    UK election. You voted for?

    Conservative.
  2. Ex mining town Blyth valley voting for conservatives. It's actually looking even worse than the exit polls. Also the talk was boris losing his seat Jo swinson is actually more likely to lose her seat at this point. Does that bury remain for good?
  3. I'm very much socially conservative but economically left wing . I'm happy for my tax money to support those who need support and to support libraries and NHS. But even as someone who'll never vote labour , the type of parliamentary democracy Britain is requires a strong opposition. Labour party needs a firebrand leader a left wing Trump but a smart left wing Trump.
  4. If they follow up with another socialist then he might aswell continue. I don't think he'll necessarily resign quickly either. Might only leave with another momentum/corbynite politician takes over.
  5. Had a feeling a few weeks ago labour would get sub 200 seats. Essentially we have now have a permanent conservative government for the foreseeable future. Japan had something similar and it took 46 years for a left wing party to win there.

    Another South Korean celeb ends it. I wonder if this is some sort of protest at this point to the way the industry treats them. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-50652388

    Usually a sign they're coming to the end of the fight. Definitely on my 2020 list unless something drastic happens.

    That Portillo Moment

    I have a feeling an election pact might be underway as we speak between Brexit party and conservatives. Maybe conservatives giving up a few seats to them allowing Nigel to be elected etc and Brexit party not standing in some swing seats. Conservatives would probably prefer a coalition with Brexit party over the DUP.

    That Portillo Moment

    In all seriousness though I can't see anything other than a conservative majority but not a super majority. I think the lib dems will take enough votes off labour to cost them seats and give them to the conservatives. Maybe a few of our Scottish posters might have a better insight but I can't call what will happen there. Will it go even more conservative and the Tories will add seats or swing back to labour wiping out SNP and conservative seats or go completely SNP and wipe out the last labour and conservative seats. Scotland doesn't do half measures when voting or drinking. Election 2015 and pop idol 2003 come to mind.McManus certainly wasn't a half measure.

    Interesting Ways To Die...

    If it was an extinction rebellion protest (climbing up chimney, protest against pollution? Does the chimney still work?) he ironically has helped climate change, by removing himself and his carbon footprint from the world. Not the first time they've targeted a chimney. Seems like a strange suicide attempt. https://www.theartnewspaper.com/amp/news/extinction-rebellion-target-tate?__twitter_impression=true
