As much as I despise them, especially Sam Gyimah who completely ratfucked Emma Dent Coad in Kensington, we'll regrettably need them to hold onto their handful of affluent seats to eventually get a hung parliament.
This reaction to the exit poll is the rare shining light of the otherwise horrifying landscape that was last nightVINEGAR STROKES!
To pick a kernel of sweetcorn from this turd of a result, the majority of the country voted pro-remain/PV, and the Tory vote share was only 1% higher.
I will continue to wish every possibly tropical disease on anyone who voted Johnson because they ‘couldn’t bear to vote for Corbyn’, and I so dearly want to pop round to Darren Grimes’ house and kick him repeatedly in the spine.
IT WAS RELEVANT TO THE CONVERSATION
I can imagine the idea of an election without Scotland would be a nightmare for Starmer's chances of electoral victory, but my dad's Scottish so NOT MY PROBLEM.
The fascinating thing this, we wouldn't leave instantly, so that 2024 general would include Scottish seats too, so the SNP could be in a position of propping up the government whilst also negotiating to leave the UK. If they didn't like things, they could bring it down! It could be amazingly batshit insaneThe math seems IMPOSSIBLE without Scotland

Yes, maybe. There is a legal theory that the Scottish Parliament is the same parliament that enacted the Act of Union with England in 1707, and so would have the sole authority to repeal it. It is thought of as unlikely but not impossible that the supreme court would rule this way, but is the most common backup option I've seen talked about if the UK government doesn't allow a referendum like last time@WeihnachZenGiraffe is there any way that the SNP can get Indyref2 through under the current government though? Surely Boris and co can block it with their insane majority?
I SUPPOSE it could turn out like Catalonia then?Yes, maybe.

Well no. A sovereign decision by a sovereign Scottish parliament wouldn't be illegal, nor seen as such by international law. And with the UK breaking international law anyway, the international community wouldn't be rushing to take the UKs sideI SUPPOSE it could turn out like Catalonia then?
Oh GOOD! Let’s just hope the GUNSHIPS aren’t sent up from the Channel and onto the Clyde.Well no.

Hate this country so much right now. Full of absolute thick selfish cunts who deserve everything they get. I would still vote Labour but holding my nose.
I'm not touching Labour.
Labour have shown horrible disregard for trans rights for one thing. I can fully understand any reluctance to vote for them when "SIR KEIR" won't take steps to wipe out the growing TERF-ist strain of the party, which is in danger of becoming a bigger problem than the anti-semitism stuff was/is if unchecked.Holding your nose? Why? Because voting for something that represents a compromise and could possibly be the start of a shift to the left is such a problem?
.What constituency do you live in (if you don't mind of course)?
Keir Starmer? The start of a shift to the left? You fucking WHAT? :emoji_skull:Holding your nose? Why? Because voting for something that represents a compromise and could possibly be the start of a shift to the left is such a problem?
