Since I'm a loving nutcase that actually likes this stuff, everything I see on my feed shows the Tories getting hosed with Labour gaining quite a bit. London's a Labour blowout. Still really early, but May hosed up by calling the election. Sure, she was looking at polls that were +25 Tories at the time, but you gotta know to be happy with what you have. She might not last the weekend. Edit: oh god we're going to get pictures of loving Boris and Donnie together gross

The stories were based mostly on exit polls, but a bunch of results have just come in and at 15% counted, the results are starting to look like predicted.

Best recap of the election I've seen so far, at least at this time. https://twitter.com/janinegibson/status/873005411837849600 Donnie has set a non-tweeting record for his presidency: https://twitter.com/pbump/status/873010167121575938 Mostly because Mattis has his knife-hand on the phone. https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/873006067025924096

Little bit of a thing here today: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-09/saudi-arabia-reaction-to-minutes-silence-causes-controversy/8603454 Great that one of our senators has come out out and explained it: https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/35830750/saudi-soccer-team-would-rather-celebrate-terrorists-than-mourn-th/#page1 "Maybe if it was the birthday of a terrorist, they would have worn black armbands.'

It appears everything for the next few years in Northern Ireland will be gold plated. Well it keeps out Corbyn and a coalition that could possibly includes the Greens.

Just in case you are wondering, the guy is not actually a real reporter. All of his videos are worth a watch if you have any interest in UK/EU politics. They are comedy though so don't go too hard on the hate pedal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsGVghRBdKI

Yeah, I really did not see the Scot swing coming. Angus Robertson got sacked as well and, although I have very different views, he seemed to be an excellent PSNP leader. I really wanted indyref2 though, doesn't make sense for Scotland to remain part of the UK from the UK's point of view unless you are being Nationalistic about it.

Britgoons please explain the Brit elections to me, because the last thing I heard about it was Theresa May doesn't want your kids to have school lunch and education, and the other guy loved terrorists, and the other parties are weirdos too. Please put them on a scale of <gently caress you got mine ------ GET THE GUILLOTINES!> <Hate Gays ----- Love Gays> <Dick in the middle east ----- dick out of the middle east>

Nostalgia4Butts posted:i just don't get why may would possibly give up a majority by allowing a snap election? When she called it she was ahead in the polls by almost 20 points. Then she promised to do a bunch of dumb stuff that would have upset old people, who vote for her a lot usually and she didn't seem to fight the election with any vigour. poo poo backfired and now shes having to go in to a coalition with the Northern Irish version of the conservative party to try and form a government. Problem for her is that she will be left with a 2 MP majority (a few more when Sinn Fein don't take their seats) and Conservative backbenchers, of whom many are old and insane, love to rebel and cause embarrassing government defeats. KildarX posted:Britgoons please explain the Brit elections to me, because the last thing I heard about it was Theresa May doesn't want your kids to have school lunch and education, and the other guy loved terrorists, and the other parties are weirdos too. So right to left: UKIP, Conservatives, SNP, Labour - Lib Dem (it's a bit debatable which way round these go at the moment really), Greens
