Exit poll predicts Labour will win 410 seats, securing a majority of 170, to the Conservatives’ 131
This headline would have had me over the moon and ready to move to the UK if it was still pre 2020 labor party.
Nothing will fundamentally change.
With Queer Harmer in charge, I’d argue things will get worse. He’s so incredibly hateful.
Transphobes die mad
Why call him that? Like that’s awful. He’s the furthest thing from queer. Queer is good to me, queer people are the best people I know.
I think OP meant it more in the sense that he has the ability to harm queer people. Labour’s stance on trans issues isn’t great, currently.
I hope Sunak, the Conservatives and the Daily Mail each get a slice of humble pie after years of their disastrous rule.
Looks like the story of the night is going to be not that Labour gained lots of votes but that Reform has split the Conservative vote and collapsed their vote as a result and its gifted Labour a lot of wins. Lots of tactical voting has led to the Lib Dems gaining a lot of seats too.
Reform has gained enormously, the Greens and Lib Dems less so.
Yet Lib Dems gained a ton of seats with over 70, and Reform only 4 at the time of me writing my message. Lib Dem wasn’t that far behind total percentage of the vote vs. Reform, 12% vs, 14%, which considering they are almost opposite platforms means we shouldn’t be talking about Reform in isolation.
Labours total vote percentage is down from 2017 and only a few percent up from 2019, so the Tories collapsed losing about 20% of the vote from 2019. Labour following the center right meant they lost more moderate votes to Lib Dems and were not trusted on right wing issues as Reform picked up those votes.
It’s not enough. Conservatives need to pay a bigger price.
