Current Affairs The General Election

[Dom1878]

Hung parliament chances now 2/1.

Have those odds increased or decreased?

 

[Dom1878]

Probably the best result, although what this will mean for Brexit is surely anyone's guess?

Depends on who Lib Dems side with...given the hostile nature against the Tories - you'd hope that they side with Labour (albeit it'll be a different labour leader surely)

Hung parliament should have a stipulation for all the leaders to be hung publicly. Shower of crap.

Like a fish caught in a net.

The Tories have taken 27bn a year out of the public purse in Corp Tax cuts and given that money to the companies, who have that much untaxed profit floating about that they can give out millions in bonuses to the top brass, how many times has there been outrage in the media at these bonuses over the last 9 years, it's a new phenomenon, created by Tory Corp Tax cutting.

Labour had our Corp Tax at 28%, Germany is 29%, France is 34%, and the economy was thriving under Labour, then the Global financial crisis came.

27bn a year, we all paid for that through Austerity, the Corp Tax cuts was Austerity, why won't the general public wake up to the Tories?

Let battle commence.

Bookies odds on a Conservative majority have shortened heavily overnight.

Not sure of the terminology here, Yid.

Yesterday the Tory majority was 2/5 with Billy Hill.

This morning it is 1/2.

That means the odds on a Tory majority have lengthened.

 

[evilwebby]

Have those odds increased or decreased?

shortened.
it's been as high as 4/1 and was generally between 5/2 - 3/1 through the last 2 weeks of the campaign.

 

[Khalekan]

Probably the best result, although what this will mean for Brexit is surely anyone's guess?

I would say THE END.

Certainly of the Kamikaze version of Brexit a Tory majority will almost certainly bring.

No Tory majority = Fresh Referendum between BRINO (as Farage likes to call it) and Remain.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

How anyone can rationally claim either Boris or Corbyn will make a good PM is completely baffling to me.

Horrendous choices and both unfit for office.

I think the smear campaign against Corbyn since he became leader has been one of the best I've ever seen by the Tories and supporting media like Murdoch's empire.

Corbyn genuinely wants to make things better in the country for the vast majority, that's what the policies in his party are about, you can't say that about Johnson, you only have to look at his Dad calling the country illiterate the other week to see how he's been brought up to think about the common man.

 

[evilwebby]

Con maj prob has dropped from 71% to 64% in the last 2 hrs.. that's quite a big move in this sort of market, absent any new information.

 

[Connor]

That horrible derby day stomach is well and truly here.

Into these, reds.

 

[abelard]

BRINO (as Farage likes to call it)

Always a bit disappointed that Brexitino didn't catch on instead.

If nothing else, it sounds like our next great transferbation fantasy from River Plate

 

[The binman chronicles]

Let's get Boris done...over and run out of the UK for being a complete charlatan of a man.

Never wanted a hung parliament before so this is going to be interesting.

 

[Khalekan]

Gary Neville.....this lid has went up in my estimation recently.

 

[Dom1878]

Quite happily put a Liverpool shirt on and cheer for the Kopites winning the league - if it meant we had Corbyn as PM.

 

[Khalekan]

I wish we had gone for this bloke when Harry was retiring.
