Current Affairs The General Election

[Tin-Tin]

The first results were expected a good 20 mins ago.

Must be a huge turnout.

Im hoping its something positive

They really think the Tories are going to put investment into the area? They’re a town full of bigoted fools and I hope this cripples the cesspit.

I think Labour proposing yet another referendum after country had already spoken just really miffed a lot of people.

Centrist politics needs to make a comeback but the rubbish I see on places like Twitter appears to make it unlikely.

Twitter makes even the most sensible people turn violently to the left or right. There is no middle ground. Quite scary the stuff in there.

No declarations yet. This is pointing towards an absolutely huge turnout.

 

[dandydan]

Yes, he would. But as already said....


IF YOU'RE A LABOUR PARTY SUPPORTER YOU DONT VOTE TORY EVER.


It's not that hard to understand like is it?

I hope they get battered by the Tories. Really battered. The serfs deserve nothing else.

The real question is how can Labour be so bad that staunch voters switch to the tories? Play the ball not the man or you'll never get them back.

For me, it boils down to people being thick enough to only comprehend three words; Get Brexit Done.

There is no nuanced policy anymore. There are no sensible moderates that people like @Tubey claim that Labour hasn't appealed to. This is what 21st century Britain has become and I am ashamed of it and terrified for its future.

Get out of the bubble and talk to people. That's all I can suggest - I'm not the minority here.

Has anybody got any good news that can be salvaged from this mess?

The youth vote was needed in working class northern towns. It was never there. It only exists in the cities that are usually labour anyway.

Yes definitely.

You kind of hope, we'd have won enough in and around cities, to offset losses in said areas.

In the long term, we really need to think about how we start to turn the tide in those areas.

Turning citizens into customers.

FFS...

Still, GOT is a unique beast - lots have asked for a place to discuss current affairs and this is our 'But Ok...' and we'll review in March. It's your platform and it's down to you to make it work.

Our advice to make this forum work;

• Don't be a tit.

If you are, your account will be denied access to this forum.

The battle between Sturgeon and Johnson is going to get messy. Plus the Issue with Northern and Southern Ireland is going to rumble on

She will run rings around that fool.

 

[ChesterBlue]

I’d rather buy a RS season ticket, AND actually support them, than ever, ever vote Tory. At least football is unlikely to kill hundreds of thousands via poverty

...like lots of others on here I voted Labour, but I‘ve been critical of this Labour Party for a very long time. Sadly, the bullying and harassment of those Labour MPs who don’t worship Corbyn is evident in this thread tonight.

Labour needs to change.

 

[Nymzee]

Brexit, it's happening all over in Labour heartlands tonight.

Yeh, correct, simple answer. Surely Labour must have been acutely aware of its impact and tried best to wrangle people back regarding it.

 

[Tubey]

Youre a child [Poor language removed] nonce and I hope you're stabbed in an alley you actual filth.

Bye.
