This is not true btw, the guy seems to be lying, bad at maths or not linking the full results. Also another lie, but this is just funny: quote:With the Lib Dems currently on 10 seats, leader Tim Farron said: "These results tell a clear and stark message.

https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/860486250637262848 This seems surprising, both for the relatively low gain for the Tories (related to number of seats won) and the high gains for the Lib Dems that haven't translated into seats. EDIT: Translated into Electoral Calculus that would give a hilarious result of a 28 seat Con majority, with the Lib Dems gaining 12 and Labour losing 20. Would certainly be a surprise. jabby fucked around with this message at 14:35 on May 5, 2017 |

Unsurprisingly to anyone but the idiot narcissist in the thread, Liverpool area returned massively for Labour. As usual, it would have been closer to 90% than 65%, but people on the Wirral are poo poo.

Tigey posted:Perhaps it compensates for the seemingly miserable turnout yesterday, which I imagine would inflate the Conservative vote? Although looking closer, turnout in at least one ward (the largest ward too, Morriston which has 5 seats) is given as 0%, which is probably skewing things. Most other wards are over 30%, though I guess that's still bad.

Turnout in the general will be increased and will probably just result in more Tory votes because we live in the Armageddon-by-stupidity timeline.

Lord of the Llamas posted:The Conservatives soaking up the UKIP votes because they've adopted all of UKIP's policies is a consequence of Jeremy Corbyn being leader? Sadly, yes. Looking at this from the perspective of building a winning coalition, it's largely Corbyn's fault. The Tories feel safe on the centre, so have rhetorically gone after the right wing voters who had been choosing UKIP. Early indications are that this is working really loving well. If Jeremy Corbyn wasn't Labour leader, then the Tories would have to contend with the possibility of their centrist voters deserting them if they went too right wing. But as it stands, the Tories have maintained their centrist coalition and cannibalized their right wing rivals. It shouldn't have been possible to do both, but Corbyn (and the anaemic Lib-Dems) allowed them to by not presenting a credible centrist alternative. This would all be fine if the big initial hope of Corbyn, that he would energize a mass of disengaged and disenfranchised, had come up good. There's a large enough quantity of non-voters that large scale changes in engagement patterns could warp the electoral math considerably. But that dream died in the 2016 local elections. When that became clear, Corbyn became at best dead weight, and at worst an active electoral danger. There's a bigger danger lurking beyond. If the Tories succeed in turning UKIP into a stub, they're sitting pretty in the future. Because instead of a split right and a split left, we'll see a united right and a split left. The Tories can ignore the right wing, pander to centrists and marginals, and continue their low key campaign of wanton civil destruction for fun and profit, unable to be opposed effectively by the half dozen left of centre opponents who are also competing with each other.

I still suspect that after an election or two the right will split between the outright nationalists and the capitalist wings: nothing has been resolved and Brexit will probably be a sore spot for all of them no matter what the final arrangements will be. Lack of electoral opposition from Labour (hopefully they'd still be providing ideological opposition) will embolden this urge as well. namesake fucked around with this message at 14:56 on May 5, 2017 |

Maphis posted:I didn't see a single door knocker or leaflet from any of the parties. The polling station was equally as empty. Developing a campaigning organization takes time. I'm a 'new' Labour member (actually, like many others, an old member who rejoined). Accompanied by other 'new' members, I've done leafleting for these local elections. But we've had no support or encouragement from old members at any point, though we've sat through less active old members moaning on about the lack of action from new members while we were right there. We've talked about ways we can strengthen the local party - for example by making an effort to actually meet and talk to our new members at least once - but it cannot happen overnight. MikeCrotch posted:I don't think Corbyn is going to be leader by the time of the next general election but that doesn't mean he's going to step down immediately after. Changing the rules of a democratic party takes time (and Conferences). I wish the left had been a bit more on the ball against last year's 'The members elected lefties to the NEC so we'll just add two more places for right wingers' move, but we did fight off the Unite challenger so there is still hope we can get the McDonnell amendment through this summer. Corbyn can't just do whatever he likes. I thought I was an impatient person, but what with things like these and the reaction to election results where little has changed except for UKIP's collapse, I really wonder if short-termism isn't the left's biggest problem now. We need to put in years of work. It's not going to pay off immediately. Didn't we always know that?
