Born Hunter 17,746 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Some things in politics make you wonder. Something not right about this election. Apparently in the early hours David Davidson was talking about staying in the single market... I think we have been fukt over tbh. I think we've f****d ourselves over tbh. Too much talk of dissatisfaction with the Tories. I honestly think a lot of the more hard right refused to back the Tories in addition to a rise in activity from the pro EU mob that remained inactive during the referendum. I've suspected for a while that the referendum wasn't truly representative of the public's will. It's a fact that the 48% Remain did not want a hard brexit, it's reasonable to assume that some of the 52% Leave also did not want a hard brexit and I suspect that a majority of those that did not vote also fit that bill. That's why this election was so fecking risky. The polls led us all into a false sense of security. When it was announced, how many of us really thought it was a bad move? It's all very well us all saying the Tories are weak c**ts over all this terror business but not supporting them in that election in swing seats was a gift to Labour. As weak as May may have been, we had a clear choice of a Tory brexit or a Labour brexit, no other options in a two party system I'm afraid. Not voting for the lesser evil, is indirectly a vote for the greater. Oh well, it's Friday and I'm off to the land of the free in a week! Better buy my dollars now!

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Being optimistic, I don't think it went too bad ....... The Scottish sent a message to the SNP. Having the DUP in government will hopefully give closer ties with Ireland. This could all help to pull the whole UK closer together at a time when it's most needed And, I've realised that I seem to have a thing for Leanne Wood Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onion jonny 526 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 make no mistake about this result the youth are becoming more politically aware and the older voters are becoming fed up with yrs of shit governments, the younger voters are much more eu minded and the future will be much more left wing wether we get a hard or soft brexit.

Born Hunter 17,746 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 The constituency map makes for interesting viewing. Look at them for the last 3 elections and look at the one for the EU referendum. You'd have thought this election would have been dominated by Brexit and that it would resemble the map for last year's referendum. Other than the Scottish shifting from historical Lib/Lab to SNP this election looks broadly the same as all the previous elections. It looks like everyone just reverted back to their party and didn't consider the referendum at all! The 2017 GE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2017#/media/File:2017UKElectionMap.svg The 2016 ref': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum,_2016#/media/File:United_Kingdom_EU_referendum_2016_area_results.svg LOL, best we don't have a say in the future. We haven't the bottle to see it through apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
