General Election 2017

[Jim in the West]

Stuff that agrees with [MENTION=990]Jim in the West[/MENTION] point of view? (kicking May the Tories)

Ha ha - not really. Just the expression on his face. But he does speak quite a bit of sense, despite being a toff.

Recount in Canterbury.

Really??

 

[East Preston Gull]

Is this the most bizarre election ever. Tory share up by 6.8% and Labour by 9.8%.

Ukip finished, SNP falling badly.

Angus Robertson gone.

At times, he spoke as if he ran the Commons opposition. Cocky tw*t.

 

[happypig]

Angus Robertson gone.

In Moray.

EEL be disappointed with that.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Really??

Yep. It's been Tory for 99 years.

Recount in Canterbury.

Is that where some people were turned away from voting due to admin errors?

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Pound falling which used to be a sign according to remainers that a bad democratic choice has been made .. now apparently irrelevant?

Arrogant pri*k Angus Robertson kicked out a silver lining.

Laura Keunnsberg just announced Tory HQ conceded they wouldn't do better that the Exit Poll then within seconds the Exit Poll gets revised and gives the Tories 8 more seats. Theresa May's hopes dependent upon Scots voting Tory.

Yeah, I'm on ITV at the moment.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "stupid" earlier, but it's certainly naive to assume a result that mirrors the exit poll makes for a strong Brexit negotiating position for the UK given the timescales involved and the massively different agendas of the parties involved, and the heavyweights of Osborne and Balls have just said the same.

I think the presumption that a "strong" negotiating position is required may be questionable, because it assumes an adversarial "negative sum game" type negotiation. There may be alternatives which don't start from that position, and out of which both sides can gain through mutual interest, in which case a more conciliatory negotiating position might even be a better one one to begin with.

Robertson gone to Tories. I am absolutely stumped here. The Tories could increase seats but media narrative is Labour victory whatever happens here.

Exit poll currently near enough bang on.

I'm going with the YouGov model.

That is true. My son goes to school with the Labour candidate's son. This would be a big shock....

 

[SK1NT]

The pound already in decline as a labour government looks possible...

Don't be silly.... it's the uncertainty and the fact it is likely to not be a majority government...


Just to add... if it was the other way around i.e. Labour were in government and then in a general election the tories stopped the labour majority you would see a weakened pound. Nothing to do with the parties.

 

[The Rivet]

OK I'm done. Theresa May has definitely buggered up Brexit. In my opinion the UK is now F**ked. The EU will walk all over us and the socialist lefties will open our doors and spend money willy nilly. The referendum, although won democratically is dead. Well done politicians on making us a total laughing stock. Congrats to the remainers on your prolonged campaign. Now you wont get me bleating and trying to overturn the democratic vote it's what the country wants. So be it. I am off to bed.

Not sure on that.

Markets don't like uncertainty

Another Con gain from SNP - South Pershire

 

[Weststander]

'President' Sturgeon will face some difficult internal questions from the SNP Poliburo.
