What is propelling Labour right now? I'm guessing it's a combination of working class voters and young people?

My point is that it's easier to win back voters who probably voted for you two years ago than ones who haven't in decades like in the U.S. Plus, British voters are way more elastic, and that's for a number of reasons.

We need to target the 6.7-9.2 million Trump voters who voted for Obama in 2012. Many of them were working class whites especially in the Midwest. (Source)


Lok1999 and Trounce em Theresa, thank you for the insight!

The real realignment this election may be conservatives gaining Scottish unionists and young people finally turning out for labor for real.

And Corbyn successfully healing the Remain/Leave divide.

So...why did many Scottish Unionist districts break for the Conservatives and not Labour? Any possible reason why?

Frankly, I can see Lib Dems only hanging on to Westmoreland, Orkney & Shetland, that seat they gained somehow in Scotland (East Dunbartonshire) and not much else.

But muh LIB DEM SURGE.

Take that with a grain of salt, but John McDonnell says Boris will launch his leadership bid as early as tonight.

Lol

I remember seeing something about how the LDs were bragging that their membership had doubled since the last election...guess that didn't exactly come through.
They now are in the positive compared to 2015

Muh. Lib. Dem. Surge.

LAB and CON now tied in number of seats (220) according to BBC

This was a really poor gamble by May. She's not saying on as leader.

It's awfully strange that the pacifist socialist was able to win back UKIP voters.

Populism?
