Bryter posted:Yeah this is the thing. A lot of Tories probably wish they'd never won in 1992. If in the long run this sets up a 1997 of the left, so much the better. yea as much as it sounds like the whole 'actually I love being bodyslammed over and over' joke it's not the worst thing to come just short of properly taking the throne in this context. PM BoJo (god willing) is gonna have to preside over the UK shooting itself in the foot while screaming "YOU'RE WELCOME".

The UKIP collapsing is so weird because in half the ridings they apparently (?) went Labour, in the other half they went Tory Unless I'm interpreting this completely wrong
