British General Election Results

[frigidweirdo]

That's why I need a Martini stimulant to help me keep up.

Go take your concoction darling..... but hurry back for the .....the "running commentary" here

The BBC Projection is now:

Conservatives to get 322 seats

Labour to get 261 seats

SNP to get 32 seats

Liberal Democrats to get 13 seats

That would mean the Conservatives would be short of an overall majority by 4 seats, which the DUP will give them the majority.

There is no scenario whatsover where Labour can form a Government, it is mathematically impossible based on that BBC Projection.

Labour + SNP + Liberal Democrats = 306 where do Labour get another 20 seats from?

Not a lot of value in projections at this stage. Results are coming in thick and fast.

Labour 91
Conservative 72
SNP 13
DUP 4
Plaid Cymru 2
Sinn Fein 2

The next British Government will be the Conservative Party backed by the DUP and also very possibly the Ulster Unionist Party.

The BBC Projection of 322 seats for the Conservatives, they only need one more seat to get The Queens Speech through, because as I commented earlier, Sinn Fein won't take their seats so they don't have a vote, so the working majority is actually only 323 seats as opposed to 326 seats.

Labour will not be their next Government and the Liberal Democrats have already said no.

So Labour 261 + SNP 32 = 293 they have nowhere to get another 30 seats from.

How pathetic that a Tory government would have to rely on 5 Ulster Protestant sectarian votes.
They must be in real deep trouble.

They've done it before, Major's dying government went to the Ulster Unionists to get the support they needed, and the Ulster Unionists are perfectly willing to get favorable policies in govt.

The Communist candidate in Islington won 7 votes.

Results of the 2017 General Election - BBC News

Labour +11 seats
Tories -3 seats
SNP -8 seats
And some changes in Northern Ireland going on.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Tories may not even make 314. Labour coalition is in the cards now. Great!

^ Lol.

The Conservatives at the minimum are on course to get 322 seats, officially they need 326, but as Sinn Fein refuse to take their seats, the Conservatives only need 323 seats to get a Queen's Speech through, add the so far DUP 7 seats to the projected 322 seats and you have a Conservative lead Government of 329 seats.

Labour will be lucky to get any more than 261 seats, the SNP will get 32 or 33, the Liberal Democrats will not back anyone and their leader Tim Farron might even lose his seat, they are having a recount in his seat.

Labour 261 + SNP 32/33 = No Labour Government, No Labour Coalition, Jeremy Corbyn to stay as Leader of The Opposition.

Labour is outperforming pre-election polls.

Politics in North Ireland has changed. The local assembly there is where hope for the people in Ulster lies, not London.

lol

The other Communist candidate was reelected his name is Jeremy Corbyn pro-IRA, pro-Hamas.

I don't know anything about that local assembly you mention, I'll have to read about it.

No what I post is actually going to happen Monte, it's happening trust me.

The Conservatives will be their next Government.

 

[HenryBHough]

A lot of Britons have forgotten the "Winter of Discontent" and what it will mean to them if their next PM is the one candidate who stands far to the left of Marx and just a tad to the left of Lenin.

Be kind, Monte. Everyone is welcome to express an opinion.

 

[Toro]

The Tories won in Scotland!

What is fascinating is that the fringe parties have collapsed, with the traditional parties taking those votes.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Labour is outperforming pre-election polls.

That Labour is gaining seats in Scotland from the SNP makes it even less likely that Labour mathematically can form any type of Coalition, considering Labour are taking seats off the only party that they would be able to count on to agree to a Coalition.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Labour take,Peterborough,Bedford and Canterbury. A change is gonna come..................

You are mistaken; Jeremy Corbyn was right to be open to Sinn Fein because that brought a peace to North Ireland. He was also right to defend the rights of the Palestinian people. Jeremy Corbyn is a hope for the future.

You're up late, Tommy.

The DUP have just won South Belfast from the SDLP.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

The proddys propped up thatcher as well. Its looking grim for Mrs May now. And the fascists have scored zero as well.

Yes, I usually go to bed early but this is fascinating stuff. All bets seem to be off at this point.
