[Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

[jcdenton08]

Libs claiming Chichester…

 

[HangletonGull]

In what way?

Lib Dem’s now down to 50 odd they reckon

 

[BN41Albion]

Knew it this exit poll is wrong

Why!?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Labour. The most unpopular massive landslide winners ever. Which proves that Sunak and Starmer were right, and are massively popular and the real winners.

Starmer is clearly useless.

Bring back Corbyn!

It’s astonishing Harry. Have you seen any spokesperson for the f**k Starmer hard left group on TV?

Where are they all?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

LDs think they will take Chichester off Gillian Keegan

 

[HangletonGull]

In what way?

So now for me labour get more Tory’s less

 

[pocketseagull]

Hang on.... 'people will be wanting a debate about PR' FFS. WTF? Not labour people, you daft bat.

83% of Labour members support PR, just 12% oppose (YouGov).

In their box. Ha ha!

 

[Gabbiano]

A plot

16% swing to LD in knaresborough to libs from C.

Must be a woke conspiracy!

Just needs a live ticker along the bottom, but why isnt it there?

LDs think they're going to win Chichester? Positive for Horsham and other marginals in Sussex if thats their forecast.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Massively popular guy here

So you think the Tory party ‘suppress the vote’ campaign has been successful?

 

[HangletonGull]

Why!?

Tory’s to get less seats

 

[The Wookiee]

The Worthing seats were certs to be Labour for a very long time. What’s the point in canvassing.

The background …. unpopular government coming to an end, Reform splitting the vote, a much younger demographic than the centuries of bath chair voting Tories (housing, EU, etc). You can thank the incredible city of Brighton and Hove … stacks of lefties moved to Adur and Worthing for cheaper housing.

Peter Bottomley won the last election by 15k
Tim Loughton was 7k

Hardly an easy win for Labour and at least something for the Tories to fight for - but no - they gave up in my opinion conceding defeat before it already started- FFS put up a fight for what has always been yours !!
No wonder we’ve lost faith in them and voted elsewhere!

I am a member. I have never heard any of my chums mention the issue. How much are they bovvered? It will never happen under Starmer's watch.

 

[Pevenseagull]

The only Q for me is whether Labour will be able to effect change. How long should we give them? What would success look like?

Success = being re-elected in 5 years time with a reduced majority. Green getting a dozen or so seats. Reform getting none. The Tories realising that being right wing nutters isn't good for people and the Lib Dems giving up on politics and just running slightly awkward family fun days.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Tory’s to get less seats

It's still fewer.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Love a recount!

 

[HangletonGull]

Love a recount!

Drama

Yep. Love all that.

And meanwhile the nation back on (back on) track.

 

[Gabbiano]

After many elections of being their top target, Bristol might finally get a Green MP! Exciting for them.

Shame for Thangam Debbonaire, who in addition to having a fantastic name, always came across as a decent and reliable MP, and has been through all sorts of health problems.

Here's hoping
