Apparently they're recounting his seat now. If Boris ends up going out... what happens then?

Boris was announced as the winner hours ago. He won by like 10%.

John Curtice is what you'd get if you opened the Big British Book of Clichés to "professor" and I'm real glad he got to look so smug about his exit poll model when Dimbers spoke to him earlier

I really enjoyed seeing him after 6 hours of election coverage and seeing that his hair had remained exactly the same

I wonder what UKIP's final tally for lost deposits is. Got to be over £100k.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
So two questions from an ignorant American:

WTF happened to the SNP?

WTF happened to UKIP? I kinda have the idea that maybe UKIP stood down in a bunch of ridings to support pro-Brexit Tories, but is that it?

It is rich as gently caress, but full of voters whose wealth depends more on the performance of the market/sterling and business with the Eu than it does on income tax rates. Earned income is something that happens to the maid, they have portfolios and assets that appreciate)

They've consequently spit their dummies over the hard brexit camp and their ultra puritan mp and voted for lib dems/labour.

The second indy-ref talk has backfired and people are slowly getting fed up with the SNP failing to talk about anything else. Farmer heartland in Scotland switched to Tory (nothing new there). South Scotland has always been traditional tartan tory heartland. They were never going to return the same seat count anyway.

Ukip have done what they set out to accomplish and are now irrelevant. They never really had policies anyway other than getting out of Europe. Now that that's achieved their voters are returning to primary choices.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

love these serious political commentators that advocate for the most idiotic political choices possible. I'm sure labour would have done real well trying to scramble for a new leader a month before the election :ughh:

So the right wing party in Northern Ireland is happy to caucus with the Tories, but the left wing party in Northern Ireland has a hard policy of protesting the UK and thus doesn't take their seats. This has the effect of making it easier for Conservatives to form a government.

Is that about right? Leftists ratfucking themselves out of power as usual?

they don't want to pledge loyalty to the queen to take their seats

all the voting areas are broken into little areas like 70,000 big

a shitload of people voted hell of close in a lot of these areas and it's FPTP, so clutch wins in some places and a lot of losing all over

man, I learned a lot about the Westminster system today :unsmith:
