Thank the idiots who voted Labour, they'll now know what it's like not to have a strong and stable government. You just handed the EU a blank cheque to screw us over, even remainers are going to suffer because of this result, but then the left love shooting themselves in the foot. They really do hate their own country don't they?

EU always had the upper hand in negotiations . Blame the people for voting for a self defeating Brexit

Theresa May at the helm was anything but strong and stable, as proven repeatedly over the past month.

No, all the past month proved was she wasn't a TV personality. Don't worry you'll reap what you sow, it was better for everyone, remainers and leavers, alike for her to have a majority. But no, you couldn't give it 5 years and handed the vote to as Marxist :rolleyes:

Sorry but maybe supreme leader may shouldn't have called an election then.

What do you expect everyone to do.... Everyone in the whole country to vote for tories because she decided to call one. In that case why not just have a dictatorship and say I'm having more mps without a vote.

Anyway.... Will of the people and all that... Stop complaining

Arthur Hucksake · 9 Jun 2017 at 06:28

I'm a proud idiot.

Wanted May gone any means possible. I absolutely loathe everything she wants to do. Snoopers charter, human rights act, internet nonsense, ruining wheat fields.

Well done UK, you managed to screw this up well and truly. The result is about the worst possible one, regardless of who you support.

I disagree. Mays positioning was weak, many of her aids are massively out of touch with many issues. The Tories need a shake up and hopefully this will achieve it.

Stev · 9 Jun 2017 at 06:28

I blame the manifesto's/party leaders it took me ages to decide which was better a turd sandwich or a massive douche bag.

UTmaniac · 9 Jun 2017 at 06:28

Anyone fancy doing this all again in August?

Later you can thank us, when things like May's "Great firewall of UK-istan" doesn't become reality.

I can't blame people for voting Labour to be honest. Corbyn articulated a vision, despite me disagreeing with it, The Tories served up a dusty 17th century novel masquerading as a manifesto fronted by a Vampire with no pulse. Its like serving up dog poo on a plate and asking people to eat it enthusiastically.

Sorry, but you are challenging the value of democracy just because people choose to vote freely, as is their right?

The reality is many correctly saw through May.

Were a decent credible leader in place then we would have had a different outcome.

Hardly the electorates fault if neither main party can deliver a majority. This really just highlights the need for proper electoral reform I'd. Ecsll in favour of a more representative voting system especially if it lead most often to coalition politics as for me decision by consensus and agreement is much more demsible.

How would electoral reform help? The parliament would still be hung, and that's the problem.

And you can blame the electorate, they are the ones who deliver the results, not the parties. The problem is voters are dumb and don't think through the consequences of what they do, or whether what they are allegedly voting for is actually deliverable.

Regardless of whether you support labour, the conservatives, or another party, this outcome is bad for the UK and dramatically increases the chances of a bad Brexit deal.
