Off Topic General Election

Yes it can. Liz of the 45 days has gone as well.

 

Rishi will probably make a quick speech this morning, it will be short because he has got an urgent appointment at the American Consulate to submit his application to get his Green Card back.

Good riddance, he can head over to the states and join an AI company in California.

 

It's not really though, he went there for a reason. It's not like he's Clacton born and bred.

 

These results prove just how wrong our current voting system is.

Labour:
Votes: 9,600,000
Seats: 410

Tories:
Votes: 6,700,000
Seats: 119

Reform:
Votes: 4,000,000
Seats: 4

Labour received 2.4x more votes than Reform and get 30x more seats for it.
Lib Dems received 13% less votes than Reform yet gained 18x more seats.

Whether you agree with a given parties manifesto, it's not at all representational, which IMO is why we ultimately see such massive swings.

 

Penny Mordaunt would have been the favourite... but she's gone too... I wonder if Farage might jump ship at some stage and be welcomed into the blue house...

 

And why Labour would never ever vote for a change in PR.

 

Maybe Mordaunt will contest the first by election with a realistic opportunity when things have started to go pear shaped, (probably end of next week) ..

 

The remaining Conservatives will fight like rats in a sack to get the leadership. A few have set their stalls out already.

With the Farage result, there will be a few smiling faces in Moscow and Beijing. Those bot farms have been working overtime the past few months.

 

Sunak has to resign so I'd think former deputy pm Oliver Dowden will step in temporarily but they'll have to cobble together a shadow cabinet?

 

on the subject of cocks, there's no bigger one than Starmer

Keir Starmer says 'vast majority' of women 'don't have a penis'

 

Reform UK getting 14% of the overall votes is a hell of an achievement from them.

 

They've helped Labour get an easy win - did Starmer even have to go in to detail about how he will increase investment in the UK and generate a better economy?

As many have written, both are ****, but the Tories have at least proven themselves beyond doubt as ****. A total embarrassment of a government. Amazed that anyone voted for them.

 

He clearly, as with the majority of ppl, has his own ideas on this, which probably align with yours. But there was no point him getting bogged down in a stupid unwinnable argument before an election, so answered in the most bland way possible.

 

Should equate to more than 4 seats, we need PR, mind you their leaders gob is louder than all the LD's put together so you'll be hearing their voice in parliament.

 

The whole system is broke, the entire industry is pathetically childish and immature. My daughter had more grown up arguments on the school playground when she was 6 than what happens in parliament.

It will never change though because people keep voting these ****s back in.

 

the exact same issue was present in 2019, so you'd think it would be in their self interest given that tactical voting has had a massive impact this time round, but fptp will always guarantee labour and Tory party numbers 1 and 2, so they're happy with the status quo.

 

Reform having had wall to wall coverage in all forms of the media getting the same number of seats as the greens should also say a lot, and lead to some changes in representation in the media, but it won't.

 

Indeed, it's crap. Labour's current vote share is the worst in history by a governing party, and 5% less than Corbyn's in 2019.

 

at least Jonathon Ashworth got booted out - biggest plus of the night
