Current Affairs 2017 General Election

Maybe but an election is a great way to finally get your entire message out to the people. Especially when they're ready to listen to you.

It's the in fighting and handling of the press that he didn't control strong enough, Parliament laughing at him during debates. The majority of people saw he was weak.

He's gone all guns blazing now for this snap election and won people over. But the worry was gonna be would he be this strong if there wasn't and we had to wait 4 years for an actual election.

The markets still think that there is 51-52% chance of a Con majority. It's obviously going to be very close.

An hour ago the markets were saying 350-400 seats was by far and away the most likely tory result. I stuck £20 on 300-349 for the Tories because the odds were clearly long. I'll get £85.

The markets also said Trump was 5/1 to win the presidency, the day before the election.

If Amber Rudd is on her way out, who is Theresa May going to get to announce her resignation?

So presumably you're pretty relaxed about voting for a party which you say has had "one of the worst campaigns in history", just to stick it to a man you disagree with, but who has done an incredible job?

It just seems wrong to me, Tubey.

Sometimes you just can't make things up.

Yeah but it doesn't really matter mate in regards to May. Unless the exit poll is around 50 seats out, May is gone - has to be.

I reckon 25 seats, if she gets it back to what they had she will survive for now. But will be shuffled out before the next election.

Would appear we will all be back in the Autumn for another election night.

The markets were saying she'd have an 85 seat majority yesterday.

May's hubris there has probably cost the Tories three election majorities there on trend.

Amazing.

So for the uneducated like me, a hung parliament means exactly what? No actual change? Teresa May still in charge?

 

[longers]

I'm still bricking it, could be Brexit all over again. Go to bed happy, wake up to a bleak future

@Tubey actually voted Tory? What?

Never. And do we know why? I am shocked if that is true, that such a staunch Labour supporter would vote Tory. Nah.

Unbelievable @Tubey the Tory

It means no one single party can raise pass a motion on its own (if all of its MPs voted the same way and the other parties all voted the other)
