Not just the net, but communities in general. Rural are Urban England are like completely different countries. The dissonance between those who live in the major cities, and those who live well outside them, cannot be overstated enough.Absolutely. Catastrophic result for Labour, he has to go.
I think this is another example of how 'bubbled' the net can be. So much positivity on twitter about high turnouts and high youth turnout. Unless so many of the same demo actually swung behind the Tories in the end...
Youth vote hiding from the weather, Tory making the right call by playing musical chairs with leaders, repeat the lie actually working, people being blinded by how good Corbyn actually is and not seeing his favorables for what they are: an anchor.How did it go so bad? I really thought labour was in a better position than last election.
Was always expecting a Tory majority but didn't expect it to be that big.
Damn. Please US don't follow in their footsteps next November.
Nobody wants progresive politics more likely, we better not foul ourselves.
They have been horrible.
1. Brexit has divided the country
2. Corbyn is deeply unpopular
3. No nonsense Tory manifesto vs pie in the sky Labour one
Literally the smuggest I've ever seen anyone look.
I mean, doesn't that show that reaching out to leave was a waste? Like, Tories didn't lose all their remain voters despite being very clearly hard Brexit.labour get hammered in every leave area, which are massively more important under FPTP

Boris Johnson. Michael Gove. Priti Patel. Jacob Rees-Mogg. James Cleverly. Sajid Javid. Dominic Raab.
How? How the fuck can you vote for these people?
The Brexit result, when factored through constituencies, is actually 65/35 Leave.Genuine question - why didn't Labour/Corbyn oppose Brexit? Could they have done better with 48% (a few years ago) of the country looking for opposition on this issue?
Yeah was expecting a small majority, hoping the estimate is still waited badly, but looks like I will seriously look at working abroad next year
He's as broken as I am
I'm absolutely devastated. I don't know how we come back from this.
The exit poll would need to be wrong by historic proportions to make even a dent.
There was no clear Remain party though, which means that Tories could sneak by in those Remain seats through a plurality.I mean, doesn't that show that reaching out to leave was a waste? Like, Tories didn't lose all their remain voters despite being very clearly hard Brexit.
I said the same but was shot down in this very thread for saying it. Corbyn lost to Teresa May of all people, so he was gonna loose to anyone who was better at campaigning. He should have stepped down and let someone else have a go.I'm surprised anyone is surprised. Corbyn was always gonna drag them down due to the campaign against him. He should have stepped down years ago fairly or not.
people in this thread totally misreading this result. any Labour leader would have struggled with this Brexit position. Labour are going to get hit most in the most Brexit-supporting seats. i'm afraid to say I think the second referendum position, right or wrong, has put off many voters and prevented scrutiny of the specific deal on offer. it probably would have been better for Labour to stick to the soft Brexit position
