10 days to go

This election is the first encounter that belief has had with reality for some time. It must be really disheartening to have a cherished belief proved so comprehensively wrong.

Are you sure you don't mean the only issue?

So i was sad yesterday wondering if the threads will end once we don't have Tories to entertain us with their lying law breaking ways.
What are we going to call outselves? Are we just going to go 53: Starmer (fingers crossed)?

Welcome to the thread!

i'm loving it already.

Apologies, i did mean that, If i don't think it's the only issue of course i must be a MAN.

I suspect the thread tax rate will be lower. Which is odd because I’m sure the Tories said that Starmer is putting ALL the taxes up.

I was thinking the same yesterday. I really don’t want to lose this community.

Welcome @Alwaystired94.

happy to see so many familiar usernames over here

We might have to invent some corruption to keep it going.

Although there’s going to be a Tory leadership campaign and at least one investigation to look forward too.

Omg I really hope KB goes!

If badenochs in danger of going it might be literal wipeout for the Tories

That would be reason for a bottle of fizz all on its own.

Me too.

Surely we would go to 1: Starmer, and continue our discussions, and frankly hold the new government to account? The only reason we have been so partisan is the utter shitness of the Tories.

The Tory detonation and rebuild should also provide much fodder for discussions. What I live about these threads is that we come from a range of backgrounds and political positions and yet we can have intelligent and respectful discourse. I would hate to lose that.

What pointy said.

meant to post this yesterday and forgot. You can search your constituency and see all the poll results for it.

The Brexit and Trump threads continued, just at a slower pace.

I will welcome less excitement

Thank you for that, it’s very reassuring. Electoral Calculus is a real outlier for my constituency, it sees Reform polling 14% higher than the highest of the other polls. I feel a bit happier now.

I have seen quite a few post on twitter saying that Electoral Calculus seems wrong at the moment.

Oh and I see a familiar poster is recycling her links again

Less than a week now

It's always obvious though, looking at what people are concerned about on that graph. It is what they have been told to worry about, by the party they most side with (possibly unconcious bias). We've been hidden from Brexit and the fact that it has cost the economy 68bn and we have lost 28bn in tax. If you started letting voters know that, Brexit would shoot up to No. 1.

The actual trouble we have as a country is that we have a choice between 2 parties not talking about the important things that they need to be.

That's what is so striking, isn't it? It's like there used to be grown ups and now the toddlers have taken over.

.

And the grown ups in the room are dismissed as weak. The derision about Starmer because he behaves like a civilised human being really illustrates how low standards have sunk.
