So have the conservatives.
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Unlikely and I wouldn't blame them. They are sick of this government.
BES had it at 60% of registered 18-24s, 48% of population for the EUref, and you have to feel that their turnout this time was a fair bit higher.
Greg Knight for PM. I'm assuming he won?
I forgot about this
, feck off Rupert.They'll approve it if the UK makes large enough concessions to each country for them to make it worth it.
Juncker and the EU will be missing themselves laughing at this
Is this thee end of the new Maggie Thatcher?
You Corbyn in or out now?
I'm still not confident he's secure, there may be moves to challenge thinking a Labour sans-Corbyn may do even better. Hard to say
They will soon learn that she can be quite a bloody difficult woman...........to herself
Definitely thinking at this point that @Untied is in fact a time traveller. His 69.1% is closest and he wins this very special gif:
If they challenge him after winning 40% of the popular vote, and given how much of the labour membership loves him much the PLP needs to just quit politics. Out of touch would be an understatement.You Corbyn in or out now?

Where do these last four seats lie?
Mainly Cornwall, which has all gone blue so far.
I don't think they'd get the PLP numbers anyway. Campbell was reluctant to praise the Labour performance though and he's a good guide of what some may be thinking

The result seems to be somewhere between me and @Dobba

Nah he's safe as houses until the next election at least, whenever that may be.You Corbyn in or out now?

I still think they won't win unless they start taking a lot of votes straight from the Tories, but he's certainly won the chance to have another go after the Tories have got themselves into Brexit shite.
Cornwall (3) and Kensington.
Right, i'm off to squeeze in a nap.
Have fun with the Labour love-in, because they'll betray you sooner or later.
They already did with Brexit but anything is better than a right wing government.
So probably everything the Leavers wanted will go out of the window?
May has more support across the nation than Corbyn and, although she hasnt been elected i.e. in an overall majority, she has more right to be PM currently.
I'd certainly be more likely to vote Labour if it wasn't him so that's one right there.You Corbyn in or out now?

The polling companies have escaped any scrutiny so far in the media, but what a shocker the majority of them had.
Qriously, Survation and Yougov model had a blinder.

I'm not sure i understand the mechanism to stop May just carrying on until the tories decide they might win another election??
What a fecking mess this Tory government have presided over. Called the EU referendum and left us in limbo. Opportunistically called an election in the middle of the cycle and hung parliament.
No majority government, no direction on EU/Brexit, no strong, no stable, no fecking clue.

I'm sure many of those supporters will want her gone though, she's substantially weakened their party after all
Remember to double it for the "majority", even if it's minus. Depends whether we're classing Bercow as Tory or not. Might be Eire Red United.
SF wont take their seats.
So it's 650-7=643.
So only 322 needed.
Tories are only 3 short if they get to the projected 319.

Whilst that may be true that doesn't mean there isn't significant waste or sub-optimal outcomes at degree level.
I'm 100% certain that the economy and society could be far better served with an higher education system that actively enables and encourages students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds into the most meaningful and important vocations at a given time.
Qriously were 5 out, just as bad as most others.
It was badly misjudged all round. Cameron didn't think the country would vote to leave, which shocked most people. Then May thought everybody loves the Tories. Not students it seems.
She's going to have so many knives in her back

Although I got a little bit over excited about EVEL potentially throwing a spanner in the works. Even England and Wales have a Conservative majority.
I'm yet to see any data that suggests any form is education is wasteful. I've seen plenty that it has a great ROI though. Investment on areas that are chronically underserved obviously has a better ROI, but I think it's more a case of better ROI, rather than same education having waste.
I thought it as well at first, was still thinking in overall majority termsShe's going to have so many knives in her back

I've been up a day!Just imagining the first time back in the Commons, what a reversal it's going to be. Corbyn triumphant regardless of loss, May (assuming she's still there but I doubt she can survive really) humiliated.
Are the BBC now predicting Kensington going to the Tories? Their forecast just went up to 319
You're right. They were close to nailing the Labour share but were well off on the Tories share.
She's told her aids that she is going to stay supposedly.I thought it as well at first, was still thinking in overall majority terms

Different leavers wanted different things out of leaving, but it's long been clear that a lot of them will be disappointed whichever way it goes.
Despite it being possible I really don't see an extension happening. Given the current state of affairs it would probably take half a year to negotiate an extension and I can't see Tories convincing 27 countries even if they tried hard, and that itself doesn't seem likely.
