Labour have got this totally wrong, their whole strategy has been to pursue a general election. But they will not make any gains if we do get one- people recognise that they have no concrete position on Brexit and this is the only issue that is important right now. I could see the Brexit party and the Lib Dems making huge gains if it went to a GE. Labour need to pick a side and stop sitting on the fence.

They aren't sitting on the fence, they are leavers.

Yes I fear that 6 months from now we will all be yearning for the hazy days of Theresa May.

Boris as PM, no deal Brexit, Farage with a seat at Cabinet and a big Tory majority in Parliament all probably await us.

:( ergh.
 
Feck off May.

Shame the replacement will be even worse. A No Deal obsessed twat.
 
This should be interesting. Will Britain finally end up with a Nazi for PM, 75 years after the war?

Apologies if posted already. But what the actual feck is going on with aging Tory men and ludicrous hair? This is a new thing, right? Why is it happening?!

David Mellor has always had ludicrous hair.

the one with the 2nd worst labour result in 36 years (since foot in 1983...)

In terms of seats Labour had worse results in 1983, 1987, 2010 and 2015. In terms of vote share Labour had worse results in 1983, 1987, 1992, 2005, 2010 and 2015. So in terms of seats it was average, both the fifth worst and the fifth best election for Labour in 36 years. In terms of vote share it was the third best.

I also think Labour is underperforming but come on.
 
Hopefully if some right-wing nut job who wants No Deal becomes PM then some Tory MPs would see sanity and back a no confidence attempt and trigger a GE. Then the Tories campaign on a No Deal manifesto and Labour on their make-believe deal.
 
If a GE is called, could the Brexit Party not do well using this current momentum and by promising to go full throttle on a hard Brexit? If these Tory / Labour voters have flocked to the Brexit Party for European Elections, would they not just vote for them again if they stick to their tune in a GE rather than go back to the parties that they're clearly fed up with and feel betrayed by?

You're probably not far wrong.
The rest of Parliament also regretting not taking the only possible withdrawal agreement
 
One thing to keep in mind is the Tories already have a wafer-thin majority. If someone comes in and insists on No Deal, which most in the Commons already rejected, a couple more resignations completely screws them over.

Can someone explain to an outsider like me how it is even possible that a guy like Boris Johnson is considered a credible candidate for this job?

Good question.
It is perfectly obvious that he has been positioning himself as we have seen virtually nothing of him.
He knows that as soon as he opens his mouth he will shoot himself in both feet so he has kept it tightly shut.
Chancer is all he is.

My old man was a Thatcherite, despite her decimating the north.
 
I cant help feeling that Brexiters being labeled '80 year old idiots from the north' all over the internet, has done nothing but Unite them and made them determined to vote for one party, well done internet warriors.

At the same time remainers cannot agree on a single party to unite them and they will spread their votes across multiple parties, basically wasting their vote.
 
Can't see many 80 year olds from the north surfing the internet, getting outraged by Remainers .

Probably because they are busy writing comments on the mail online section outraging remainers?

certainly internet use amongst the elderly has increased a lot in recent stats

3.Generation gap narrowing in recent internet use

In 2018, almost all adults aged 16 to 34 years (99%) were recent internet users.

Since the survey began in 2011, adults aged 75 years and over have consistently been the lowest users of the internet. In 2011, 20% of adults aged 75 years and over were recent internet users, rising to 44% in 2018. However, recent internet use in the 65 to 74 age group increased from 52% in 2011 to 80% in 2018, closing the gap on younger age groups.
