Poll: Exit Poll: UK General Election 2017 - Results discussion and OcUK Exit Poll - Closing 8th July

[PapaLazaru]

you do know that the best Brexit deal for NI is single market access which is incompatible with May's brexit dream right ?

She wanted to remain. Maybe she is secretly happy as she may now have to deliver a softer Brexit.

Let's all be honest here, all this has shown is that most do not want a hard Brexit.

Diane Abbot gets 75% of the vote!!!!!!

WTF?!? After all the stupid and racist things she's come out with the people of Hackney are more then happy to have her represent them?

You're kidding right?

 

[platypus]

I imagine all the people outraged by Corbyn's alleged terrorist links will be equally outraged that May is inviting people with alleged terrorist links, into government ?

Everyone but lolscorza it would seem.

 

[ajf]

So, as of now, is it all done and dusted and we have a Conervative goverment with DUP support, or are things still in the balance?

Also, Corbyn says he wants to try a minority goverment. Isn't this just as unworkable as he would never have the guaranteed numbers?
Or does he mean with a coalition of other parties to get the majority count?

 

[Tunney]

they don't have an overall majority but they do have a majority vote so remainers can no longer claim that May doesn't have a mandate for Brexit so they can shut about having a vote on the terms of Brexit and it's put Sturgeon in her place over Scottish independence.

David Davis, the person leading Brexit negotiations, admitted on TV that there's no longer a mandate for a hard Brexit.

 

[Tone1979]

I can only feel some solace in the fact that she must be stressed to **** right now. What she deserves at the VERY least.

 

[wildman]

I think she might U turn on that though. But fundamentally if they can get DUP support in return for some reasonable concessions, the country might actually have a chance rather than descend into a constant cycle of elections.

if she U turns on that she is gone. The hard right in her party will literally string her up and now that she has managed to blow a 20 point lead into a hung parliament she has absolutely no mandate to U turn on anything. This coalition of chaos will limp along for a few months and then get smashed before year end and she'll get fed to the pigs

Paul Nuttall deletes Twitter account bwahahahahahahah

Wouldn't you do the same in his position? I can't see why anyone would be a politician today, constant stream of hatred no matter what you believe in.

 

[RoboCod]

Kind of jokey, kinda not.... Can't we just rock up to the Queen and plea that she just rule in the absence of our incapable leaders? Clearly neither of them are capable of much other than flinging crap (much like monkeys at a zoo). We should just accept the current arrangement is broken and ask mummy bear to step in and sort it all out, again.

While she is a bit of a car crash as a minster(shadow) shes probably quite a good local mp.

like someone said in the last thread, you could put Scorza up for labour in hackney and he'd get voted.

Going might offer her some relief, but then who would you rather be leader? Additionally, is another election this year really what is needed, especially with the Brexit negotiations well underway.

Yes, because as it turns out she's actually a remarkably good politician. If you look at the actual facts of her past, her education and some of the speeches she's given in the house, you'd understand.

However the tory led media alienated her. You can't make a mistake in the lead up to an election without getting destroyed, she made several and everything good she had done for the past 30 years was forgotten/not listened too. However her constituency knows her better than the rest of the country, and clearly voted based on that.

She's a popular and effective local MP, and she's been representing them a long time. She's had a pretty poor campaign but her record in office is pretty good.

She can only try....But it won't work

Her power is lost

its not a full dup coalition, they are idealogical opposed on many of mays manifesto, as is every other party. On top of that there are quite a few Con mps who are also opposed to her manifesto. the chance of being able to pass what she wants is slim to none. Its a last desperate grab for power, its a matter of time till it fails. Unless she does a U-turn on her entire manifesto.

as a remainer I would say David Davis as crazy as that sounds he is at least a safe pair of hands and was always on the leave side without being a weasel like Gove
