UK General Election 24/25

[Beamrider]

I think you are describing the new Reform voters

Same as Tories, but they use crayons to vote.

Reform are taking votes from the Tories but they are also taking votes from Labour.

This election was always going to be a Labour win but the reform understory is bloody concerning

 

[dee]

Crikey - BBC suggesting Sinn Fein as largest party in NI

 

[MomoWASright]

Which Taytos do they endorse?

 

[Bradley]

Northern.

Adams may not be running things but his influence is strong.

 

[dee]

Which Taytos do they endorse?

Can we get a boatload of Northern and southern taytos and put them to an SCM taste test?

 

[MomoWASright]

Momo endorses this suggestion.

 

[Woland]

Reform have now lost four of their supposed 13. Can go to bed a bit more chilled now.

Go on Jezza

 

[Atlas]

Reform with Anderon in.. Ashfield the common sense capital of UK.
And he can start getting his country back, whatever that means.

And lolz at Galloway losing Rochdale. See ya

We did this in Dublin with an “independent” adjudicator (ie not Irish).

The North triumphed.

 

[StevieM]

Ian Duncan-Donuts back in cause Labour split its vote between 2 candidates.

 

[Atlas]

Reform dropping from 13 to 4 currently
Greens have won Bristol which is great
Corbyn takes Islington as an ind

[Gerry_A_Trick]

It's a bit mad that Labour doubled their seats with very few extra votes.

 

[Atlas]

It really is.

Reform are third in share of votes with more votes than lib dem but like 65 less seats.
Greens have half the Reform vote but same number of seats.

Vote for Reform allowed Labour in

 

[MomoWASright]

Any talk of proportional representation may be off the cards.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Reform had 4m votes and 4 seats, Lib dems 3.4m and 71 seats, Tories had 6.7m and 119 seats. I understand that it would never be votes equals exact proportion of seats, but that feels totally broken in terms of a democratic vote?

Crazy when you see it like that. Great news if a longer term splinter party remains and makes any hopes of a Tory resurgence next time around more difficult.

How long til Sunak resigns do we think? I think he'll stand down as leader next week and as an MP before end of August.

 

[Athens]

Johnny Mercer also lost his seat.

 

[the count]

Independent my arse

 

[StevieM]

I wonder if the lettuce would have been the better bet to win South West Norfolk?

 

[StevieM]

Independent my arse

All that bitter Guinness has been too much for you.

 

[dee]

Thank fuck it wasn't 13 seats, 4 is still a concern although I'm pleased Farage got elected cos now he'll have to do the job instead of swanning around saying how shit all the MPs are

 

[Bradley]

I have decided to believe that Starmer is way smarter than Corbyn and also more Corbyn than Corbyn and just decided not to advertise that until he's got his feet in number 10.

There'll be free wifi, free buses, free uni education and a new Brexit vote by teatime tonight.

I should also add that by Saturday morning, none of this will be any concern to me as I'll be living in One Ireland For All.

Steve Baker got heavily beaten in Wycombe :-D

The States?

 

[The Nomad]

Same as Tories, but they use crayons to vote.

As I was voting yesterday there was a stereotypical reform voter arguing about having to use a pencil rather than a pen.

"Why? She was gesturing to the volunteers"

It'll all be a conspiracy to how they got so few seats.
