General election

[ILB]

Just wondering who you voted for!

Personally I don't bother myself.

[Roch]

I voted Green as they have a decent foothold already, within our Labour local authority.  Labour lost loads of seats in the local elections because of a long-standing bin strike (accusations of bullying).

I am politically homeless. My politics spans both left and right.

REFORM, I know they had no chance of winning,  but, i'm fed up with the Mainstream Parties taking us for Granted, i didn't want to waste my vote by not Voting, but there is a lot more in my constituancy who  thought the same as me by looking at the results from last night.

That describes exactly where I stand..................but I'm excited to see where we're going now.

Family was literally split down the middle growing up.

Maternal side of family were staunch labour.  My sister ended up working for Tony Benn in the 1980s and were close. (Professionally of course) Some of my uncles were miners.

Paternal side well paternal grandfather to be exact was a staunch Thatcherite. Though I suspect this was purely for business reasons in the 1980s.

Myself I'm largely apolitical. Although I have in the past voted for labour. But I think that's largerly due to the influence of others if I'm perfectly honest. Politics is an area that doesn't fill me with excitement.

I can see REFORM growing substantially in the coming years

Perhaps it's because I have no particular political alliance that, on a human level, I've felt sorry for most of the outgoing PMs, regardless of party.

 I almost felt sorry for Liz Truss, but that would have been stretching empathy a step too far!!

Nigel Farage vows 'we're coming for Labour' after becoming an MP at eighth time of asking as Reform gains four seats in Westminster but receives more than four million votes (more than the Lib Dems who secured 71)

I think the Greens did really well Roch,  Labour has got this vast Majority with only a third of the Public Vote?

Sir Keir Starmer was this morning basking in a massive general election win following a brutal night for Rishi Sunak's Tories - but Labour's victory is being dubbed a 'loveless landslide' and a 'super meh-jority'.

With nearly all constituencies having declared their results, Labour were found to have won barely one in three votes across the UK.

Polling experts highlighted how Labour's vote share of 33.8 per cent is likely to be less than any of Sir Tony Blair's general election victories in 1997, 2001 or 2005.

It is even less than the 40 per cent vote share hard-left Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn secured in 2017 and lower than the 36.1 per cent David Cameron got for the Conservatives in 2010 when that year's election ended in a hung parliament.

I think Labour lost a lot of votes from the people who empathised with the left of the party HB. People who are suspicious of the underhand machinations used by the right of the party, to wrestle back control. Therefore the labour vote will be down.  I only voted Green as I could not bring myself to vote for any others. We have independents who are good at moaning about the labour council - but that's all they seem to do. I couldn't ally my self with Reform unfortunately. They did interest me. They came second in my home town.

Yes i agree, the Left are true Corbanites and would still like him back in the fold?  I think Farage will align his party from the more Radical and merge it with the Tory right,  i have to be honest and i am not ashamed to say it,  but the Immigration crisis worries me more than anything in terms of security for our Country and housing and benefits payments and i do fear for my kids and Grandchildren.  We have had 15 years of promises and it's just got worse, if Labour do make a better job of it, i will align myself back to Labour.

Illegal immigration levels are ridiculous HB. Needs to be stemmed. I would have the SAS take out the people smugglers. Start putting targets on their backs. I work with young asylum seekers and I do my best for them and I also like them. However, one must look at both sides of the coin. It is unsustainable in terms of infrastructure, economics etc. There must be about 30 foreign barber shops in the borough. There's a rat away somewhere.
