Ulysses Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Shocked you'd suggest such a thing about those who want silent collections in church! Oh, they have much business with us and they make so much money from it. 643 seats will be occupied (no Sinn F?in MPs present). Tories will have 318 according to the estimates, with Labour on 262. Labour can't form a government. The Tories can, IMO, with some level of acquiescence from the DUP. All we need to work out now is who will be the PM.

SwindonJambo Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Rudd could be the next Tory leader. And I think she will be. Far preferable to Boris. Not that I''ll ever vote Tory but I'm kind of glad she's available for selection. None of the other possibilities are very palatable at all! The DUP will be licking their lips and gleefully writing their shopping lists as we speak. What a fascinating mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 43 years ago Ted Heath called an early election on a "who governs Britain?" agenda in an attempt to take advantage of dislike of militant trade unionists. The electorate responded with the answer "not you" and he lost his majority. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it ... and so on.

Francis Albert Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Top 5 are on the front screen. Plus they should change the winning post as the Shinners don't count. But when the outcome is forecast as it is the composition of the 18 "others" in the forecast outcome is pretty significant (in fact crucial) . And still the BBC forecast outcome doesn't show that breakdown. Once I was redirected to the Independent page, that significance was brought home within minutes.

John Gentleman Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Coin toss to decide North East Fife? It's an odd one. At the last election the SNP and Libdems (between them) got 72% of the vote. The Tories were a long way behind at 16%. If the SNP were to spill a large number of votes, logic would suggest the Libdems would be the major beneficiaries. But we live in interesting times.....

hughesie27 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Think the SNP are going to gradually get chipped away over the next 2 or 3 elections. Scotland isn't big enough to support 2 left field parties and if we want to get rid of the Tories then Labour seats in Scotland are the only thing that can fight that.
