yes, I want to see Scorza put his money where his mouth is and I am almost sure there are enough people here that would help to front the deposit to see him get smashed by Abbott in Hackney just for the lols

Can some explain why the media and Labour supporters are treating this like a massive victory for the party?

The conservatives lost 13 seats despite their leader not being very popular, despite Brexit, despite being in power during a period of general **** for the country due to global economic issues, despite really unpopular cuts to various services.

Labour has a late surge because young people have drunk the Corbyn kool-aid and their favourite celebs spouting their couch politics have decided he is suddenly cool. Under the circumstances I would say that labour have managed to lose an election that at any other time in history they would have been expected to easily win.

:confused:

She called the election with a 20pt lead in the polls and JC being about as popular as a fart in a lift....May has gone from having a Govt majority to not even having that, when her aim was to consolidate power with a much larger majority and Corbyn has increased his seats

Because a matter of weeks ago, this election was going to be the final nail in the Labour coffin. They were supposedly done for, Corbyn apparently the man who was going to steer the ship so badly they risked a Lib Dem 2015 style crushing.

Instead they've gained seats and the Conservatives have frittered away the majority government they had.

They couldn't have hoped for much more in this election, a straight up majority win was never on the cards given the 2015 position.
 
Disappointing that the Lib Dems won't entertain a coalition... don't like seeing the DUP get involved in propping up May at all :(
 
May did this backwards, she should have called the GE first then triggered A50. She has put the entire country on the ropes now and is wasting the UK's 2 years to get a deal. Tusk et. al. are going to really put the hammer down with no mercy on May now.
 
Just wondering.. how many Labour votes can the Tories rely on for Brexit? E.g. the Kate Hoeys and Frank Fields of this world

I'd be a much better MP for the people of Hackney than she is.

You wouldn't have many to represent, you'd have most of them interned on some remote island, easy job! ;)

Just thought I'd poke my head round the door and see if the hysteria has abated yet, but obviously the kids are still over excited and need an early bed time tonight ;)
