Paperhouse posted:doesn't really make a difference because they're still Tories and would ally with them if necessary No I think the suggestion is the brexit party has prevented the tories from securing a majority in that seat leaving it to another party.

Debbie Does Dagon posted:Maybe we just need to Brexit so we can go back to fighting the Tories on other issues This has been the case since 2017 but unfortunately it required every non-Tory MP to vote the same way plus all of the various Tory defectors and the only party which supported literally every option to remove the Brexit issue without hard brexiting was Labour, all of the other non-Tory parties hosed around and refused to support anything other then their preferred option

serious gaylord posted:They're recounting Blyth loving valley. Walton Simons posted:Exit poll suggesting Hartlepool and loving Sedgefield will go Tory. 6-7k majorities there. The loving hologram that is David Morris of Morecambe and Lunesdale is at 99% to keep his seat. This is a disaster unless it's the worst exit poll in history several times over. all 3 leave constituencies by large margins Get Brexit Done worked I reckon

RottenK posted:Literally any leader that doesn't want to kill the poors would have a negative image because the press lies about people like that. People somehow seem to have forgotten what reception the media gave Milliband. Inbetween BBCs pro-government stance and Murdoch there is no such thing as picking a leader with an image the media will like.

Bridget Phillipson lost most of her majority in Sunderland (12k > 3k). The leave vote would have won if it wasn't split between BXP and CON.

It is possible that given the innate conservatism of a lot of people here the only way to get a left wing government in the UK is to run as the centre left. One thing which is clear is that having *actually* centre-left policies doesn’t affect much because people don’t read the manifestos. It sucks that you can’t get our fellow citizens to believe in the possibility of a better life but what can you do?

Re midlands: Thatcher hosed the midlands hardest of any of the industrial towns, repeatedly and brutally. Then the Tories blamed the EU for loving the midlands. Then the midlands voted to leave the EU quite heavily because the EU spawned thatcher and her policies, according to the tories. Then the Tories won the midlands because only they could stop the EU from keeping going with EU Thatchers tory policies from the EU which were loving the midlands, via Thatcher. also, racism. Midlands is full of racists.
