    Default Boris big win.

    Did Corbyn get what he deserved? I think so and his momentum nutters have destroyed the labour party and ensured a decade of hard right tory rule thanks a bunch for that.
    Feel free to disagree but that's how I feel.

    as much as anything, its the you mustnt say this, that or next thing etc people who along with european idiology that has produced the hard right vote.
    The Labour vote is dead now as is the party, mostly because many working class folk are wealthier, own their houses, have 2 cars etc...labour's answer was... we will go further left, not because the people want, but because they want it for the people.

    snp have evolved as a party and keep evolving and look how well they do

    I totally agree
    I never thought I would ever vote for an upper class twit like Boris but found myself with no viable alternative
    Hopefully Labour will realise that the ordinary people have no interest in their political correctness and looney left crap

    Yeah but that contradicts the Labour shadow front bench that kept telling us about the 14m people living in poverty !. I think basically your right though.

    There are a lot on poverty line no doubt, but how many actually bother to vote these days? Many probably aren't signed up, others can't be bothered etc.
    Thatchers idea of folk owning their house to trap them as non lefty labour voters worked. Labour's only successes have been new Labour which was almost leftwing tory.

    There were a lot of young people who registered to vote, but were turned away because they were not on the list. I saw a few at the local polling station.

    The UK is fucked. English Nationalism has destroyed the union, Brexit will destroy the UK, everyone reading this will suffer, anyone who voted conservative, shame on you. Boris is a liar, a smoke and mirrors con man and the conservatives do not give a fuck for anyone but themselves. Did you watch what I watched, did you see and hear what I did, and still you gave them your vote.

    For the rest of us we are at the mercy of little englander europhobia nationalism, Scotland will try to leave, and northern ireland had been thrown under the bus. I am scared about what will happen here, but as long as its here and not on the streets of British cities none of you who voted consevative will give a fuck.

    Worst day in the history of the UK, next to brexit vote.

    Shame on those who exercised their democratic choice and voted for the party they believed offered the best choice for the nation (or the least worst in some cases)?

    Those with that attitude in politics and the media can actually thank themselves for the Conservative party's success as that's mainly what drove the landslide IMHO.

    I know there will be push back against what I said, but its how I feel, and I needed to say it. Time will tell, whether things are going to be as bad as I fear, or worse.

    By English Nationalism you mean Brexit, also popular in Wales...…..And Scottish and Welsh independence have long sought to 'destroy the union'. No one should feel shame for voting Tory with an opposition like Corbyn & Co. Though I agree Boris is an opportunist with no real conviction. I'm guessing you're predicting the rise of Fascism in the UK, nothing so wild will happen, Brits simply aren't up for extremism of any kind.
