Why are they passing the polling boxes to each other rather than just walking?

Harder to swap them with fake ones I guess.
Or to show off to the cameras

I genuinely don't understand. 9 years of the country obviously going to poo poo. Manifesto clearly full of lies. I genuinely don't know why anyone would vote for the Tories other than racism and spite.

Also all the old folks will still get the NHS. They'll just privatize it for people 65 and younger, if the US's model is to be followed.

Is this like Brexit and everyone is legitimately surprised by the outcome? Were people thinking Labour was going to win a majority outright, or just that the Tories would be prevented from having a majority?

More seats to watch for the insomniacs, with 2017 declarations, they're all Labour held at the moment:

Kettering (10,562; 0025)
West Bromwich East (7,713; 0130)
Leigh (9,554; 0119)
Stockton North (8,715; 0114)
Tynemouth (11,666; 0147)

Hopefully Kettering declares on time. The longer these ones go, the more likely that we actually are 80s hosed.

gently caress it then, I'm now full-on accelerationist. The bits of the country most hosed by this are the ones who voted for it, and gently caress them.

Whatever happens next, I hope you can all at least hold on to control of the Labour party. The pressure for a corporate takeover will be immense. Your time can come again but not if the New Labour ghouls ride this back into control.

Maybe if Corbyn hadn't let Seamus Milne dictate party policy Labour could've positioned itself as a party of remain. Instead we got wishy washy bullshit to satisfy northern Labour voters who vote Conservative anyway.

Been watching a lot of news atm, have access to a TV as home on my xmas holidays.
And every second interview with a public person was 'Get brexit done now, Im sick of it dragging on'.
And I would argue these idiotic views were the only thing sinking in from the rest of the bullshit.

Hello, dear
It's not even as if this would just be as bad as a run of the mill Tory majority. If Johnson has got a majority the public has endorsed his insane, far right nationalist party. We'll be so utterly hosed.
