more stunts, less policy. kinda worked for Johnson too, so there's a trend.I think the takeaway from this election is obvious. Who outperformed the Exit Poll the most? The Lib Dems.
Therefore, the story is clear. Party leaders should do more stunts on the election trail.
I disagree - Reform's performance + tactical voting, is what has done for the Tories, so it is an important story.That’s a bit of a circular, self-fulfilling argument, though.
I should have had the courage of my convictions and stuck on a few quid instead of believing in a margin of error!Thoughts?
I’d say around 120.
The Johnson majority in 2019 made me some decent cash at the bookies. I’m far less confident of this prediction. Feels like it has a margin of error of 40 ish either way.
So obviously Labour were going to win.
Unfortunately too many people happy to spend the next 5 years of crap and higher taxes.
Awaiting all the Labour voters quoting my post. Don't bother. Not interested.
So only 1 in 3 voted for Labour and put them in power. The majority did not so should be good seeing Labour put through hell.
Hopefully the King will tell him what a twat he is and refuse him to become a Prime Minister
I admire your commitment to remaining "not interested".Used all my tears laughing at you lot actually thinking Labour will improve things.deluded.
narcissist‘s have a very short half life when put under the microscop.Farage is a narcissist more than anything else.
How people can't see through him is beyond me.
Spare a thought for me, my only involvement this time round was going under on every voter turnout bet I could find - all of which have come in and added together equaled my ‘all in’ stake on 59.9% or under at 3/1 with sky bet ….so currently I’m even and it just keeps sitting there at 60% … only 5 left to declareI should have had the courage of my convictions and stuck on a few quid instead of believing in a margin of error!
I believe tactical voting played a huge part in getting the Lib Dems more seatsDo we know how many of our politically seats were down to the tactically voting? We were fortunate not to have to vote tactically. I am a little concerned that we may have too many lib dems that perhaps are only there because they are not Tories. How is this going to effect parliament?
Maybe, but I hope a large percentage of the Reform vote, outside of their core support areas, was an anti-Tory protest, and that those voters wouldn't vote that way if they knew it meant they might elect a Reform MP. Time will tell.Or an argument to stay as we are
Well on the basis that the fewer Conservatives there are the better, it'll drastically improve it.Do we know how many of our politically seats were down to the tactically voting? We were fortunate not to have to vote tactically. I am a little concerned that we may have too many lib dems that perhaps are only there because they are not Tories. How is this going to effect parliament?
The exit poll - yes.Rmemeber when people say the polls are useless. They pretty much nailed it despite all those tight seats. Remarkable.
Yes they got reform wrong but they said they were worried about that.
Definately coming across and laughing at everyone though.I admire your commitment to remaining "not interested".
Same thing happened to the Lib Dems in 2017, they got 7.4% of the national vote and got 12 seats, the SNP got 3% and got 35 seats. In 2019 it was even worse, Lib Dems got 11.5% of the vote and had 11 seats, SNP had 3.9% and got 48 seats.Reform got a higher percentage of the national vote than the LD. One party has 4 seats, the other has 71. That tells you all you need to know about this archaic and un-democratic voting system. Two parties have been allowed to control our politics for years, carving up the seats between them. Study the figures and see how relatively little the Labour vote has changed and yet it creates a landslide.
It doesn't reflect the true voting patterns. Its a default result.
