Ge 2017

[User62651]

Pundits up here thinking mainly blue so possibly a good night for Davidson but terrible for May, odd juxtaposition there. Voting is still all about the Union for many here, more than Brexit I think, Sturgeons call for Indy2 is looking like a bad call presently. 2015 was a one-off anti Cameron tirade up here and also kicking Labour for joining with Tories in the Better Together campaign, Indy2 was off the agenda then (already decided) so 56 of 59 seats painted a false picture of support for the real SNP I think rather than the left wing replacement of Scottish Labour SNP. From 8 MPs in 2010 to 32 in 2017 will be spun as good by SNP. Indyref2 will be shelved though.

Need to wait and see but politics gets very interesting when shock polls and results happen.

Squeaky bum time for many - Salmond, Robertson, Rudd to name a few.

edit: Gains in Scotland for Tories might make the difference in Tories getting an overall UK majority. Who'd have thunk it?

Am off to bed now. Predict a Tory majority of 47 seats, with most UKIP voters switching to the Tories and not to Labour as they had hoped.

Also exit polls don't include postal voting which will be strongly in favour of the Tories.

Have just read a poll that predicts the pollsters are going to receive a kicking

Imagine how embarrassing and pathetic for our nation it would be if it was a hung parliament :rofl:

And you think that would be funny! What part of democracy do you find embarrassing and pathetic?

Today on the forum it's been bliss - the reason why because all the political threads were shut so you had no where to post , you appear to believe that you must challenge every single post that you don't like and always in a forceful arrogant way , you have turned every single political thread on here into an embarrassment but then it just mirrors the political arena in the country right now.

Vote after vote is ripping the country right down the middle and there are a certain bunch of people that have their heads so far up there own backside they only see their own opinion and just dismiss anyone else. You are a perfect symbol of the current government and you can quite clearly see people have had enough of it and I have my fingers crossed that the Tories don't get their majority.

Interesting to see how' strong and stable' the Tories will be over the next few days.

Another GE in Sept / Oct coming up, unless something special happens in the next few hours

Or a fantastic result for democray, nice slur on your fellow countrymen.
Our nation didn't call the GE, a political party did, your bitterness is misdirected.
Glad you find it funny!

I think he was being sarcastic mate. Well that's how I read it.

Great to see the collapse of the far far far right BNP right vote, the severe reduction in the far far right UKIP vote and the loses for the far right Tory vote. IMHO.

The Daily Mail will be livid.

Looking like the 18-24 year olds can be arsed to vote after all. Great that they have finally realised they need to have a say in the future of their country. World have been nice if they would have done that last year, but promising for the future anyway.

What has 20 years ago got to do with today?

Don't forget, England won the World Cup in 1966.

Sorry mate, I didn't realise we could only go back that far for certain areas

Of course it was sarcastic , some are always on the look out to create disharmony

I think Alister Campbell summed it up well.
Labour haven't won, the Tories have lost
May proved to be unpopular but, I think, many that voted Labour did so to vote against May rather than for Corbyn.
Now we have a hung Parliament and even more uncertainty than we had last week......
Let's do it all again in October.......😣

So who takes over from May, Ruth Davies, or when she talks about stability due to Brexit (oh dear I said that word) talks starting in 11 days, is she holding fast, or at least hopes to until/or pushed?

I said as much in another thread earlier.

What is it about Brighton Pavilion, amazing numbers for the Greens.

Exactly what happened to Labour in 2010, people in this Country deserve more credit at times and get fed up of being treated by idiots by politicians.
