So it’s election day.
Is anyone subscribed to this thread actually British?
Are you going to vote?
If so, are you at liberty to say who?

Liberty Belle - Sings the song of the unchained

The Conservatives are a bunch of trust fund fuckwits that have totally fucked us for personal profit.
Reform is a bunch of moronic little Brittoners who’s manifesto is fiscally illiterate and deluded
The Greens have the best economic policy that will never see the light of day because it’s buried under a bunch of woke Twitter nonsense and utterly divorced from reality hippy bullshit that will mean no one will ever vote for them.
The LibDems as always have a decent manifesto but no one will vote for them because they abandon their policies to choak on the cock of actual power at the first opportunity.
Then we have labour who are running as Tory lite, where everything will continue to be as shit as it is now but with less retards at the helm.

To no one’s surprise, Labour won by a landslide.
Here are the most recent results I could find in a quick google search:
  • Labour: 409
  • Conservatives: 119
  • Lib Dems: 70
  • Others: 10
  • SNP: 8
  • Sinn Fein: 7
  • Green: 4
  • Plaid Cymru: 4
  • Reform UK: 4
  • DUP: 4
  • Not yet declared: 11

The takeaways:
  • Labour won by a landslide, not because they were any good but because the alternatives just sucked that badly
  • The Conservatives took a beating, but not as badly as people hoped they would; they will probably survive this.
  • The Liberal Democrats did okay, I guess, but nobody really cares about them
  • The SNP has collapsed, which helped Labour win
  • Despite all the hype, Reform has failed to perform. Farage has finally won a seat, sure, but his entourage will be tiny. Even if all of the undeclared seats went to Reform, they wouldn’t be anywhere close to the big three.

Reform isn’t this elections problem, their goal was just to legitimise themselves, it’s next election. If Starmer can’t pull the economy out of the nosedive the Torys put it into your gonna see a lot more angry gammons voting for Comrade Farage’s totally not Russian party.
If Starmer is able to bring down the energy bills Reform will vanish up its own arse double quick.
