Same numbers and method for the exit poll as the last few elections and it got them right.
no the fuck they aren't, fuck off with your decorum bullshit
Yeah, that's really what I fear. A lot of suffering ahead for minorities and the poor. Even further decimated public services. Tory cruelty reigning supreme.
I really can't be bothered to talk about the future of the Labour party right now. This is a devastating result and is going to take a long time to come to terms with.
''Just as bad'' as people who enable austerity, massive public sector cuts and tax breaks for the wealthy. Get a grip
Just tab into the /pol/ thread, post the screenshot of the replies you got, and never come back dude.
4chan isn't a legitimate source of news though. I'm not going to clown on you for being conservative, but don't act like that site belongs with the rest.
It's a cesspool
As is your right, but I'll always advocate for using your vote, even if it's for the unedifying reason of just stopping the worst option on the ballot paper.
Not to depress you more, but if it is an 80+ majority, that pretty much guarantees Tory rule at least until 2029.
the entire strategy fell apart when they couldn't get the DUP to bring down the may government and force an early election (which was a really bad strategy)...since then it's just been run on "well what about 2017"
Eh he is not wrong. Corbyn is so unpopular he should've left after he couldn't beat the worst pm ever in 2017
Are we reaching the stage of tone-policing others for calling objectively evil politicians cunts? lol.
Days ago "There's no Tories on Era"
Exit poll: 👀

Generally curious as an outsider, would worsening conditions under a majority Conservative party lead to a more liberal backlash? Something similar to the Tick-Tock method?
I'm surprised at this result especially if it's a [second] referendum on Brexit. That shit barely passed on the first go-round and seemed like after the fact a whole lot of people regretted voting leave. Seriously, WTF?
(But then I'm American and haven't been following moment-to-moment that closely. As regards the imminent loss of the NHS, though, you all have my deepest sympathies.)

Thanks for supporting everything that's wrong in this world. Proud of you :)
Was just reminded of this quote by Camus that I think is apt for such a horrible situation
We just cannot and must not give up or resign ourselves to hopelessness.
But for now, I'm just going to get drunk and think about that in the morning.
Yep, the country is full of cunts. This country is mean, destructive and heartless.
The only ever other time I'll vote, is if we get a say on Scottish Independence, and I'm voting for independence.
I don't think saying "fuck off" to a Tory troll coming to gloat is comparable to keeping tories in power.
You probably feel good about that civility argument, but there's no symmetry here.
And let's be honest: the reason Tories and Brexiters keep a low profile here is that they couldn't fully articulate their views without getting banned, so they just goad others with these victory laps.
We'll never be free of the fucking Tories.
Fuck every single one of them and the willfully ignorant, easily manipulated sheep that have put them in the position to fuck every single one of us over AGAIN!

This. McCluskey was the one who opposed this.
When May's deal was being rejected numerous times the argument should have been to get another referendum done.
That's why Labour needs someone bullish, Corbyn was too weak for the task unfortunately. This country needs a revolution.
Are you saying that Tory voters aren't pieces of shit?
I mean read the news. They are cunts.
Nah fuck that. Tory voters heard the racist shit that man's spewed and decided yeah, that's the person to lead us. Tory voters are racist fucking scum.
Pollsters know what they're doing.
It's a perfectly reasonable sample for a poll.
I sincerely hope that they're wrong though!
No. If anything, selling off the NHS, a terrible hard Brexit and many more deaths due to austerity would INCREASE the conservative lead.
Just want to say that due to fptp it isn't an endorsement for brexit overall. Which is why tories wanted election not second referendum.
I mean, come on, lets not make this thread into more of a downer.
Last election Corbyn offered ambiguity, this one he said he'd not take a position on the biggest issue of the day. Not much difference.
I've lost count of the numbers of friends and family who are dead as a direct result of austerity. Friends and family who have been deported. Friends and family who are in extreme poverty or homeless. So yes these kind of elections are fucking personal and calling tories cunts is honestly fucking generous.
And by that time climate change will have grown exponentially worse and the inevitable migrant crisises will inspire far-right nationalism to an almost comical extent.
There is literally no fucking hope for the future any more and anyone who says there might be is either too old/comfortable to experience that future or lying to themselves. All we can do right now is just try and enjoy ourselves to the best of our ability before it all inevitably comes falling down.
Of course I won't even be able to do that so, fuck, I don't even know anymore.
I hate to see that Corbyn will quit. He's what got me voting Labour again. I went elsewhere in 2015
The left will break into fighting without a unifying figure. We'll probably have an empty suit like Cooper.
