Finnaldo Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Contemptuous to the electorate and indignant in defeat. It just gets worse and worse for the Tories. I understand the borderline pity Tories had for Labour up until the election.

Who'd of thought a month ago when Mrs May was a political Goddess and Corbyn was the devil that there would be calls for May's resignation and a celebration as Corbyn as a leader. A day in politics eh? MAYbe people got sick and tired of the Tories and media attacks on Corbyn and actually realised when they heard him he wasn't what they made him out to be. MAYbe it was Tories truly terrible manifesto. MAYbe it was Mrs May's obsession with party 1st Country 2nd. And when you consider how many scot's voted Tory to stop a 2nd scottish referendum it makes the result even more amazing. I think politics over the last year has shown that politicians need to provide a vision and not to offer more of the same, especially when people don't feel like the status quo offers them hope. Brexit referendum - choice between stay (more of the same) or leave Trump/Clinton - choice between Clinton (more of the same) or Trump Yesterday - choice between May (more of the same) or Labour Edit: The French election was the same in that the two candidates Macron and Le Pen both were standing on a platform of change.

She should not resign NOR should Corbyn call for her to resign though. We will end up being ****ed over for 12 months while Labour try to give the EU a blank Cheque, SNP ask for a second referendum, Lib Dems block ALL brexit talks, Sin Fein drinks Guinness, Green party Plant trees and the UK becomes unstable.

This is like when I was a kid and I heard the ice cream van go past. I'd go and ask mum for a quid and she'd say no. Instead of accepting defeat I'd just chance my arm and ask dad too.

Let them **** it up which they will, all the young ***** will soon change their mind when the country runs out of money and their iPhones and Face**** stop working. Perhaps they should have read a bit of history and spent a bit of time looking into Corbyns socialist utopia of Venezuela instead of reading facebook. As soon as the economy tanks it in a few years make a come back. They deserve everything they get. u mad bro

BlueSi13 Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 A catastrophic campaign leads to a catastrophic result. Shock. This will be a lesson to all political parties for decades to come. You have to give the electorate strong, positive and uplifting reasons to step out of their houses and vote for you. Theresa May's campaign did nothing of the sort. She banked on this election being all about Brexit but failed to realise that the electorate have largely consigned that to being last years fight (as the Lib Dems have found out). Labour did an excellent job of pulling the conversation back on to domestic issues to which the Conservatives (deep in preparation for Brexit negotiations) were desperately unprepared to fight. But despite all this, despite Labour having an incredibly strong campaign and the Conservatives having the worst in modern memory. Theresa May has still beaten Jeremy Corbyn by FIFETY SEVEN seats. What to make of that is anyones guess. Conspiracy theories argued that TM called this election to secure an overwhelming majority to reduce the influence of the hard Brexiters in her party so she can present a softer Brexit to the HoC. If that is to be believed has she actually achieved that by losing her majority and needing the support of the DUP who are likely to demand a softer Brexit in return? A private victory in the face of public 'defeat'?
Tuna Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Paul Nuttell resigns after Boston & Skegness humiliation. Oh and also UKIP's general demolition.

lifted*fox Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 May happy to say that 52/48 Brexit is 'will of the people', yet can't accept no majority vote and willing to get into bed with DUP to achieve majority, no matter what the cost, failing to see the irony that it's against the 'will of the people'. Mmm hmm.

Foxxed Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 A government majority dependent on Northern Ireland - with the possibility of a flare up in the old troubles. Northern Ireland is for the first time two party: Sinn Fein and the DUP. Sinn Fein refuse the legitimacy of the UK government's claim over Northern Ireland and refuse to sit in Westminster - and their popularity has increased. The DUP are vocally pro union and are very close to the Conservatives in most things - and their popularity has increased. Sinn Fein want a "special place" for NI in Europe, thereby giving NI borderless entry for people and goods into Ireland: the basis of the current status quo and arguably peace. The DUP don't want this. But could a hard border with Ireland may flare up The Troubles again? It's unlikely one half of NI would accept a border anymore. On top of all this David Davis has said this election may mean a vote against leaving the Single Market. If we stay in the Single Market then there'll be no border in NI. It'd be a soft Brexit. Do the DUP want this? Do the Tories?

The 70s were a complete mess for both parties was my understanding. The tories up to 74 were in chaos and labour were unable to right the ship. Labour historically have carried the can for the state of things when thatcher came to power but it seems it was more a steady stream of p1ss from both parties for the preceeding decade.

I'm not even convinced it's Teresa May, I think it's people fed up in general with everything. a lot of areas that voted to leave the EU voted for Labour or Lib dem, both of which are either pro remain, or soft brexit (which isn't a leave at all) which makes no sense at all

Quickly Googles in other tab. They don't want Sinn Feinn's special place deal. But perhaps they do want to remain in the Single Market? Could the DUP deliver us back into the Single Market? I'm assuming Labour would support this. May's doing the negotiations though. But the DUP could threaten the Tories with a razor thin vote of no confidence.
