Remarkably, Scotland might give the Tories a tiny majority.
Was always on the cards unfortunately
Well I've been away catnapping and watching other things, so I've been catching up. But you never know. This is close.Was always on the cards unfortunately
People are allowed to change their minds Imps.
Almost everyone underestimated Jeremy Corbyn - I admit I certainly did.
Indeed, a lot closer than I thought it would be. I'm politically neutral so it's been an interesting evening.
At this time of night, yeah.They might run on a minority basis for 4/5 months, adopt Ruth Davidson as the new leader in the meantime and then call an election in the autumn. They would be very unwise to even think of inviting the support of the DUP to continue with their Brexit negotiations.
Not a chance. Media darling but in a national election she isn't winning the votes. The Union is winning those votes!!
They aren;t changing their minds. They are saving their skins, trying to save face and vying for position.
Myself, I thought Jeremy Corbyn was an honourable protester par excellence. That made him, potentially, an excellent leader of an opposition, but no leader of government. But throughout his opposition leadership, and the election campaign, he has shown himself as an assured front bench politician. He has very pleasantly surprised me.
