At least now, going forward, the proof is in the pudding. The end of gridlock.

Seems like my judgement of a 40-50 majority may have been an under estimation.

Hmm yes I suppose, if anyone is going to know its them.

Apparently the exit poll info is collated by the hour and so the size of the majority, if it pans out as stated, will have been known many hours ago. I guess with betting markets there's so much money coming in for both outcomes that it takes solid proof to really shift the odds.

I will celebrate when the results are in but it looks like Labour will pay for their Brexit betrayal.

Bye bye Jeremy.

Seems to illustrate just how important political personalities are within the election process......May just couldn't inspire any 'floating voters' to vote for her whereas Johnson has that star quality appeal to the normies.

With the irony that Corbyn's instincts on Brexit were the right ones. It was the w***ers like Kier Starmer who pushed them into a second referendum stance that f***ed them up. And the smarmy t*** will probably take over.

But as soon as Labour backed a second referendum they were in the s***. Utter insanity given the constituency break down of Brexit and the Euro elections.

And those second ref w***ers are meant to be the smart ones?

John McDonnell being quite impressively gracious on the BBC there.

Yes, like you said before I did feel bad for Corbyn on this count. He was essentially in an impossible position on Brexit.

It might also have something to do with two far left w***ers heading their campaign and stopping a democratic decision from being realised.

 

Invalid user 2019 Flag 12 Dec 19 10.24pm

the exit poll suggests a 46% Tory vote

He still thinks Labour's swing to the left has nothing to do with it.

Deluded.

That's a good point. I do think Corbyn received fairly horrendous negative press coverage across the board really, but the added aspect of Boris being an eccentric character and larger than life figure, does paint a certain narrative. The problem with May is that due to her awkward nature it made it hard to really be a cheerleader for her.

Brexit was always a bigger problem for Labour than the Tories. And Corbyn perhaps with the biggest dilemma. His voting record on the EU at complete odds with the majority who backed his leadership.

But backing a second referendum was insanity for them. Absolute lunancy.
