Labour win

[saoirse31]

Congratulations to you all in uk, brilliant to see labour win. Commiserations tho to snp. But Tories defeated!!!

😂😂😂

Delighted to see both the Tories and SNP take a well deserved kicking.

thats what i was puzzled with, we need the nwo to alter the results

Congrats to he UK from the US!

I do agree a bit, lots of people just wanted the Tories out rather than being overly impressed with Labour and feeling passionate about voting for them. Although the end result is the same as in they'll have a majority and KS will be PM, I don't think they've done as well as they could have given the silver platter of the Torys destroying themselves that they were handed.

Thank you! And good luck in November, you will need it!

Thank you And good luck to you in November.

I have never had a cross post almost word for word before 🫣.

You've have accurately described how I feel.

Don't rate their chances in Clacton!

The FPTP system is once again shown to be a farce, though. As it currently stands, Reform has had more votes than Lib Dems, but the latter have more than 10x the seats in parliament at 46 compared to Reform's 4. Greens have had more votes than most parties, more than half of Lib Dems, yet only managed to get one seat. Labour's majority isn't even that impressive when you compare actual votes.

That doesn't sit right by me.

Ditto

I didn't vote but good sunak is gone

Yes, it’s worrying. I know the count is not finished, but this graph from the BBC website is quite telling…it’s very clear that Labour haven’t won - their vote has barely changed in % terms, but the Tory’s have lost big time, and Reform have made huge progress. Even the Lib Dem’s, who have far more seats, don’t really have many more votes. The Greens have done well though!

Fewer than half the people eligible to vote in my area did.

It's shocking, really, how disaffected and disinterested people are.

I know it has resulted in a handful of seats (which constitutes a breakthrough) but, given the Reform hype, it's surprising to see their vote share being just ~2% better than peak UKIP.

I think turnout was even less than 2019, I think I saw 60% being bandied about

Hardly surprising, though, is it?

Turkeys voting for Christmas

No commiserations for the SNP here!! So glad to see they got their corrupt, lying backsides kicked! Couldn’t be happier!

Really pleased with the result. Sad to see Farage got in, his smiley face made me laugh tho I think in his head he was saying ‘you muppets just voted in a racist, misogynistic bigot I really can’t believe it’
shame such a low turnout but Conservatives have got a kicking and need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Great result! My county has gone totally red!

Hate NF but I do think he should be an MP as he is such a big political voice - he can put his money where his mouth is now.

Me too. Our conservative mp has kept his seat. He has been out mp since 1987

Bagwyllydiart so true, there is no real democracy!
