Boris Johnson and Tories predicted to win 86-seat majority in exit poll

So...look forward a quick Brexit and a great trade deal between Trump and Johnson.

This election was all about Brexit. And Corbyn, and Labour, tried to turn it into something else. Idiocy. 52% of the constituency voted for Brexit and have been denied for years.

What did Labour expect? When they offer no clear, concise message on how to get Brexit done, they were destined to lose. Manufacturing a majority out of a minority is a fool's errand.
 
Nonsense.

Scotland will vote on independence, and with gains in the Scottish party, I expect the move toward independence to be emboldened.

N Ireland is a different question.
 
The liberal dream of a one-world order is dying on the vine. This is wonderful news. Better yet, this was a shellacking of the highest order. This was truly a landslide.

The media has finally, and fantastically, lost their control of the message.

This clearly signifies that Trump is headed for a relative landslide himself. Hence, why these desperate impeachment attempts are so non-stop.

The silent majority is winning in both America and England. The left has gone mad, and sensible people are finally gathering their forces and tamping it down.
 
Yes. The racists are taking over temporarily. But I feel that will end with the passing of the older generation. But the older generation will cause much damage in their hatred and anger before they pass.

Hmm, maybe this whole calling everyone who disagrees with you a racist thing doesn't help win elections.

Naaaah, that couldn't be it.
 
I beg to differ.... African-American support for Trump has doubled since the 2016 election, so I'd say it's a very effective and sound political strategy.

.
That actually proves that the race card isn't working anymore. Everyone, including black Americans, see through that tired tactic now.

Yes, I read that black men in America now support Trump at about 30+ percent. That is an astounding number, and it just makes me so happy to see.

And I don't even really like Trump. But I do like a lot of what he's doing and the way the country going right now. I can get behind that.

I pray for a day that white and black Americans aren't divided politically, and that seems to be slowly coming to fruition. I think that mostly explains the panic and desperation in these Democrat impeachment attempts.

I believe the only thing that divides white and black America today is the racial wedge Democrats have built and rely on. We get along famously in our day to day lives, only to see on TV that apparently we all hate each other. That's the ugly ploy of liberalism, and it may be crashing down.
 
A decent man was relentlessly smeared as an anti-Semite. And for some, (not the Trump base) the idea of voting for a bigot is repulsive.

I would have thanked you twice if it were possible. Another poster " Moving Pictures" ? had Corbyn down as a " bigot " too................ the world is upside down and the ignorant are cheering loudly with excitement
 
I've given up on the British people ( people generally ) . Having voted in their very own Trump clone they can suffer the consequences that are sure to follow.

You see I am in a pretty good position financially speaking and have always thought more of the vulnerable people might suffer under such a person/government. But the gloves are off now with the election of this racist arrogant ignorant fvcktard and I will remind them with glee whenever they bemoan their treatment at the hands of these sociopathic self serving scumbags. The screw turns will hurt them long before they hit me and mine.

Oops... forgot to add the "sarcasm" tag

That makes 2 of us.

And I don't even really like Trump. But I do like a lot of what he's doing and the way the country going right now. I can get behind that.

Again, that makes 2 of us. I didn't support him and didn't vote for him, but I can't complain about how well the country is doing under his presidency.

I agree totally. The left and their ever loyal media are 100% responsible for reversing the several decades of steady improvement in race relations we witnessed in the country, and pitting people against each other by labeling anyone who disagreed with their political views as a "racist".

I think we're starting to turn a corner as more and more American are finally seeing the whole race-card thing for what it really is... a politically motivated farce.

To be fair to Jeremy Corbyn, I have not seen him engage in actual outright antisemitism. He just jumps on grenades for people who are out-and-proud antisemites. So long as they attack Israel, they must being doing it for anti-Zionist reasons and should not be considered Jew-hating bigots. In that regard, he is not unlike Ken Livingstone or the lovely folks at Mondoweiss.

Oh no! The horror! The shame! Oneworld2 has given up on us. Will we Brits ever get over being condemned by this oaf?

It's Lady Tonge The Liberal Democrats put her into the House of Lords but soon after threw her out of their party when she got to anti-semitic even for them.

Nope, I will just enjoy laughing at your crying and moaning when these scumbags start to do a number on you all

BTW I have seen nothing in your posts to indicate you have anywhere near enough of a capacity for introspection to feel shamed and you were always a lost cause in any moral sense

This type of gutless demagoguery is a big reason why Trump won and Labour lost.

Besides, the race card didn't help Labour gain a majority so what makes you think it will help them regain power?

BoJo is more a 90's style clinton democrat than a republican from the US, which is why comparing this and the democratic primary is a balloon full of stupidifying hot air.

The corporate media here has dutifully obliged it's corporate owners with a smear campaign against Corbyn in particular and Labour generally along racist antisemitic lines so as to prevent any chance of the party under his tenure and the genuine change in direction it might offer and THAT is why you are unable to see his alleged " antisemitism ". People are not allowed to talk openly and honestly about Israeli state policies and actions or history involving Jewish people precisely because of the misuse of the smear and you seem wholly comfortable with that level of censorship.

Before you too jump on the witchhunt bandwagon that is doing it's tour globally everyday regarding the blanket use of false charges of racism in ordewr to censor out legitimate criticisms of the state of Israel you might want to actually read the criticisms of it itself. Even the guy who wrote the controversial IHRA definition of " antisemitism " has said it is being misused

There's a new book out you won't want to read either but at least if I give you the link you cannot claim you have never heard of it

Bad News for Labour

Please reread what I wrote, oneworld2. I did not call Corbyn an anti-Semite. I said he went to bat for anti-Semites, out of his personal animus for Israel and this is indisputable. In that manner, he is indistinguishable from Ken Livingstone or the writers at Mondoweiss; not personally antisemitic, just functionally so.

Corbyn himself is almost irrelevant to Tonge's overtly anti-Semitic tweet.
 
Completely the wrong take away and an obvious attempt to twist the narrative in a manner convenient to your personal politics: it's far less about the generalities of Corbyn's soc-dem politics and far more about Brexit (and a generous side of smearing him as an anti-semite). Corbyn tried to placate both Brexiteers and Remainers with a position on Brexit so compromised, half-way and muddled that it satisfied neither (his stance on a referendum being the one major bone held out for the latter camp), which was obviously a recipe for a disaster with Brexit domineering UK politics to the exclusion of virtually all else; with respect to this, not his domestic policy prescriptions on healthcare or education (which were popular), he certainly deserves blame.

Look at what actually happened in the election, which areas went blue (like the famed Red Wall), and why, and it becomes painfully obvious.

In all honesty, the fall of the Dem Blue Wall/rust belt over concerns of economic insecurity is not too dissimilar to the fall of the Labour Red Wall over Brexit in that both had their political outcomes largely pivot on things the center is loathe to acknowledge as responsible.

Guess who Jeremy Corbyn got his campaign ideas from? Bernie Sanders.

How'd that and his democratic socialism platform work out for Corbyn?
