The key to Blair's wins was the Scottish labour seats, and their Ultimate demise was losing them all. I think the strong remainers are more likely to vote tactically, than the strong brexiteers. Johnson has only one answer to any question, and that is get brexit done, and then we have the farage party going after the same people. If the brexit vote is split in labour marginals, then the incumbents could sneak in in enough seats to thwart a tory majority, I can see remainers in traditional labour seats voting labour rather than the Libs, as they have promised another referendum and they would prefer that to a Boris led brexit. I don't have anything more than a hunch to back up the above, and admit to a heavy dose of wishful thinking. I will be voting SNP up here in Blackfords constituency of Ross, Skye and Lochaber. Thanks for the post. Maybe wishful thinking but there is plenty of logic in there as well. As suspected speculation is starting in the media and the voting hasn't even finished yet. It is going to be a long night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not close at all. A disaterous night for the UK and the ordinary working man. A couple of positives though, zero seats for Farage (as always) and Corbyn must resign immediately. Hopefully, Momentum's stranglehold on the Labour Party will also be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanrchase Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 20 hours ago, JonnyF said: I've still got hopes that his deal (which I don't like) is only there so that he doesn't have to campaign to win the Election on a policy of No Deal, which would be difficult to win as it would provide too much Project Fear ammo (cliff edge, car crash, blah blah) to Remainers. I'm thinking/hoping for a Tory majority of 20-30, followed by a vote on his deal weeks before the deadline which the ERG "surprisingly" rejects and then we're forced into No Deal at the end of January with Boris holding his hands up and saying "Nothing I could do Guv" with a cheeky grin on his face. Maybe that's just wishful thinking though. So you complain that "<deleted>" are ignoring a democratic decision to leave but wish that Boris succeeds campaigning on a deal then switches to no deal? You are as bad as the "<deleted>" you complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who does the ordinary working man work for?uber or some other employee in the gig economy,on a zero hour contract and " self employed"to allow their employees to swerve the minimum wage,Labour had their chance to rescind Thatcher anti trade union laws but chose to back their banking buddies in the city which led to the crash of 2007/8.at least.by voting tory the average working man feels he might have the chance of better working conditions due to leaving the European union and freedom of movement.

I didn't realise it was all those lefties that voted remain and it was the right wing brigade voting leave. Odd then how in my constituency (the Tory heartland of Surrey) the vast majority voted remain as did most of the South East. Whereas in the Labour heartlands in the North the majority voted to leave. Still! wouldn't want to interfere with your rant. Told you so. <deleted> need to zip it and move on with the rest of us. Democracy has a rub and that is you don't always get the result you want but it requires the loser's consent for it to work. Those that don't like it can always buy some potato chips to dip in that salt they already have as they leave at the airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell but don't forget a much larger percentage of our trade lies with the EU than vice versa. We need them far more than they need us. And how many countries in the EU have decided to leave since our referendum three and a half years ago? Zero, in fact more have applied to join.
