2019 United Kingdom Election CONSERVATIVE WIN

[its free real estate]

Zero chance of Corbyn forming government. All that matters is whether the Conservatives govern as a majority, or as a severely hamstrung minority government because of the Brexit issue.

 

[Socrates2]

I've got money on Tories not getting a majority @$4.
You can't trust polling anymore.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Nah, it's just the general misconception being pedaled that MSM has some worldwide anti-conservative agenda. Been pushed since the beginning of the Trump campaign. It's particularly amusing when the argument is made in Australia.

It started before Trump but the bullshit accusation has really been dialed up since.

The British economy will improve

There is no evidence for (or against) that statement

Polls have opened. Close at 9am AEDT. Don't forget to vote in the thread poll which closes at the same time.

Would be awesome if Corbyn wins and we see 3 years of celebrating true communism until the money runs out and we discover to our horror that it was never true communism and we gotta try again

A Conservative minority government?
How would that work?

If they dump Boris, who's the new leader? Gove?
They're scraping the bottom of the barrel already

It worked in 2017.

I'm not sure how you can describe anything since 2017 as working
You've gone from a majority in 2015 to May's genius move of calling a snap election to Boris getting his arse handed to him in the Commons after moderate Tories got purged or left of their own accord
And you've burned your bridges with the dinosaur deniers
What's your thinking here, that the Brexit Party will win enough seats to prop you up?

For anyone else to form government, they will have to cobble together a coalition of 4-5 parties. Do you think that will happen?

 

[Hoops]

British system sucks

 

[Bomberboyokay]

British system sucks

Yep. Most people represented by MPs they didn't vote for.

First past the post

First past the post (FPTP) is a system used in elections, in which the candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if they fail to win an absolute majority, and is the least effective democratic system. Nations with FPTP are usually either one-party systems, dominant-party systems, or...

I could see a fragile peace for 6 months as they organise Brexit.

I think that's the best thing that could happen
Consensus politics
Labour would have to rein in some of their more ambitious projects
Lib Dems would have to support a People's vote rather than all-out Remain
SNP would be part of a Westminster administration more sympathetic to Scottish interests
And I can't see Plaid or the Greens objecting, for the 4-5 seats they may be worth

That’s what’s known as wishful thinking.

We'll know in a day or so

 

[Socrates2]

There's an outside chance that fat, lying Boris can lose his seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip which would be wonderful.

 

[Visions]

So has Swinson claimed victory and the Prime Ministership yet?

 

[tandino]

I reckon there's a decent chance that the pollsters and the pundits have misread the electorate and really ****ed this up.

Which way?

 

[The_torpedo]

I have a feeling that Corbyn is gonna pull off an upset and win just enough seats to form a coalition govt. (probably with the greens, Plaids, and maybe one of or both the SNP and Lib Dems)
