UK General Election 2019 - Election Day and Results Thread

Why do people automatically assume the Scottish will choose the EU over Britain? The economic and personal links between Scotland and the rest of the UK are far stronger than the ties between Scotland and the EU. Surely the Scottish have no interest in erecting a hard border with their southern neighbors.

Why wouldn’t they be able to get a second referendum? It seems clear that Scotland wants out.

It is?

In a Britain run by Boris Brexiteers? No, they would vastly prefer the EU over that.  

Plenty of studies have shown that the Scottish are not distinctly more pro-European than the rest of the UK. And voting to join the EU is an entirely different matter than voting to stay (look at polls from Norway or Switzerland on the matter).

Blyth picked up by Tories.

Glad to hear that we don't need to worry about Polish Plumbers any longer....

Definitely an amazing day for small mfg with $$$ that look at a scenario (Especially in the North of England) where the MNCs are shifting the factories elsewhere where they poured money and support into a "protectionist" economic platform and tried to pretend that everything while all was all right, while they loot the work of labor, maximize profits for the greedy bastards at the top, then next thing you know pretend "it's not my fault"....

Amazing that Trump Jr did so well in the UK.... hopefully Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will finally say goodbye to English Colonial Rule and leave the pale pasty vanilla English arse exposed for what it actually is.

Russia has won... Game, Set, and Match...

The Czar controls the peasants.... enemies eliminated in America and the UK... Armies march forward in the Ukranian front...

They own it, they won it, and I will bow down subserviently to serve the New World Order of 2020....

Yeah, it was the Russians.

Honest question: Does anybody really think Corbyn's supposed antisemitism cost Labour a meaningful number of votes? Do working-class people in leave areas actually care about Corbyn's position on BDS or Israeli settlements? I personally doubt it but the media has been mentioning this issue non-stop as a factor.
