To wonder labour supporters what you are all going to do on Friday

[thisismeusernameything]

If you wake up and are still under conservative rule?

Not goady, just genuinely interested in how you intend to make life better for yourself and those around you

See, I'm not so sure the Tories will get the blame for the brexit clusterfuck.

Haven't you noticed the rumblings in the right wing press about how those bastards in Brussels are out to punish us by giving us a 'bad deal'?

Since some people still believe the global financial crash 10 years ago was caused by Labour overspending, I reckon they can probably get away with it too.

Besides, if socialists can't have champagne and leavers can't have champagne, only EU-positive Conservatives get to have champagne, which can't be right

Personally i will be praying my employer has got plans for health insurance introduction like they do in the USA, while i wave goodbye to the nhs, then i will pray to keep my job.

interested in how you intend to make life better for yourself and those around you

I won't have to make life better for myself. I'm in the privileged position that my life will be fine either way. We can afford private health insurance, for example, if it came to that. I'm not voting labour because it will make me better off (it most certainly won't).
To make life better for other people, well I guess I'll carry on doing what I'm doing. Regular donations to food banks and to Shelter, volunteering etc.

Obviously I feel sad about the destruction of the NHS and the savage underfunding of our education system, but unless I'm unlucky enough to fall very ill, the NHS problems won't affect me that much, and I no longer have a stake in the education system.

We all, as a community have a stake in education. Unless you are self sufficient on a remote island you have a stake in education.

As for the NHS, again you rely on other people being well from the people who build roads tot he person that delivers your post to the owner of the corner shop.

Oh, no doubt the Tories are already trying to blame Europe for a bad deal (as they already know they'll get one). But I wonder if they'll get away with it this time? I doubt it really. It will depend on how effectively Labour can manage in opposition.

I'll be hoping that people like Decsbetterhalf lose their job in the next five years so they can feel what it's like to be shat on by the Tories too.

They'll maybe less selfish then eh?

Well there will be interesting posts that's for sure

Nothing. I'm fully expecting labour to lose. After the horror of Brexit watching as leavers won and feeling utterly defeated and awful still do. This time I'm preparing for the worst. All I can do is vote tomorrow and hope everyone gets it right this time.

I will be very disappointed but not particularly surprised. All we can do really (as with brexit) is carry on as normal and hope for the best.

Basecamp21 I shall be reading your post again on Friday to try and feel slightly less depressed

I'll drink champagne either way (or Aldi prosecco anyway) because there will be something to celebrate even if it's only that the Tories will destroy themselves pushing through Brexit - yes, we will all suffer as a consequence but at least we can have the satisfaction of them having to see through this catastrophe with no one else to blame.

When did this fashion for insulting the electorate's intelligence start? The referendum? Or the last GE? It feels like a relatively new thing but I can't really remember.

Spitting Image definitely did it in the 80s (but not on social media, obviously, because it hadn't been invented). I think we just see it more.

As for me, I won't wake up on Friday and find myself living under Conservative rule because I'll stay up to watch the results - I can't ever sleep when the results are coming through.

In the cold light of Friday morning I'll remind myself of the 1992 election. Thatcher's third term had been a disaster, there had been the poll tax debacle followed by deep internal divisions in the Conservative party, plus we were in the middle of a recession - but STILL they won. I remember that Friday, feeling like we were doomed to Conservative governments forevermore, there was nothing anyone could do to stop them.

But it didn't pan out that way. So I'll allow myself a short while to feel despondent, and then remind myself it's not forever and get on with whatever campaigning needs to be done to oppose the new Conservative government.

Actually, I just remembered Remainers are gonna get the blame for the catastrophe of Brexit on account of all of our complaining and negative thinking. Fuck it, I'll drink the prosecco anyway.

Labour are too right wing for me...and i'll be doing the same thing regardless who wins...getting the popcorn in and watching Brexit unfold.

I'll also be trying not to panic about the inevitable change in lifestyle that is coming when the exponential growth based economics of the western world runs smack bang into the finite resources of the planet.

I'll just carry on as normal, but as a single mum on £15k a year I'll just pray for no privatized NHS.

Warm or cold, I thought Leavers felt drinking champagne is unpatriotic.

Well, I'm not a Leaver (unless you count my plans to leave the UK for the EU), and I've never felt very patriotic (and never less than now). So fuck it, it's in the fridge. Should be nice and cold by Friday breakfast.

Thanks for your replies everybody.

I have no real reason for asking MrsMeeseeks other than I was just genuinely interested in what people will do on a small scale locally to improve the lives of themselves and those around them.

I know a young woman, just out of university with an upper second class RG degree in a solid subject (law), who will be cancelling her booking in appointment with the midwife, in favour of a termination. Because her parents are catholic, her partner is leaving her and without the security labour will offer her she will not be able to have this child.
She's 10w4d and is exclusively basing her descision on having a termination on her ability to survive after the GE.
I'll be calling her and taking her for coffee and a chat/providing anything to her I can.

Flaming how awful for your friend!! I feel for her I really do! This country will be a bloody scary place with another 5 years of the Tories.

Cry and eat ice cream all day, won't be able to look at gloating Tories on FB for a good while. Give it 24 hours and start on plan B. I already do a lot in my community and feel that I am proactive in being a part of a better society - but how much can any of us fight against this tide of crap?! Can only hope for now....

Bulk buy my fav Chilean red wine while I can still afford it and whilst it's still available in the shops.

Become an MP, rise to power and remove democracy as you humans are clearly not ready for it.

It will be a benevolent dictatorship though. largely....for most people.

Maybe I am being too simplistic but based on a moan I read on FB after the leader's debate of the audience being 'too left wing because pretty much every party apart from Tory and UKIP are to the left - I wàs wondering actually if there are more parties on the left then there are more 'left voters' in general. Whereas the right have just the two options. Very few will vote UKIP which is why Tories will get in... and that maybe society as a whole is actually more progressive than we give it credit for its just that the votes are split between more parties. I hope that makes sense and feel free to call bullshit on my theory - I literally just thought of it.

Friday- I would have just pulled an all nighter watching the results come in with lefty friends. So crying, venting, hugging, and sleeping.

After Friday- immersing myself in local grassroots activism. Doing what I can to make the shit less shit. Donating to organisations that will need the money more than ever in the next five years (and beyond).
