It is only the Tories who can properly look after the less well off because they manage the country properly

I can't tell you how angry the stupidity and ignorance of this sentence makes me.

Exit Polls

They always use the same polling stations so if you don't see one election you won't see in another unless there is a drastic change. We are an exit poll polling station, they ask every 4th person to replicate their vote, secretly again and drop into a box. I wasn't asked this time but the person I was with was, I was asked in the 17 election

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 12/12/2019 22:43

Glad I never bothered voting.

EngTech · 12/12/2019 22:43

Rats, I was so looking forward to working a 4 day week, paid for 5 plus free broadband 😳🦄

Now the arguments starts about needing another GE as the final result is wrong

The people have voted in a democratic way, again 👍

If the numbers are correct, so be it, it is called democracy 👍👍

The stubby pencil and an X in a box does work 👍

I'm just trying to see the good in it and if the pound surges to pre-2008 rates then I will be very happy indeed.

Elzbells · 12/12/2019 22:45

I would have voted labour but half my family are Jewish so how can I vote that man in?

I went with Liberal Democrat's because the tories have been a shitshow all the years they have been in and how can I in all honestly vote for them to decimate the country further.

I'm from a very long line of Tory voters FYI.

notmuchtooffer · 12/12/2019 22:46

now go on and thrive knowing the best party probably won......

What like we have for the last 10 years?

I voted Lib Dem (in a Labour safe seat so could afford to) and wanted a hung parliament with the opposition parties able to mount a lot of opposition basically. Now the far right wing of the Tory party which is already on the front benches is going to be strengthened and able to act with impunity. Frightening. There won’t be many moderate Tory MPs.

My staunch Labour relative is blaming the media but I agree that the Labour Party will now have to radically re think its approach.

What will happen to us in the meantime?

Larry Gah I’m too upset to do my research! But it’s not the 70s anymore and austerity got us fucking nowhere you need to spend to grow - labour had a fully costed manifesto that would not have bankrupted us and would have made positive change but now I’m just to mad to be articulate and should probably just leave this thread now 😑

slothgirl00 · 12/12/2019 22:47

Looking with apprehension and fear at how people with long term conditions cope now the NHS has been sold. I hope there’s no Tory diabetics for instance (if there is I curse them - my poor ddad will be unable to get insulin once the NHS is decimated...)

wondering7777 · 12/12/2019 22:47

I can’t believe it! Totally shocked (and not in a good way)

Unusualsuspicion · 12/12/2019 22:47

"it highlights how out of touch you are more than anything else"
I don't care whether I'm in or out of touch, and I certainly live in a bubble. I think working people voting for more of the same after 9 years of catastrophic Tory rule is indeed fucking stupid. Just because people have voted a certain way doesn't actually mean I have to agree it was the right choice Hmm

Ofthread · 12/12/2019 22:48

Lot of 'thank goodness' smug scum on this thread.

YouSawThePlans · 12/12/2019 22:50

The thing is if you 'couldn't vote for Corbyn' but are happy with Boris then you're happy with a racist, homophobic, bigot as leader. You're hardly in a position to preach to other parties about the attributes a leader needs.

And that's what makes this so disheartening because under all the nonsense - lots of people are saying they're fine with a racist, homophobic bigot who treats the electorate with contempt as long as they don't need to pay more tax. Well done.

And hopefully the Labour wing that campaigned hard for the party to ignore the referendum result will finally take responsibility for what they've achieved. They ignored their voters so their voters ignored them.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 12/12/2019 22:50

The only good outcome is that at least it won't be shared power situation with the DUP again.

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/12/2019 22:51

Awful. I was hoping for a hung parliament 😢

Carrotcakeforbreakfast · 12/12/2019 22:51

theduchessstill

Yeah if you were already torn I can see how it could happen.
All day on social media " if you're voting for Tories in a school you might as well shit on a childs desk too" etc
Fucking embarrassing and hysterical.

I work for the public service too and knew of only two who were voting labour and ALL day jumping down peoples throats.

ThunderR0ad78 · 12/12/2019 22:52

I really hope not!

Carrotcakeforbreakfast · 12/12/2019 22:53

I think essentially people voted not for Boris, they voted for JC to listen to what the majority ( a HUGE majority) were saying which is basically Fuck Off Corbyn and Co.

Thestinkycheeseman · 12/12/2019 22:53

See the calls of scum have appeared 🙄

DerektheWonderdog · 12/12/2019 22:53

Shit, fuck, bollocks.

Quartz2208 · 12/12/2019 22:54

I think the difference is between Corbyn and Johnson for me is that I believe (and watching Alan Johnson and Ed Balls they do to) is that this should make the Labour Party take a deep breath realise that with the tories taking ownership of Brexit they can regroup (as they did after the Thatcher years) and hopefully become the party of my children (like they did for me). They can make change
The Tories would just replace Boris with more of the same. Hopefully they can take the full horrific effects of brexit and allow the others to move on

Rosepetals30 · 12/12/2019 22:55

How the fuck could ANYONE think this was a good result?

How?

I have a disabled child

What kind of future does she have now? Fuck all.

Skyejuly · 12/12/2019 22:56

Shocking.
