UK Snap Election: 8 June 2017

He’s gone from the “British Obama” to just plain gone. Wonder how much he regrets that coalition with the Tories.

Nick Clegg gone.

Clegg’s replacement is erudite…

The prospect is that it is the Scottish seats for the Tories which saves them.

I’m more convinced than ever that we are living in a simulation that has flipped to “worst timeline” mode.

Remember that in Scotland they are the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party. With the emphasis on the latter.

I see that Sinn Fein have gained a seat. May might get a majority after all. Of one or two.

From the halcyon days of “I agree with Nick” to this

Landslide for Corbin in his own constituency.

Poundland Tories manage to hold off Monster Raving Loonies in Islington North. It’s close though, only around 300 votes between them.

The SNP have lost another seat.

Arch-opportunist Boris Johnson, possibly the least-principled man in UK politics, refuses to answer whether he still supports May.

The Communist League candidate got 7 votes. I’m pretty sure that’s the lowest total I’ve ever heard read out live on TV

I see SF have gained yet another seat. It would be truly ironic if they allowed the Tories an absolute majority because they do not take up their seats.

And I see that Ross Thompson has won Aberdeen South, so my tactical vote worked.

Absent a national crisis, in Westminster systems the weaker party in a coalition traditionally ends up bleeding support.

Far better not to enter into a coalition, in my opinion, and have a minority government that has to court you every day for your support, vote-by-vote.

It’s still dark outside but the pre-dawn chorus has just started.

Someone got 3 votes in Theresa May’s constituency - a new low. Lord Buckethead got more more than 200 tho

Speaking as a fitful sleeper, if not a full-blown insomniac, this is my favourite time of day at this time of year. :slight_smile:

Theresa May fought a hard, positive campaign on a platform of planet-conquering, dominating inferior species, and Lovejoy. No, wait, that was Lord Buckethead.
