Reform came second in more than 100 seats . If that is unclear message for some- good luck in 2029! The issues raised by Reform voters have to be addressed. Your nonsense about Reform demographics is mind blowing. It's much diverse than you think.

I actually know quite a few immigrants who want to restrict immigration. They're obviously not anti-immigration per se but they understand that just allowing vast numbers in that will overwhelm services isn't great for the immigrants already here. In fact, in many cases it will affect them far more than the people sanctimoniously saying Reform are all racists.

Liz Truss has lost her seat! Brilliant!

Ooh, lovely, gloat gloat gloat,

ToWhitToWhoo · 05/07/2024 13:00

My LibDem MP increased her majority. More surprisingly, the SUPER safe Tory seat next door to mine, Witney, went LibDem. Yes, that's Cameron's successor as MP losing his seat!

ToWhitToWhoo · 05/07/2024 13:10

And 4 Reform MPs is 4 too many, but SO much better than the 13 that were predicted.

Zoomers love Reform too, as they do right wing parties in the EU. Their brainwashed leftist parents don't stand a chance.

Did Leicester East get its boundaries redrawn? Mid Beds went back to the Tories - it lost nearly all its urban , young population in redrawing of boundaries. Hitchin went Red after gaining one of those towns and Dunstable Labour after becoming a constituency.

The Jonathan Ashworth vote is Palestine related, I'd guess.

No but the old labour candidate got kicked out of labour party and stood as ind. and Keith vaz who was labour candidate in the past also stood for a local party so think the labour vote ended up being split 3 ways

Parkingt111 · 05/07/2024 08:35

Yes, I have friends in Leicester who voted for the independent MP who won. They said he had very high support in the community and Jon lost a huge amount after he abstained from the Gaza ceasefire vote. Exit polls showed it was likely to be Labour still but the independent won by around a thousand votes.

Jon ashworth was Leicester south which went ton independents. Leicester east went from safe labour to conservative

Parkingt111 · 05/07/2024 14:33

@morph22010 Yes, leicester south has been a labour stronghold since 1987, it very briefly went to Lib dems in the middle but majority has been held by labour over the years. Even the exit polls last night indicated it would remain a safe labour seat, so the result has been a shock victory.

Leicester East had the vote split too many ways between labour and independent candidates, causing a win for the Conservative candidate.

I would imagine they probably sleep better than all the racist (anti-Semitic) Labour voters. How can anyone who votes for Labour call other party supporters racist? Gaslighting at its finest.

Well said, absolute hypocrites

GreenFritillary · 05/07/2024 19:55

Safe Labour seat, and he's not bad. Green candidate only interested in stopping the war in Gaza - fair enough, but what about net zero?
I voted Green but wrote on the back 'Respect Women's Spaces' so the odds are it won't be counted.

Had to go after work at 8pm. X

My husband voted labour, he’s Jewish and married to a brown man. I’m yet to hear a labour candidate calling anyone a p**i.

Reform

All the people on here saying all reform voters are racist are saying they think all the BAME people voting for reform are racist. Which is a little bit, well, racist, to say you know better the motivations of a BAME person than they do? Reform had quite a few BAME candidates.

Unfortunately this attitude seems prevalent in Labour. Reform are said to have got 14% of the vote, a greater vote share than the Lib Dems. Labour have a duty to understand and represent those voters now they're in power.

I saw more Tories saying Reform are racist.

I'm guessing because they were scared of the split vote.

I wouldn't vote for them myself as I'm slightly left of centre, but I'm glad they have helped to get the Tories out.

Laylay100 · 05/07/2024 22:34

Horrified with the amount of reform voters. Scary times.

Paul2023 · 05/07/2024 23:11

Interesting point- Labour actually got less votes than they did under Corbyn in 2019.
About a million votes less or just under. Yet won the GE with a landslide, due to the voting system.

Flyhigher · 06/07/2024 02:45

Why did reform voters vote for reform?

Which policy attracted you?

Brexit offered a better nhs and less immigration and it's done neither.

So why reform now?

Netcam · 05/07/2024 07:04

Just woke up. So happy. Even the Tory stronghold where I've lived for 20 years has been wiped out. Good riddance Anthony Browne.

Which area?

Reform and Lib Dem's split the Tory vote.

Not the voting system.

Right wing tories went more right wing.

Centrist tories went Lib Dem.

And lots of tactical voting by labour supporters.

People wanted tories out.

I voted Reform

Why?

Paul2023 · 06/07/2024 07:46

Flyhigher · 06/07/2024 03:15

Why?

Probably to make a better opposition.

Which area?

It's a new constituency. What was South Cambs has now been split and we are now in St Neots and Mid Cambs. But the Tory MP for South Cambs was the candidate for St Neots and Mid Cambs. The new South Cambs also ended up Lib Dem, like us. I voted Labour, but I'm still astounded and delighted that a Tory stronghold like this is no longer. Cambridge city is Labour and was before, but most of us normal people can't afford to live in the city centre!
