Current Affairs The General Election

[Bluerover]

Honestly some idiots in this country voting purely on Brexit. Utterly embarrassing. Country is a joke.

Seems to indicate that a 2nd referendum would yield another leave vote...in England at least.

Remains to be seen if the UK is the same in 10 years.

Where are all the remain voters, 48% of them out there, the exit poll suggests a lot of Tory remainers have still voted Tory to save some cash.

Why is Liverpool very pro Labour out of curiosity?

Google “managed decline thatcher Liverpool.”

There is more than Brexit though. Sad some people are bothered about that rather than things more important like the NHS and Education etc. Embarrassing.

100%.

But unless you have strong leaders in either party pushing home certain messages, 3 years of one thing ie Brexit is always gonna be fresh in peoples minds over everything else.

How long ago was that, may I ask?

(There’s no point to this I just genuinely don’t know the history).

80’s when I was a kid, the Toxteth riots and the city was left to burn. Then you had Hillsborough to top it off

While you’re correct, the exit poll for Brexit wasn’t showing such a majority as this. It would need a huge (fanciful) swing for this to change.

There was no exit poll for Brexit.

The problem is, the country is so damaged now. It’s no longer just red vs blue. It’s leave vs remain, young vs old, rich vs poor. There’s no going back.

Cameron and Osborne's legacy. They spent their whole time in power pitting one sub-section of society against another.

100% spot on.

Any slim hope of a 2nd referendum was well and truly killed off today.

Mate they won't listen to me, I've told my Dad he's been brainwashed by the media.

Thatcher, Hillsborough, the Dockers Strikes, demise of industry in the city and a general feeling of being closer to New York than those in London.

 

[Nymzee]

I dunno, just we’ve had Tories in for like 10 years now and we still have the NHS which everyone on Facebook keeps telling me will apparently disappear.

 

[PITA]

Are you as stupid as you make out? I don't think that you are so why do you play the fool?

 

[evilwebby]

SNP though. 55 seats predicted. That is amazing.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

100% spot on.

Brexit and Corbyn, it's mainly brexit though.

Hopefully we get a proper labour party back with sensible leadership and sensible policies.

Next election very winnable with the right decisions. I doubt Boris will be popular in 4/5 years time.
