We'll have to agree to disagree on that one mate.Huskaris said:I have to say I'm impressed that the UK public, faced with the opportunity to have more or less everything for free, have not been bribed and been able to hold their nerve.
For me it restores faith in the British public that I never really lost.2 -

But is this not the problem? We can ask opinions but surely facts are what matter? Time and time again we can show that migrants to this country are positive on it's growth, we can show they are net contributors to services. White British are a shrinking number in this country. Personally I don't see that as a bad thing but maybe some need educating in why it's not a threat to their way of life. We all live in this country together and we all want a good life, why some might think that it's a zero sum game if someone from Europe might come here to make a better life for themselves needs to be battled.The_Organiser said:
It might be one or both colthe3rd, you’d have to ask people. And that’s what local politicians in these areas should be trying to ascertain. Rightly or wrongly, a lot of people don’t like change, they don’t like the make-up of their Town/City/Country changing so dramatically in a short period of time. They link local issues with these changes.colthe3rd said:
What issues? Genuinely I'd like to hear what issues these are. I live in a seat where only 40% of people here were born in this country. Are they responsible for this countries problems? Or is it the lack of funding by successive Tory governments in local services?The_Organiser said:Rothko, you might not like hearing it but it’s foolish to deny these are real issues that have not been managed in the eyes of a lot of voters and it results in these outpourings.
For the umpteenth time, I’m not suggesting they’re right, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening and is not a factor when it comes to voting day.1 -

Seems poor.

Conversely they may have picked up Labour voters who would never vote Tory.cantersaddick said:

That seat has been one of Labour's safest traditionally.0 -
Yet he resigned pretty much straight away....carly burn said:
If this exit poll is correct it appears that Cameron did not fuck up by calling a referendum.MrOneLung said:I voted conservative and am on way home from work Xmas party so not seen any coverage yet.What I will say is that I am pleased if predictions are true but have always said that to have a strong government you need a strong opposition and Corbyn et al are not that.Cameron fucked up by promising referendum.May fucked up by calling an unnecessary election which caused this Brexit impasse.Labour fucked up by not getting behind Brexit and then positioning themselves to challenge at the next election
The Tories will be as strong as they've ever been.

Oh, why should he worry ..... now he'll pick up £80k salary and comforted by £200k annual expenses.The_Organiser said:Am I right in thinking the Blythe Tory MP Is a former NHS worker - oh the irony if so.
Gravy train.

Blyth Valley. The Brexit party won the seat for the Conservatives. They took votes from Labour. A lot don't get this.

Do all the channels use the same exit poll data? Did each channel call the same majority?0

Surely we don't have to be cynical about every person that seeks public office. Maybe, just maybe, he believes in something. I doubt he went into politics to jump on a gravy train, given that he was standing in a seat the tories would never win...Oggy Red said:

Yes it's an over-simplification to suggest that all Brexit voters would normally vote Tory.

Was a sky/itv/BBC joint poll.MrOneLung said:Do all the channels use the same exit poll data? Did each channel call the same majority?
In reality they jointly funded it and ipsos mori carried it out. Very good at this sort of thing are ipsos.1 -
This is three things: people like Johnson. He won two elections in London for god's sake, and they hate Corbyn. Also, brexit. No surprises here.0

I keep hearing tonight that this is a Brexit election.
If that's so, why are the Lib Dems predicted to do so poorly?0 -

We basically have three countries now - Large English cities (Labour), Scotland (SNP) and everywhere else (Tory).
This is not going to end well.0 -
