I don't want to see Reform get any seats really when it's filled with people like this.
They're just a live action version of the Daily Mail. They only believe immigrants and trans people are a problem because Farage and his crew tell them so. Otherwise I bet those groups of people have barely any impact on their daily lives whatsoever.
I'm in maidstone, as blue as it gets. i'll be watching everyone else turn red with envy
I'm not too far away and I'm hoping the area has some common sense, it's always blue here as well. Although my wife said many votes have been lost as some people didn't know about voter ID. Bloody Tories, it hasnt helped here though has it!
tbf Helen Grants majority has been significantly reduced. i can take solace in that at least
Happy to see the Tories get obliterated, but not feeling confident about the incoming Labour government. The fact that a bunch of Tories defected to them and they were endorsed by the Sun is a bad sign IMO.
Anyone got that link that recalculates the results of the GE by different voting systems? For example if we had a form of PR how would this election turned out? I swear it was posted here a few days ago.
Given, many systems require more than just marking one box. While, even those that do not, would drastically change how people choose their vote.
I am unsure any such site can give a realistic result from available data?
Edit:
If we just assume proportional based on % of vote yesterday.
Tor 22.9% Lab 35.2% LDe 11.3% Ref 14.5% SNP 2.5% Oth 13.6%
It is bloody hard to see how either party could form a viable 50% Lab LD SNP and a few independents would take it over 50. But honestly, it is hard to imagine that working with the politicians voted yesterday. Tory Ref would need all independents. So less likely to work.
But as I said. Voters would go to the polls with very different ideas about how to vote.
Labours majority is huge but vulnerable. It's clear that Reform bled millions of votes away from the Tories.
Quick question - does anyone have the link to that "Tories being voted out" bingo card website? It was posted a few days ago, but I can't find it.
[EDIT] Found it - Feddit thread - I've probably not formatted the link properly
Torygeddon Bingo Website4, 5 now are labour holds. So does not show a real change yet.
11% swing in these seats def indicates a win. Just.
It will be interesting to see if the exit polls are correct in labour gains having a larger swing.

There are some very close run seats out there, how close do they have to be to do a recount?
