Election results- long term political impact

[VolcanionSteamArtillery]

Ok so this isnt a celebratory or doom and gloom thread. I was looking at the bbc analysis here, and a few things struck me

Outside of london the UK is now almost totally blue. If the union does break up, where does that leave labour?.

I wasnt surprised by the result (predicted it on here in the weeks before the election was announced) by what did surprise me if you look at the graph on the strong remain constituencies, Brexit Party increased their vote share. How does that work??? Ive heard the theory of the remorseful leave voters, but i havent heard anyone suggest their are remorseful remainers

I don't know but i know that I'm terrified. We are going to leave the EU, possibly without a deal - we had a chance to stop this.

I don't know anyone who voted Tory, although in fairness our Labour MP retained her seat but i just don't understand this result. It's like I've woken up in some dystopian parallel universe

I feel a bit sick. Like it's a weird dream. Was it all Corbyn related? People loathed him so didn't vote for his party? I voted for the party not him but i seem to have been in the minority

The result was totally predictable aslong as you werent gullible enough to believe all the leaver voters had changed their mind. Conservatives had all the leave vote (which was marginally larger anyway) and were going to turn out in numbers in fear of a hung parliment. SUP labour and lib dems split the lower remain.

I think there are people that voted leave that are sick of three years of being told they don't know what they are voting for, that they are thick and racist.
Then there are others that voted remain but are sick of three years of Brexit dominating the political agenda, when there are other far more important things that need addressing.
Until Brexit happens, there will be uncertainty, there have been, in effect now, two votes to leave.
I didn't vote for Labour or conservatives, but I feel strangely optimistic that something good will come of this massive upheaval to British politics, which is what I voted for when I voted leave.

It was obvious that the Leave voters would only ever vote for Tory or the Brexit Party.

That’s why the Brexit party stood down from many Tory areas so that the leave vote had somewhere to go.

This was a brexit election - that’s all the Tories ever bang on about.

Brexit won’t be “done” any time soon.

I had voted Labour all my life, but my MP had been in the seat for 16 years, I have seen my town deteriorate and become a ghost town. She skirted important issues and tried to dictate to her leave majority constituency that they were wrong and she knew best.
I couldn't have voted tory, so I voted nationalist.

I couldn't have voted tory, so I voted nationalist.
See actually that's the nuance thats really interesting about this result. Is an snp vote actually a vote of independence this time or a not tory vote. Labour always used to be big in Scotland until the SNP arrived, can labour ever win very easily now if the SNP taking such a large labour vote share. It would take a seismic shift to win England if Scotland and nothern island wre excluded

I'm actually Welsh and voted for the candidate whose values matched my own.

Ah yes of course!

Yes, we are usually forgotten
