Well looks like a tory landslide, I have been labour all my life, but I will not vote for Corbyn or Abbott and Starmer, the party is a cesspit of really left wing nutters, my 6 year old grand daughter has more brains than Abbott

Best try rekindling our interest in moving to Germany.

Don't get your hopes up if its the polls your looking at, look at the Australian election polls.

Looking like a decisive result, if the exit polls are correct. From a business perspective, I suspect that will mean a period of huge investment as my feeling is companies have held off spending until they can see what the political landscape is going to be.

Technically totally true. How many seats the tories won so far? Next meme?

 

[Stephenj]

I'll await the Sajid Javid one.

 

[marshbrewer]

Goodness, Blyth Valley has just gone Conservative . That's a huge shift.

 

[Rodcx500z]

I have no problem with the labour party, its the bloody idiots at the top table which I think most labour voters have a problem with, this wilko stout is a bloody good pint for a kit

That's what happens when it becomes more about an individual than a manifesto. Its like politics has become X factor.

Spot on and I am not surprised Lib Dem did so badly their leader didn't come over well and Lib Dems scrap Brexit policy buried them.

I voted Labour but can understand why people would not vote for them while Corbyn is still the top man, I like JC I think he is a decent bloke but he is now stepping down which is the right thing to do.

It looks like the people were so fed up with Brexit they decided it was time to get Brexit done let's see how many of his promises become reality.

As we now know brexit is going to happen the floor is yours, let's try to keep it civil.

Well, thank god for that, I had a genuine concern I’d be waking up to that lunatic running the country.

I think that the leaders of all of the main parties could be described as lunatics!

 

[LeeH]

On the downside I was looking forward to a 4 day working week, free broadband and lollipops for the whole country...

To whom it may concern: be a graceful winner or a sportive loser.

Remarkable result for the Tories.

Looks like this puts to rest any chance of a second referendum.
The election also re-affirms that the vast majority in Scotland & Northern Ireland wish to remain in the EU.
What this means for the future of the UK is uncertain.

What Boris will do with his mandate will be interesting. Will he be able to compromise more without having to rely on the DUP & the Spartans in the Tories.

Will the Labour membership elect another far left leader and remain in the wilderness?

Scotland will be looking independence and an Irish border poll is round the corner
Brexit will have a major impact in Ireland. Irish politics is on its knees we haven't had an devolved assembly coming up to 3 years now.
Health care workers are on strike for equal pay.
Schools are struggling
Highest unemployment
Highest suicide rates
The list goes on and on

Sinn Fein & DUP were down 7% & 5% respectively.

Stormont been down for the last three years cannot of helped.

A border poll would be some craic in the current atmosphere.
It would make the Brexit debate seem calm and grown-up.
