Astonished by the labor recovery in two years. From a party that looked like splitting and dying at the election to one that's holding its own. Conservatives wing seats in Scotland...looking like no clear winner either. Impressive showing for Corbyn here.

Originally posted by matt_himself I cannot help but think that the 'hung parliament shocker' is driven by Lynton Crosby to remove complacency from the Tories and highlight the danger of electing the looneys to the public. The figures just don't add up. A poll in the Guardian today says that the Tories lead is reduced to 12%. The Tories have been consistently ahead. Labour aren't making any headway in Scotland. How does this scenario pan out? Will done to Yougov.

This is still Labours 5th worst result since Thatcher resigned. Expected to beat Gordon Brown by 4 seats. JC supporters think this is a huge result.... Dianne Abbot school of maths?

Brexit delayed. New general election in a few weeks/months?

Edited by Mr_Gristle (09 Jun 2017 6.51am) It's good to see the public thinking for themselves. Again. And the Tories being propped up by the Scotch! May has always dreamed of being a PM but will now go down as one of the shortest in recent history. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Originally posted by jeeagles 5th best. Sorry. It was late. Only 2010 and 2015 were worse. 1992? Labour have more than 30 more seats and Tories won a majority. That was also worse. The other 3 elections Labour won so it's hardly surprising this isn't as good. The truth is that this is about as good a result as Labour could have realistically expected. It makes Tories much weaker and much less electable next time. Lots of much closer Tory marginals now which they could very well lose in a possible autumn election.

The Tories have been the ruination of this country over the last few decades what with Thatcherism, aggressive capitalism, attacks on public services and their in-fighting over Europe. A Europe that they signed all the very significant treaties/deals for since the 70's. They have 'led' us to this point. The country is so divided. Just hope a few more wake up to it before the next election in October if there is one. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]
