Maybe this is my addled sleep deprived brain having a laugh, it is well past my bedtime, but maybe, just maybe, if there is a hung parliament with less than 2 years till we leave the EU and negotiations due to start a week Monday, Labour and the Tories will do whats best for the country and work together to sort brexit out.
 
This is what I was hoping for... hung parliment with the snp remaining the biggest party for Scotland.

Still not sure whether Corbyn is wining the English vote or did May simply push the self destruct.

That's what the country needs, but these bickering idiots would never settle.

Think you need to sleep :D.


Rather surprised by what's happening but happy/concerned.

What does the election result say about misogyny.

May Collides Again With Highest Glass Ceiling

What Eleanor Roosevelt Can Teach Us About May’s Defeat

May lost because of her gender, and it hurts like hell

The election was a referendum on gender and women lost.

It's a factor. There are undeniably people who dislike her as PM because they don't like a woman in power.

But I don't allow that it's anywhere close to a significant factor compared to austerity, human rights, Brexit and other actual political matters. I think it is offensive to people who legitimately disagree with her to tar them with implications of misogyny.

Who knows. JC might patch things up with the EU and come up with a mutually beneficial deal that TM playing hardball with a hardline position would never have got.

"A BBC exit poll suggested both Reading East and Reading West could swing from the Conservatives to Labour this morning"

Thank ****. My home town needs it.

Reading Council has been Labour since the 1980's (apart from one blip of no overall control). The Council, which is a unitary authority, has much more bearing on Reading than its MP's.
But it would be nice if the MP's both were Labour, which has never happened since I came here in 1989. The national government and its policies does have a bearing on all Councils. Local government has been faced with several years of significant budgetary cuts.
