General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Totally agree with that. There's no workable government here, not like when there was a more influential Lib Dem party in 2010. Another election is the only realistic outcome here.
If that does happen I'd fancy Labour to make further gains as Corbyn has proven he can get votes. 2018 Labour/SNP coalition government imo.
It has backfired spectacularly. We now go into brexit negotiations not knowing exactly who is governing the country. Might not actually have a P.M. We might have to go through all this again and another election likely to be called. Mrs. May you have badly misjudged the mood. Silly woman. Can we delay negotiations?
Yaaaaay!
They came from 20 points behind. A huge success in anyone's books even if I would have preferred an outright Labour majority. If they go again in the autumn all those voters who didn't vote Labour because they thought that they had no chance of victory will switch and we will have a Labour government back again.
Brexit not getting canned is the biggest concern.
Not sure that whatever happens re Brexit can be any worse that the utter arse the Tories are already making of it.
The one good thing to come out of this mess.
And we wonder why the election went so wrong for them?
The talk of EVEL - are we sure the Tories don't actually have a majority of English MPs?
Well done Jeremy Corbyn!!!
Brilliant!
I'm pretty sure they do.
Him and David Cameron must be laughing their socks off.
Told ya, just saying.
Becasue labour have been in an absolute mess. They still aren't where they should be, and they've still been comfortably defeated.
Is that was ever really in danger of happening then we would've substantial backing for the Lib Dems.
Theoretically possible, but need all 27 EU countries to agree to it. The EU in general wants to get going though.
Triggering article 50 and then calling for a election right before the start of the juicy bits must be seen as actively damaging the country surely?
A big one: 294 con vs 224 lab
One thing that was a disgrace was the way they essentially parachuted May into the top job. No final vote from the Tory membership, because of the way they treated Leadsom and forced her to step aside.
Hope the revolters now decide to do their job. Cooper in for Abbot at home sec would be nice
They got a bigger vote share than in 2015 and in 2010.
Don't worry, we'll have another unelected prime minister soon.
He lost...
It was madness. She thought they would stroll the election and have an even bigger majority. Instead she has plunged the country and it's future into utter chaos.
Probably because, being a long term Eurosceptic obsessive, he wants to talk about anything other than the fact this result has failed to deliver a mandate for hard brexit.
That would put paid to that angle then.
The vast majority of their MP's are from England, I'm not sure it was even in serious risk.
Would they approve it though. We were over a barrel before now they could just go in for the kill.
Jesus Christ some of these margins are ridiculous. This could have been a whole lot worse for the Tories.
I think they did for Switzerland.
If one thing comes out of this it might just get youngsters voting. Bet they wish they had bothered when Brexit was the subject. We wouldn't be in this mess now if they had.
Tactical voting could've fecked the Tories up.
They don't hate Switzerland though.
Let May feck up the early discussions and fee then we'll have another vote in a few months
They did.
Could have been 20-30 seats the other way with minor tactical voting.
68.7 % turnout , good but still not acceptable, 31% count not be bothered to get of their arse and vote.
