UK General Election, June 8th 2017

Ugh, I really hate May. I'd almost want Corbyn to win to get a decent Tory leader, but most of the Tory frontbench is pathetic anyway. Hammond is decent though.

Aaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.

People in the Netherlands are discussing how these attacks will affect the fcking europa league final (not the extra security but like the actual game). But I agree that we should be waiting to discuss this, it's respectless. Just wait a day or two.

I mean there's a situation where Labour could get between 200-230 seats; and the Tories only get 320-330, which would lead to the May getting putsched by her own party; and Corbyn surviving on until conference, or until next year.

I still think the big problem is that everyone is looking at the national vote share; the local elections, combined with Copeland+the regional polling still makes me think that we could end up with Cons 43: Lab 35, and still see some ridiculously lopsided results.

FWIW: The most recent YouGov had Labour getting 11% of the UKIP vote. This will save them from any big landslide (e.g getting less than 150 seats).

I've spend the last day just realizing that I don't understand this election at all.

Who would be in the best position to suceed her if that happens? I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson would win. Rudd probably is too close to May and Hammond doesn't seem really interested (he's boring as hell anyway, but I'd gladly take him as PM tbh).

Osborne's editorial in the standard is pretty hard hitting on May; not just on immigration, but on the whole campaign. I do wonder if there will be a by-election for him to jump into in the next couple of years.

Osborne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> May. I really hope Osborne's views will be the future of the Tories instead of May's, but I'm afraid that's just not going to happen. Atleast May probably won't win in a landslide.

So how long would May last if she wins about 330 seats?

but strong and stable

It's amazing to see how leftists suddenly love the police
