    I have spent the last twelve months defending working class voters in the UK - no more - they are thick and fickle. And reduced the uk to a joke.

    Heh heh....

    We did try to warn you that trying to incite so called 'populist uprisings' were never a good idea - as they have a nasty habit of coming back to bite you on the rear end - but you Brexiteers just wouldn't listen...

    The populist vote is well and truly over.

    Just that Labour are holding on to the NE is saying a lot already IMO.

    I have live opinions coming in from all over Europe (Spain, Netherlands, a single Romanian etc).

    Best they can hope for is what they have in many of our opinions, although the postal vote may hold up.

    I'm struggling to see how, unless the tories scrape over the line, there is going to be any prospect of a functioning government formed out of this mess.

    I guess tories plus dup at 325 would form a gov - can't imagine a very stable one but I'm not sure they will get there.

    Tories picking up ukip in the north but are they close enough anywhere to take many seats? Looks like they are certain to lose more seats than expected in the south and remain areas.
    I think....

    well lets face it, the reality is the public are fed up with the cuts to the basic services that we the people are accustomed to.

    the terror attacks have back labour on the police cuts
    the students are coming out to vote (looks likely) now i know its a massive cost to all to supply free uni's, but hell how many politicans can really claim they got the younger generation out to vote
