Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[TheBlueGibbon]

Tight in Hastings for Amber Rudd allegedly.

 

[Donald Twain]

Clueless American...what's this all mean for you lot? Am I wrong in saying it would be like our two legislative bodies being controlled by two separate parties? Nothing gets done at all?

so far the good guys are winning !!

 

[The binman chronicles]

Theresa is doomed

She will better not turn her back when other people are around, else there will be a knife in it in a jiffy.

 

[Seanjd]

Hahaha bye bye Amber Rudd you horrible cretin.

 

[Donald Twain]

That thing Sunderland does to try and be the first declared.

Does my head in that.

Kopites!

 

[Mrk]

George Osborne on ITV trying his best not to laugh...

I don't see what kind of coalition they could form - not one that could push through Brexit anyway.

If that exit poll is accurate, this is perhaps the best possible result the country could have had. The only Brexit they will be able to get through is one on which there is a consensus in Parliament.

 

[rascal]

I was out canvassing with Labour today in my local constituency, the reaction on the streets was quite bad,and I had got myself prepared for at least a decent nights sleep.

FFS.

Wise words from a hero to us all.

Please bring more updates from the ragged trousered philanthropist as the night goes on sap x

 

[Jib in lad]

Corbyn deserves this.

 

[Donald Twain]

@chicoazul where for art thou?

 

[Tubey]

you have to hope the labour prediction of 266 is conservative and maybe they have about 10-15 more than predicted

i think its been a very good campaign for labour

If Labour get 280 here, it'd be the greatest political result in history - no hyperbole. Obliterates Brexit and Trump.

266 is already the stuff of dreams for Labour given the situation.

 

[Mrk]

The Tories need a miracle now. They can try a minority government but with something as big as Brexit and the sheer partisanship of current politics, they'd fold the moment they try something major in parliament.

The Tories need that exit poll to be +25 wrong, at least, and even then it's a terrible result.

Even if they do just about get a majority like 2015, May is still absolutely finished. Her reputation has gone.

 

[AndyC]

No mate, doesn't matter.

This reinvigorates the left (or anti-austerity, anti-Tory) and is basically guaranteed to cause May to resign. Anything less than 70 she was on dodgy ground (mentioned it in here earlier), less than 50 she doesn't make the speech tomorrow, hung parliament the 92 Group will erase her.

It's unbelievable that.

It does re-invigorate Orly, but ultimately, if the Tories get a majority, we'll be stuck with them for a sure-fire five years... and that's unpalatable as it is, never mind with Brexit to deal with.
