It basically says that the EU much prefers a stonking Boris majority to the drawn out dithering by Corbyn. They would also be worried that Corbyn was unreliable in future security matters.
Chris Grayling has spent the morning studying the techniques around tactical voting, before placing his vote for the Labour Party.
Grayling, who is standing once again in the Epsom and Ewell constituency, had been monitoring conversations online about the power of tactical voting, and decided he should probably give it a go.
He told reporters, “I’d always fancied myself as a master tactician. Sort of like Jose Mourinho crossed with Tsun Zu.
“So obviously I took to this whole tactical voting thing with the competence and flair one has become accustomed to from the Grayling name.”
Grayling went on to explain the amount of reading he had done, insisting that he had learned his lesson about making bad decisions with poor information.
He went on, “It turns out, the best way to get the sort of parliament that will do the sort of things that I agree with, is to vote for Labour. Yes, I was a little sceptical, but it was all on the Internet, so it must be true. So I did my duty, as any fan of democracy would do.
“On my way out the exit polling guy asked me if I’d mind telling him who I’d voted for, and laughed a lot when I told him, but I explained that voting is no laughing matter and that our democracy is sacrosanct. Then he got serious and pleaded with me to let him quote me on the record.
“Of course he can, the more people we can get this message to, the better!”

Tory insiders are telling me Boris Johnson could “genuinely be in trouble in [HASHTAG]#UxbridgeAndSouthRuislip[/HASHTAG]”. Exit pollsters think the Lib Dem vote has collapsed there probably due to tactical voting for Labour.
There is a World tonight in which we get an extraordinary political realignment - London turning red, swathes of the Red Wall turning blue - but still end up with a hung Parliament
Everything has changed, nothing has changed.
Hearing London is looking 'very difficult' for the Tories
Told Tory activists from all over capital - including some from marginal Chingford - were pulled into Chipping Barnet & Putney this afternoon
The phrase 'a majority of one is still a majority' is doing the rounds

I was out canvassing on Tuesday night and every single person that answered the door said they're voting Labour to get Boris out/stop Brexit. The organiser said he'd been doing this for years and had never seen anything like it.
Before the gloating little troll infers anything from this post, i'm not expecting a Labour majority. The British public is too gullible and brainwashed. A hung Parliament would suit me just fine though, even though some undemocratic people would demand another election to 'Get Brexit Done'.
I would be amazed if we had anything other than the Tories as the largest party. In the 2017 election I thought that May would increase their majority. What I do think we will see is some surprising results in some places. There are one or two places I really hope to see the Portillo moment.
The ultimate would be for Johnson to lose his seat by one vote seeing as he voted in Westminster rather than Uxbridge.
I think everybody always suspects the Tories will be the largest party especially with the opposition in such a poor state. Open warfare in the Labour Party next week after their 4th loss in a row.
You are happy to talk about what could happen in the Labour Party, but what will happen if the Tories do not get a working majority?
