have lost Birmingham Perry Barr to a pro-Palestine independent. Jess Phillips was close to losing in Yardley, down to a 700-vote majority. Shabana Mahmood's majority in Ladywood was cut from 28k to 3k, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Recount in Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire - not because the votes are close, but because the number of votes verified does not match the number of votes counted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Labour got 10,269,051 votes in 2019 and that was a 'disaster'. So far they've got 9,485,610 with 20 seats to be declared and that is a tremendous night for them. Strange. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Paisley and Renfrewshire North and Paisley and Renfrewshire South both going from SNP to Labour. Something quite comforting seeing all of Paisley go back to red again. It had been for about 100 years before 2015. Historians will look back at tonight as the night the country finally moved on from the independence referendum result. Took us 10 years of bizarre politics and electoral results right enough, but we’ve done it. Back to normalcy. -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when he's a troll, and a very poor one at that. On the result, an absolute pumping and thoroughly deserved for the SNP up here, Mhairi Black agreed by saying that they stopped listening to the voters, clearly why she was standing down. I guess we'll see what labour will do, maybe they'll suprise me and look to convince us to rejoin the EU, stop endorsing and enabling the killing of poor folk around the world, but I'm not holding my breath. I'd love to be wrong and labour to do positive things because I don't want things to get worse, but I just can't see it. At the moment I have no one to vote for.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
