Labour majority of 187 in Canterbury

LABOUR GAIN CANTERBURY

First time since 1918!

Ever, actually. The constituency was created in 1918 but in its previous boundaries was held by Tories since 1874.

From Patrick Ruffini's Twitter....biggest swings against Conservatives came from high income constituencies:




That's a grim sign for the future.

this election almost turned out to be an utter disaster .

Corbyn could well be PM by the end of the year, so...

UKIP voters screwed the Tories tonight and for they are big fools as they voted for a far right candidate in 2015 and then far left in 2017.


If UKIP voted torie we would have had the tories up to 350 seats maybe instead of 319 .

Well, they came from Labour to begin with so why would they vote Tory now?


One of their founding members was Nigel Farage who came from the tories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Farage#Early_years

They didn't vote for UKIP on social/economic reasons.
