Fangz posted:Mostly I am wondering whether Labour would have more seats at this point if the Green voters also voted tactically. Not really. From the few seats I've been looking at for myself anf friends, even Lab+Lib+Green is less than Tory in a lot of cases. A consolidated "Left" vote might have picked up a few more seats, but not enough to win. The country is just full of shits.

Nobody's going to riot over the result. All that ever happens here is people with power and a voice, using people without either to empower themselves further. There is no party which cares about you, no party that wants to help you, no party that is interested in anything except the furthering of their own interests. So from today we get more of what we've always had, and it will be accepted by most, lauded by some, and endured by all. I was hoping that perhaps, what we'd get would be something that would perhaps not be as destructive as what we will end up with, not because of good intent, but because one party thought that offering less destruction would be their way to power. But we've got what we've got. So let's all drink to the greater misery rather than the lesser, because what else can you do?

Does anyone have a read on the turnout at this point? What if the ~40% of the country who decided they wouldn't vote because nobody represented their views, had had someone actually left-wing to vote for?

maev posted:The result couldn't have been realistically better. The English population isn't as stupid as this thread likes to make them out to be, they genuinely want a more stable economy based off real private sector growth, not the easily swallowed idea of more poo poo for free with no cost to it. Every economist not being paid by the Tories, including the IMF and World Bank, hardly bastions of Communism, have pointed at austerity as inhibiting growth. The Tories are probably going to lead the economy into another recession. In fact arguably the only reason they haven't done so already is because they eased austerity measures when there was a major threat of a double-dip recession. maev posted:Its amazing how much the left disparages the working class (racist, ignorant, easily lead by the papers, CUNTS!!) giving voters no credit for their choices on a legitimate rational basis. The arrogance and callousness of it is one of the reasons why we're looking at an actual Tory majority in a system where it was believed by all pundits that the days of majorities are long gone. As a legitimate Working Class (in origin; students don't really have a class) White Man, I can say that the so-called stereotypes of the (Southern English) working class as racist, ignorant, and easily led are basically true and describe a good chunk of my family and friends of the family. Being exposed to a non-stop stream of hatred and ignorance is my entire motivation not to end up in the same position as my parents. The state never helped me when I was homeless, and it continues to fail to help people in vulnerable positions, instead choosing to focus on Brad and Sheila in Essex who hate foreigners. In general: I consider the state to be my enemy at this point.

peanut- posted:Anyone got a link for popular vote numbers? I keep seeing them quoted but I'm struggling to find any source. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/results This is where I'm seeing my numbers from. They put the tories 6 seats below full majority at this stage, and the seats still left to declare don't look likely to go anything other than blue, with the possible exception of the one seat where I'd actually prefer a tory to win, Thanet South... The only remaining ray of light in this election is that Farage can still lose and crawl his slimy Deep One self back into the sea whence he came. If that fails to happen as well I may very well start drinking in a few minutes and not stop for 5 years. And I'm not exactly a drinker.

With the UK running interference it will be bad and do spare a thought for your own nature, which will be gutted and built on or turned over to private interests

thespaceinvader posted:Does anyone have a read on the turnout at this point? When Labour was properly left wing it failed to win an election for multiple decades, and that was WITH Scotland's votes. It had to move to the right to become a plausible party even when Scotland was in their pocket. Going left would be an insanely bad strategy now that a lot of Scotland is permanently out of play, those are the facts whether we like them or not. Without Scotttish Labour there will be exclusively right/center-right prime ministers of the UK for the next few decades, barring a massive Greece-style foundament shaking economic crash. lmaoboy1998 fucked around with this message at 10:04 on May 8, 2015 |
