National News Official 2019 General Election Thread

[Foley]

Their huge mistake.
He was very popular with his party members. But clearly not the Country.

Not good for the Country in my view.
I reckon I am one of millions who would like to have voted labour but no way with Corbyn.

God bless the silent majority.

dear god what have you done?

I would say what have the Labour members and arrogant supporters done. They should have walked this election.
But total arrogance and ignoring the voters .

 

[Gary Baldi]

If the exit poll is accurate our country is fucked.

dear god what have you done?

Rejected an awful far left candidate and his equally awful mates, some of whom are anti-Semitic.

A more moderate Labour leader who wasn't a cranky old cuss would have won this or made it a lot closer.

Agree. They've spent the past 2 years screaming abuse at anyone who disagrees with them without ever listening to why. Frankly, sod them and sod their views

McDonnell looks crestfallen

Not really gods fault, he lives in a safe Labour seat in east Oxford

 

[Sir Winston]

Barry Gardiner on Sky News.... Priceless ?

 

[holdsteady]

f**k me, at least wait until you actually lose before trying to thwart a democratic election result ?

You can probably start now mate

 

[unification]

It’s that awful feeling when you’ve got a terrible manager. Part of you kind of wants your team to lose so you can sack the deadbeat manager. Another part wants the three points.

Same happened this evening. Corbyn will go but we’re going to be stuck with the liar, the hard Brexit and five more years of Conservative policies. Great ...

 

[holdsteady]

Time to kill the Labour Party off and start a new party which is genuine opposition to the conservatives and doesn’t turn off normal people?

 

[Gary Baldi]

John McDonnell is still trying desperately claim some sort of win.

 

[Gary Baldi]

And those kiddies who think they won coz social media hits - this result is why it's more than just how many videos are watched or tweets favourited. There is more to life and winning elections than social media echo chambers

f**k off winston you c**t.

 

[Oxford57]

The turnout figures will be interesting

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Given that the Tories will never get rid of the unfair and completely illogical first past the post system, why can’t we scrap Labour, Lib Dems and Greens and create a new, centre-left, liberal party based around equality and green issues? First past the post only works for a two-party system, so let’s move to an American-type left or right system. It’s the only way to not have a nasty, small-minded, rich-people only right-wing government in like we’re going to have for the next five years. Us progressive/liberal types could wipe the floor with them if we all banded together...

 

[LowerSouth]

Poll suggests a bigger swing from Labour to the Conservatives than in 1979, when the infamous Margaret Thatcher took power !

 

[bashamwonderland]

Sterling has risen harder than my erection on seeing the exit poll

 

[Foley]

I agree. There's room in British politics for a moderate left-leaning party. Labour under Corbyn isn't it.

Agree
But maybe Labour with somebody like David Milliband?
The trouble is Corbyn has made that really difficult.

 

[Northstandboy]

God bless the silent majority.

Again ?
