Soooo. New election to do?

That would have made it worse, don't forget the brexit polls weren't wrong about public opinion they were wrong about how many remain voters would actually show up, if she had kept it more about Brexit she would have lost even more votes.

I don't think so, I think she turned away some of her core voters with the elderly. On the contrary Labour duped the young with reckless promises that mobilised the young.

 

[jonneymendoza]

probably because young folks are the ones who are going to get the most shafted by the 1984 esque internet plans the conservatives have, and corbyn pledging to kill off uni fee's is a really big one considering the amount of student debt people rack up just to get a damned education.

only 68% as a whole turned up to vote. poor still

[Felon]

Any idea when she's going to come out and give a statement? isn't it normally 10?

 

[Vonhelmet]

Labour basically bought their votes with promises of anything the electorate wants you can have it, lets just have a right good spend up on credit.

Remind me again how good the tories' track record on the economy over the past seven years has been?

You also talk as though all parties don't constantly buy old people votes by protecting pensions, winter fuel allowance, etc.

 

[Bald-Eagle22]

That'll be Boris PM by next week and a hard Brexit then .

I just can't fathom what Labour voters think they have done here , home issues aside we now have sod all credibility with the EU.

 

[mid_gen]

All parties better start handing some juice to the young. they're a democratic force now.

Very good news. Finally we'll start to undo the damage done by the short-termism brought on by pandering to elderly voters.

thats what you get for holding an election in the middle of the exam period

 

[Narj]

She isn't a Westminster MP.

D'oh should do my research before thinking aloud.

 

[bobbyspangles]

Because Corbyn bought their vote with the tuition fees promise. Libs did the same in 2010. You think they would have learnt by now.

Lolz you reckon

 

[gettothechopper]

looks like we are getting May with DUP supporting votes but not in coalition

72% for youth vote, being reported, vs 69% overall. The youth turned up more than the average.

 

[Azza]

Surely the DUP will want a fluid border with the Rep. Ireland as a minimum which will throw a hard brexit into a tailspin?!

 

[antijoke]

Any idea when she's going to come out and give a statement? isn't it normally 10?

Probably still doing surgery on the knife wounds in her back.

 

[Uther]

So, if she forms a government with the DUP, will she still try and carry on with her far right manifesto?

Using the lucrative money tree. Otherwise known as more debt.

It literally was fully costed. And plenty of legit economists backed it up

I have mixed feelings on the result.

The Scottish result was better than I could have hoped for and the SNP got a hammering having lost 21 seats, including Angus Robertson, their deputy leader losing his seat here in Moray just as I predicted. I bet he isn't so smug now!! Now that the true voice of the Scottish people has spoken and not the SNP's fantasy made up version, perhaps they will kill off indyref2 altogether. We don't want it!!

The UK result on the other hand is a disaster. STV has had a election result show all night and this morning they were talking of a Labour/SNP coalition to run the UK. This would be a complete and utter catastrophe. For one thing I don't want that idiot Corbyn in a seat of power and certainly don't want him giving everything away in the Brexit negotiations. He has already stated this morning that he would guarantee the right to stay in this country for anybody who is already here. What about guaranteeing the rights of UK citizens living in Europe in trade for that right? No mention of that. The biggest problem in this suggested coalition though is the SNP. They have already proven that they are anti UK and want nothing less than to rule Scotland, seperate from the rest of the UK. They will only have their own interests to gain their aims and will not act in the best interests of the UK.

What is now going to happen with Brexit? If the Tories form a minority government they won't be able to get anything through. If Labour form a coalition Corbyn will give away everything and we will be no better off than we are now and could even be worse off. Maybe it's time to put it to the people again and have a final referendum on membership? Perhaps the so hard done by yougsters will actually get off their backsides and vote this time!! That's only any good though if Article 50 can even be undone and the EU won't shaft us to undo it even though it will make us look a complete joke.
