Ghost-Slug posted:While I'm posting, is there a thread consensus on whether The Conversation is any good? The good: it points you to interesting articles on things that aren't covered by other outlets. Often popsci, but some sci at least. The bad: their political coverage is both sides liberalism with heavy doses of civility.

Angepain posted:Also in general the scottish gains are due to the tories positioning themselves as The Only Stop The Indyref Party every single election to the exclusion of all other policies. Strangely no mention of Brexit on my tory leaflets, funny that... Yeah, this is what I think too. The Tories have a strong position as the unionist party in Scotland, and in 2017 being the pro-Brexit party was a boon for them too, because they hadn't completely hosed it up yet. There are plenty of people in Scotland for whom those issues are very important. But I think Brexit is going to hurt them really badly this election. I expect to see them lose the gains they made last time  Scotlab sucks, but Labour's popularity nationally should help. SNP will make the most gains in Scotland I think.

Watched the you are not alone vid and caught up on a few pages. Crying status; happening. I am dreading that black hole in my stomach on friday morning, mostly cos it lives there every other loving morning already, but super stoked for the possible relief of good news. I just want some hope that things can change for the better, that goodness can be recognised through the hate they throw and the lies they tell. Anyway. Vote Labour!

I'm incredibly anxious and incredibly thankful for this community. I've been very emotional the last 2 days and it'll probably only get worse. This makes no sense because I know that this election is only a small step. It'll help a lot of people if Labour get in, but it's only the start. Make no mistake, there's a storm coming. It could be tomorrow, it could be in a few years when Labour win or it could be in 50 years when the climate crisis hits us in the face, but it's coming. At that point, it will be either us or the nazis and it's our duty to make sure that those not yet born don't scorn us for not acting. Do what you can, even if it's very little. Some of us can't help. That's okay. You're all precious comrades and knowing you're with us in spirit is enough. It sustains us because communities are important. It might not be on Thursday (although it loving just might be!), but we will win. It's a matter of keeping the torch lit until we get there and putting in the work to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

^^^^^ Just remeber, we're fighting the system, everything is stacked against us by those with money and power - the fact that we're even in spitting distance of a win is a minor miricle. If on friday the Tories have a majority, remeber this, and continue the fight. As Picard once said "It is possible to do your best and still lose, this is not weakness, this is life."

Communist Thoughts posted:its loving terrifyingly close though, look at that tory swing in 2017, what are the scots doing??? The SNP could never hope to maintain the momentum they had in 2015, Scotlab hadn't recovered from their terrible indiref campaign (still haven't afai can see) and Ruth Davidson was, for a tory, charismatic, relatable and not a blithering Etonian toff, allowing the Ruth Davidson Party to make big gains in the most shameful Scottish election since 1983. I really hope losing her will make a significant difference.

Grey Hunter posted:^^^^^ Spot on. Please try not to speculate yourselves into a panic. It's less than two days until we know how this will turn out. Two sleeps, if you can sleep. And please try to. Look after your health, and if you think exposing yourself to  on election night will not be good for you, then don't do it. It's not gonna tell you anything useful until the exit poll happens, and even then it's not certain until the count is finished.But if you think you'll have fun and it will be hilarious, go right ahead  Just don't view it as useful information for the concerned. And regardless of the outcome, we're not done here. We're taking this country back for the many, and we're taking this world back for everyone. The Tories have thrown everything they have at us and burned all of their resources, and they are broken. If they're not truly finished after Thursday, we'll just smash them again because we are just getting started. And if we win on Thursday, we can be gladdened, but we still have a lot of work to do. The difference will be that we know we're making progress. We cannot be stopped.

You want to do good, and you are, but you must look after yourself. Eat little bits when you can make yourself do so. A single grape (or whatever) can get your digestion going and help with a little blood sugar boost to make having more food easier. Get some real food inside you because crap alone will make you feel worse, but don't feel bad if you need a little crap. This is a very difficult time. You're awesome, take care of yourself.

From @YouGov data. If I was in CCHQ this would scare me tonight. An additional Labour surge is happening fast and late: those last three dots. No way of knowing if it’s sustainable at this stage but key to watch. https://twitter.com/jamesjohnson252/status/1204534453600686083

More well wishings to you all from a Nordic country, no matter what happens it's been unreal to look at an election and dare feel hope for something other than tepid status-quo keeping. Best I've been able to do was argue with a british uncle who seemed interested in the Labour manifesto yet keeps posting dumb anti-labour/Corbyn poo poo. He's mostly ignored my rebuttals rather than argue, but last night I argued with him that if Corbyn somehow turns out as bad as he believes he is, it's just one man to remove from power and that's that, if Tories win and the NHS debacle turns out real, there's no bloody way to stop it since they're all in on it. I feel like that gave him pause, might never know if it made a difference, but I'll be very happy if I could make the tiniest possible difference over there  I don't feel like a similar movement is happening here anytime soon, but you've all made me a lot more aware and angry in a good way at things, and if an opportunity to become proper politically active springs up here, I have all of you to thank for it. It's a hell of an uphill battle, but gently caress 'em, we'll win it eventually.

IIRC, you have professional experience in this sort of thing in politics, and you've generally been relatively cautious about Labour's chances and polling? So you thinking this is a big deal is a good sign  Also, extra love for yer babby, Zabby!

Have two days' worth of thread to catch up with still, but, what a beautiful gift to wake up to.  Also yesterday received a Brexit party leaflet addressed directly to my very obviously non-British name. So not only someone's leaking info off the non-open electoral register, but also leaving enough of it out to the point where EU-immigrants get encouraged to vote for Brexit. In a constituency that had 20k+ Lab majority last time. lol.
