OK WHAT WILL THE GENERAL ELECTION RESULT BE?

[Wolf]

Where now for Lib Dems? Took the gamble to go with stop Brexit message, not something they should have done imho. Perhaps they thought they could nab a chunk of the 48% of the remain vote. Sounds like the country said no to this. Is Jo the right leader?

Thats a very good question, my personal view on that is had Jo Swinson not taken such a hardline and instead of categorically say they'll cancel Brexit but would host a 2nd referendum then I think they'd have taken a lot more votes from Conservatives. A lot of their policies are really good and will resonate with a lot of people myself included in that, but this hardline approach has cost them.

Swinson talks well and i think they'll keep her at the helm but they need to stop the hardline approach on the one key area.

That will depend on whether she can hold on to her seat. Sounds like that's not a sure thing.

Very true, but I don't think Lib Dems need a massive shake up if she doesn't, they just need to re-address their hard line on Brexit as other policies are in a good place, so if they have to change leader it won't be as much of an upheaval as Labour's.


On another note Labour candidate for Stoke absolutely scathing of Corbyn and Labour's front bench not being in touch with their own candidates let alone the people, stating its not Brexit fault for losses but purely his parties leadership ineptitude and out of touch morals.

A lot of the swings from Labour to Con in the North East have actually been swings from Labour to the Brexit Party

 

[ger147]

Head of the DUP in Westminster Nigel Dodds loses his seat to Sinn Fein.

 

[Captainron]

Bishop Auckland gone to Conservatives.

A place which Thatcher supposedly devastated back in the day and one which has been a Labour seat since the 1930’s.

Labour are stuffed! Corbyn has to be sacked off because he is an utter chomper and completely untrustworthy

 

[ger147]

Corbyn will not fight another general election. A bit of an angry man speech IMO, blaming everyone but himself.

 

[ger147]

Boris holds his seat with an increased majority.

 

[ger147]

Swinson has lost her seat, 3rd Westminster leader of the nite gone.
