Election night 2019 / aftermath

[Alex S]

I’m going to hang in there for a bit just to be sure all these northerners have truly gone mad.

 

[Stunsworth]

And where's UKIP?

Forming the next government by the look of things.

20 seat increase for SNP = huge mandate for scottish independence. English Tory voters have just ended the union. Absolutely gutted that the UK has voted to self destruct.

 

[Dik Dolan]

We haven't seen one single result declared yet. I'm not giving up hope yet.

Andrew, my entire family voted SNP and you are talking about died in the wool labour voters here so if people like us voted SNP then independence is a certainty.

 

[tiggers]

The markets certainly like the poll. It appears the adults have spoken. Momentum can go back to school.

Condescending ****!

 

[Lee T]

Hmmm what is more likely to be a breach of the AUP, calling someone a 'bellend' or 'Brexit boy'?

Looks like you are getting the Brexit you voted for going by the exit poll, I don't expect a reply as I'm sure you're off to celebrate.

I should have said yup on reflection as I was saying, oh yes what a bellend, after the positive comments I made about Corbyn. Sarcasm.

I was not calling anyone here, including you, a bellend so your personal remark breaches the AUP.

I will not be celebrating any victory by Boris as I have been traveling the width & breadth of the country for a few weeks in opposition. What a waste of time.

Nobody is a winner here except the stock markets, even the idiots that voted tory are going to lose out.

Scotland will be independent within 2 years and we'll be out of Europe.

 

[Philim]

Exit poll suggests a bigger swing than Blair's first term.

 

[SteveG]

Swinton looks as though she's lost the seat.

That'd be one positive from the night. Positive for the LibDem's too, in the longer term.

 

[Weekender]

Scotland can whistle. The Tories will not give them a vote.

 

[Bob McC]

Sterling's up.

makes a change.
It’s usually his fault.

 

[SteveG]

Apparently Ruth Davidson promised she'd swim naked in Loch Ness if the SNP got 50 seats...

 

[twotone]

Scotland can whistle. The Tories will not give them a vote.

People will be on the streets demanding independence, the poll tax riots will be like a picnic compared to what's coming.

 

[matt j]

Quite brave of John McDonnell to subject himself to a grilling by Andrew Neil, but I don’t buy his suggestion that the result is due to Brexit, or that the Labour Party is centre-left.

You're absolutely dead wrong. Do you think life long Labour voters in constituencies in the north and midlands would even piss on a Tory if he were on fire?

It was absolutely a single issue 'Brexit Election'.

 

[Weekender]

Good.

 

[JonR]

I would like to thank Jo Swinson for enabling the GE.

I hope she loses her seat.

I expect she will.

What is going to happen when the electorate realises Brexit isn't done?

 

[twotone]

Good.

Scotland is offski, live with it.

 

[matt j]

What is going to happen when the electorate realises Brexit isn't done?

Nothing because it will be too late then, Boris will have a big enough majority to do whatever the f**k he wants.
