Boris is going to have a majority and democracy will not be the same again- in my lifetime, which lets face it can't be that long. The only question in my mind is will there be a creditable opposition in 5 years time, for that to happen there either has to be massive changes to the Labour or they are repalced by a new left of centre Party. I have never been so depressed about the state of politics in UK, during the last 9 years we have had a dreadful government, and he last 4 years easily the worst ever and they are going to be reelected.

I'm not, either.

Doesn't look good thought

Nor will the entire country.

Right wing aquaintance has posted "I can forget my plans to move our money out of the country now." When the economy tanks post Brexit I'll take a little pleasure in quoting that back at him.

He'd get a sh.t exchange rate now, anyway.

Pound has just shot up against the euro.

Do we have to?

Can't we see him torn apart by dogs instead?

I wouldn't want to risk poisoning the dogs.

Presumably this: https://twitter.com/britainelects/statu ... 44032?s=20

However, would it make any difference as they'd presumably split roughly 50-50?

All of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-u-Lyme going Tory. f.ck, it wasn't long ago that every single council seat in S-o-T was Labour. Still, the newly unemployed G Snell In N-u-L can f.ck off.

Of course. The usual thing of error bars going both ways.

I try to console myself with the idea that whatever comes next the Tories and Johnson have to own...

... Except they won't, as about the only thing the electoral campaign (and Trump's election and the Brexit referendum before it) has proven is that shamelessness has no electoral downside.

Brexit could turn even more into a dumpster fire, Ireland could reunify and the NHS handed to Trump wrapped in a bow and all Boris would need to do is take a steaming dump on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, lock the Queen in a fridge and fellate Putin on live television for him to win Workington by a landslide again.
