Politics General Election 2017

Gove got environment, that's fucked then.

Lol, I'm sure he just rolls a fucking dice and goes "Ok, i'll take that post this time!"

 

[BloodOmen]

Speculation that Theresa May might actually surive this.. makes me fucking sick to the stomach after the shit storm shes kicked up, she does not deserve the chance.

 

[Raven]

The longer it goes on the worse it will be and the more shitheads she takes down with her. Lots of Tories will spend the next year very quiet indeed.

 

[Job]

Can't we just swap her for Ruth Davidson.
That would be very popular indeed

 

[BloodOmen]

Despite me not being a Conservative supporter even I would rather see Ruth Davison at the helm than shitface May.

Wahahahahah, wheels are all coming off now.

Theresa May could delay Queen's Speech after humiliating election result - This tells me the DUP aren't budging on a deal

EU 'to delay Brexit talks by a year' because of Theresa May

 

[Scouse]

She ain't going to quit - and the Tories won't oust her yet.

Fine by me, this is just blowing up in hers and the conservatives face in slow motion, it'll take them a long time to scrape their reputation back over this absolute clown fiesta.

Orange Order asks DUP to use banned sectarian march in negotiations with Theresa May

Also! this is now officially starting to interfere with the NI peace process, lot of supporters are getting riled up demanding things.

 

[Scouse]

Like 5 years?

 

[BloodOmen]

Like 5 years?

5 years? be longer than that, she's done an incredible amount of damage to the party over the last 7 weeks. Their reputation was already in a shit place anyway.

Theresa May says 'absolutely nothing' in Plymouth Herald interview

Has anyone done the Turing test on her? I doubt she pass.

Has the fact that Labour turned around one of the worst positions ever in the past 7 weeks taught you nothing?

The public has a short memory.

The difference is, Labour has an incredible leader right now and a good team to boot... The Conservatives have a group of back stabbing bastards who are just out to better themselves - the current Conservative party can never achieve what Labour has in the last 7 weeks.

 

[Ormorof]

Well they have a leader who at the moment does not habe tocworry about knives at his back

The first misstep and the sharks will smell blood and start circling again

Sorry..... incredible leader? I nearly wet my pants laughing at that...If labour had an incredible leader and the maths worked they would be the majority..... they are not... The conservatives were punished by the blue rinse middle England brigade for their retarded campaign... It was May that lost this election for the conservatives.

I know that some of the lefty posters in the forums are clear that for the U.K. to keep the NHS the money needs to come from somewhere.. most likely taxation... taxation at EVERY level... in more social countries i.e. Sweden you can only earn c.1300 Gbp before the first tax level. Areas where low income workers live actually pay a slightly higher level of kommun tax as there is less money coming in from the higher earnings bracket... e.g. I live in Stockholm and pay 30% kommun tax... someone living in a more rural or low income area will pay 32% on every krona over 13100...

The average British voter who had been working for a while will not subscribe to this ... it was only once I left the U.K. and started working in Europe I began to see the benefit of higher taxation

How is this different from the usual Tories?

You do know Labour still actually lost the election?

What's that? Coming 2nd by over 50 seats? I know Corbyn is an Arsenal fan and all that, but there's no need to treat us to the full Wenger.

One thing that seems to be have kept reaosnably quiet, is that despite the worse parlimentary campaign in living memory, and Teresa's laser like focus on blowing er own toes off, the Tories still massively increased the number of people voting for them - given they probably weren;t voting for May, I would suggest that points to massive anti-Corbyn vote in the UK. I will be very shocked if he ever makes it anywhere near power.

Coming from where they did after Gordon Brown and Miliband screwed Labour, surving a party turning against him and repeated calls for him to step down, coming out over the top of the majority of tabloids smearing him on a daily basis, brain washing the electorate against him - I'd say what he did was a fucking fine job, no Tory leader in recent memory could do with The Conservatives what he has done with Labour. Now that he's killed new Labour and united Labour, it's just going to keep gaining momentum - as Jonathan Pie said (which is funny because its pure satire) "Jeremy Corbyn lost while simutaneously winning that election and Theresa May won it while losing it at the same time."

And let's not forget it was estimated she was going to win with a ->70<- seat majority... that worked out well I must say, not only did they fail to hit that, they didn't even manage to keep a majority despite being so far ahead.

 

[Scouse]

I agree with the rest of your analysis - but this is twaddle - especially considering the *massive* leap Labour made.

There's less than 800,000 total votes between the two:

with labour making by far the biggest gains.

It was the SNP that won it for the Tories. So you better thank your favourite Scottish Nationalist for keeping your beloved in power.

 

[BloodOmen]

Rupert Murdoch that told May to take Gove back apparently.... and it may come back to bite him.

"It cannot be a coincidence that Gove's appointment is on the eve of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission scrutiny of Murdoch's 100% ownership of Sky. If Murdoch gets the all clear for this, then this proves without any doubt that the Tories are corrupt. It is totally perverse that a non-Brit, and an odious one at that, should have more power and influence in Britain than its own government. We have Murdoch to thank for the total mess we are in now, along with the gullible people who believed his negative propaganda about the EU."

So he did a "fantastic" job. And still lost. Must be some "everyone's a winner" bullshit going on, as crowing about "only" being 50+ seats down is a little.....strange. Or deluded, one of the two.

Still he's managed to kill off New Labour, as you say. The only strand of Labour Government that got anywhere near power in the last 30 years...gone. However a united Labour party? We'll see about that one

The Conservatives made a pretty big leap in terms of votes cast and share of the vote too, and given how shocking May's campaign was, I really doubt she's inspried a new generation

Still not seeing that 70 seat majority anywhere. Anyway! before you reply! not going to get into this shit throwing competition again, it gets stale quickly.

Well this is going to go down well...

DUP member mocked up an image of a terror group flag flying outside of #10

DUP man celebrated election with photo of terror group flag in Downing Street - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

I love the INSTANT damage control when he realises what he's done

"I thought it was an Apprentice Boys flag," he said. "I never noticed that it was a UVF one. I've no time for them and I don't endorse them."

Sure he didn't know....
