  • In the pub, my niece said that this time round, the youth vote is real. " it's become cool to vote" she said. At 21.55....

    I'm hoping this puts an end to the suggestion of a take over by the hard left, maybe they have finally given a mandate that the whole Labour party can accept and build upon together. If the have energised the youth vote, they have defied the establishment again. Early days yet saying that.
    Those young people didn't ever have to travel on a nationalised railway run by British Rail or suffer when the country was in the grip of the Trade Unions with constant strikes. Labour Governments have always overspent and left the economy in a worse state than they found it.
    Fuck me you sound like the Daily Mail. Stuck in the 1970s.

    Privatising the railways has really been a great success....
    I remember the mess the country was in under Labour in the 70s. Young people voting today have no idea what that was like.
    Change the record - the world has changed since the 1970s. You'll be going on about Winston Churchill next.

    Should I start reminding you of all the disasters the Tories have presided over?

    Tbh we're probably f***ed whoever is in charge. Our economy is knackered!
    Jeremy Corbyn's policy of tax and spend would take us back to the 70s.
    You love the 1970s.
    I remember how bad the 70s were under the type of Labour policy proposed by Corbyn.
    They are not policies from the 1970's.
    Amen. These policies are *PROGRESSIVE*. The Tory propaganda machine is *REGRESSIVE*.

    They lost control of the EU referendum, they lost control of the General Election. They're gonna have to stop the negative campaigns.

    322 enough to save Theresa's ass if DUP save the day.

    May is toast. Nothing will save her - save the Tories maybe.

    Honestly Corbyn would be wise to stay out of this. Tories would be in a mess internally and he has a head of steam. Wait 12 months and he could get a majority.

    Go now and he risks ruining it for himself as he couldn't get any of the policies through that people voted for.
    She's deadmeat. She'll resign first thing in the morning.

    As a Tory remainer I don't know what I want now!

    May has fucked up so I want her out
    Corbyn means Farage is back so it scares me
    I always say a party that close to a majority should be able to get the chance to govern

    Get a Tory remainer in for a soft Brexit?

    May was a remainer.

    Does May even know what she believes in?

    Let's limit the vote to only people who lived through the 70s then...

    This is the young people's country too now. We shall live and die by our decisions.
    I'm just pointing out that we've been through the 'tax and spend' policy before and it didn't work. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that if Corbyn should form a Government it doesn't happen again.

    Thanks to the drifting away of SNP vote in constituencies where the Conservatives were in second place, the Tories are picking up seats.

    We might end up with a Tory Government, thanks to the Scots!

    Knew I picked a bottle of The Famous Grouse for a reason... (besides being the cheapest in the local Tesco Express)

    Sadly, I'd expect Labour to do better out of the SNP disintegrating to be fair; if the Conservatives do manage quite well north of the border, then I fully expect Ruth to lead the entire party now. She'll have done a cracking job.
    Ruth isn't an MP though. The Tory leader would need to sit in the House of Commons.

    Plus I imagine she would never want the job.

    You may have a point, but I said the same about Corbyn very recently.

    Corbyn was supposedly the Labour Party's internal mess, and one that would be rolled over this year.

    Well it's looking like it won't until the next election as he wont have a majority to get his tax and spend polices through.

    A by-election of a safe seat could surely be organised.

    Does May even know what she believes in?
    Yeah, whatever the advisor told her the focus group had said 5 minutes before.

    Yeah. I don't know either. Everything's been thrown up in the air again.

    Exciting night & bizarre results again.

    Another Tory gain in Scotland. Renfrewshire East this time.
  • Billy Elliott just won Renfrewshire East
  • Dimbleby just shouts bloody hell after the Tories have another massive swing in Scotland

    You're learning the ways of the English very quickly, my friend.
  • So Scotland voted 2 to 1 for Remain... their seats could be the ones that prop up a hard Brexit.

  • Ha ha. Did anyone just hear Dimbelby say bloody hell on hearing the Renfrewshire East result ?

    Can I just say credit to all the C/conservatives on here. You all are taking this with a lot more grace and class than I might (and let's be real for a second, your party will probably have the Prime Ministership come Monday).
  • Lib Dem gain Dunbartonshire East from SNP.

    Used to live there mate! If anything, like the rest of the country, I'm getting back in touch with my youth.
  • Theresa May loves dressing in red...
  • LAB GAIN HIGH PEAK
  • Lib dems get their first seat. In scotland. Another big name SNP loss

    To be fair, hardly anyone on here seemed particularly enthused for May's Tories, considering not a single poster posted any kind of comprehensive support for any of their policies. Mostly, they're just anti-Corbyn.
