I don't think the Tories will do nearly as badly as predicted?

[Kendodd]

What do you think?

There's already a thread on this

I think they hope that they will be able to say it's not the wipe out they feared

What do we think? That this has already been discussed a LOT!

Yes, they will do as badly as predicted.
They may not even be the Party who forms the Opposition.

I am voting tory, not because I want them but because one party having a supermajority would be even worse

I think the Tory bots and supporters are smearing themselves like lubricant all over MN is what I think. You will not have my ass, no matter how much lube you’re smothering us in.

That makes less than no sense 😂

🤣🤣 well said

I am worried they won’t do as badly as they deserve. I was so shocked the uk voted for Brexit and the us for trump that I don’t dare to hope anymore.

There is no such thing as a supermajority in the UK. Just a majority.

Funny how no one has ever used the term here in the UK until the past couple of weeks. But the tactic is working on some, it seems.

My ideal result would be Labour with a working majority but not huge one.

I'd read the OP the other way. I'd say it was more labour bottish than tory bottish - ie the message is "you need to vote labour as tories will have more votes than you think"

either way. the op isn't a bot. report if you think she is

That is nonsensical.

Whatever you call it, the size of the government majority is important.

A very big majority means government backbenchers have almost no power to influence policy and ministers can act as unchecked dictators. That's a big issue. It's not just the opposition who hold ministers to account.

People may be gleeful at the prospect of a supermajority, but it wouldn't be good for democracy.

Do you mean OP, they aren't a bot, that username has been on here years

Yes, I recognise it.

You're disgusting

That would be great to see the LibDems or a LibDem/Green coalition for the official opposition.
Won't happen though. I reckon the Tories will win at least 200+ seats and Reform zero seats.

From bot training workshop?

I think that Reform will win quite a lot of seats, taking them from the Tories.

I hope we don't end up with a Tory/Reform coalition.

I mean as the Opposition.

Labour will win.

How to tell us that you don't understand the UK parliamentary system without actually saying it!

Looks like Rishi's little soundbite is achieving exactly what he had hoped.

OP, I agree that the Tories will do better than expected. I think a lot of them are talking down their chances so that they can come out on Friday and claim that it was much better than expected.

This is really illogical!

I predict about 130 seats for the Tories.

Nonsense.

🤣

@kitsuneghost There is no such thing as a "supermajority" in British politics - despite what Tory social media tries to make out.
