bee Posted December 13, 2019 Author #831 Share Posted December 13, 2019 At the moment it looks like the British public are generally supporting Brexit (although reports are saying SNP expected to do well in Scotland) Rejecting a 2nd referendum Moving away from Remaining I would love to be a fly on the wall where ever Tony Blair and his little coterie are... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee Posted December 13, 2019 Author #832 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Lab Hold in Hartlepool...... but combined Con and Brexit Party was Leave Majority... This is an example of the split vote that was feared and that Farage kept to a minimum by pulling vast numbers of BP candidates out... Brexit Party Chairman Richard Tice did well and it's a shame he didn't win but there you go... Hopefully he will continue in the new 'Reform Party' if that gets off the ground.. edit... getting tired again now so Good Night All...

Space Commander Travis Posted December 13, 2019 #834 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) The Guardian is blaming Putin? Say it isn't so. #BlamePutin Anyway, so does this significantly increase the chances of a Brexit? That, after all, was what this was all about almost entirely. #BrexRef2 Edited December 13, 2019 by Dumbledore the Awesome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted December 13, 2019 #835 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) I also wonder if it wasn't a protest against the Extinction Rebellion nutjobs, who were on the whole, probably not pro-Conservative, and all this" abandon the use of fossil fuels by 2030!" hysteria. . Perhaps it was also a referendum on the people's opinion of Saint Greta. Edited December 13, 2019 by Dumbledore the Awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted December 13, 2019 #836 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I am SO pleased with this result. It appears that Boris now has a parliamentary majority of 70+ seats (two constituencies have yet to declare). Brexit here we come Wasn't it interesting though ? The two big anti-Brexit parties lost seats (Labour and the Lib Dems), and the ONLY pro-Brexit party (the conservatives) made huge gains. It was like @stevewinn posted earlier; this was - effectively - the "Second Referendum" on Brexit. And the final one. I'm so happeeeee... I'm so happeeee... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it was also a referendum on the people's opinion of Saint Greta. you could be right there.... and the Public are not impressed with the Middle Class Intelligentsia and their children preaching and causing trouble ... even though it looks like they are having fun and enjoying themselves on the streets, feeling all superior while at the same time being scared half to death about the end of the world being nigh... I would expect the Extinction Rebellion families to be a mixture of Labour, Lib Dem and Green... voters and your average Joe Public would not want them to have power.... and of course supporting Brexit was paramount - and Corbyn thought he could just sit on the fence with it....... but turns out he couldn't at the end of the day.... oh and just want to say that re the Extinction Rebellion basically wanting to get rid of cars ... or at least make them all go electric...... one of the aspects of the 5G 'roll out' is that when in place I'm guessing it would be aiming to get rid of privately owned cars......... and that's what the Driverless Cars thing is all about... but people love their cars and the independence to go where they want, when they want.... so the 5G promoters will not be filling 'little' details like that in until it's all in place..and too late to oppose.. but I digress.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee Posted December 13, 2019 Author #838 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) You have to say that Boris played a blinder and I was pleased that he spoke about previous Labour supporters 'loaning' him their vote and he was humbled that they had put their trust in him - because he gambled that he could do it without making an alliance with the Brexit Party (which I was disappointed about).... and Leavers went with Conservatives, on the whole, rather than risk loosing Brexit ...... apparently Labour voters switching in this election because of Brexit.... were saying they were voting for BORIS..... rather than voting for the Conservative Party... I think his kind of messy haired, bumbling eccentric image has meant that Labour voters could stomach voting Tory..... the British rather like eccentricity... they couldn't do it for Theresa May but they could do it for Boris...

bee Posted December 13, 2019 Author #841 Share Posted December 13, 2019 soooooo Jo Swinson, LibDem leader lost her seat to the SNP.... And DUP Deputy Leader lost his seat in North Belfast to Sinn Fein... Nicola Sturgeon (SNP Leader) is going to be insufferable for the foreseeable future... she is just obsessed with getting Scotland out of the UK and is in complete denial about what being a member of the EU is.... she is kidding herself that nations who are in the EU are independent... I think she is now so blinkered about it she will just push and push... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was asked this question on the PM program a few days ago... and the 'ummed' and "ahh'd" and basically fudged give any real answer.

Did you notice the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats failed to do Brexit project fear? Did you notice Bercow close to tears on Sky News? I thought he would blubber, but he managed to just keep it together lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud the mackem Posted December 13, 2019 #847 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The Losers (Lab/Lib-Dem), on BBC (the Traitor T.V.) are now saying that this election will be doom and gloom for the working classes , WHY are they saying this , we now have democracy back on course which must be very annoying to these remainers , who wanted to live under the E.U. fascist regime .

spartan max2 Posted December 13, 2019 #849 Share Posted December 13, 2019 So Con got 364 seats. From what I gather you need 325 for a majority. So Cons have 39 seats worth if wiggle room for trying to pass Brexit? Is it assumed that every other party is in the remainder group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that you think that the Labour supporters who wanted to leave were stupid and changed their vote from labour to tory as in T.Blair's area where he won by over 25k and the vote is now over a 4k Con majority . Stop whinging and face the facts mate . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
