The 2019 General Election

[Don Troooomp]

Back to the election, and I will be proven correct when he final results come in.

Best I can see of what's been said so far, it's going to be massively expensive, and the tories are going to land on top of that like a ton of bricks. Yes, Britain needs a lot of affordable housing, but can the target be reached and, will it be worth anything until you control estate agents. The noises about forced buyback of previous sold council housing are great ammo for the tories, regardless of the truth behind the words.
As for hospitals, I think we can all agree they should be in public hands, but not to the exclusion of private care as is being suggested by some - That also applying to schools and leaving the option of private education.
Private postal services are fine, but the royal mail should be 100% public, and I'm concerned at the thought the internet being in government hands for what should be obvious reasons. However, just in case they aren't, imaging what Trump could do in the US if the internet there was state controlled, and what could happen with a future government here.
State control of the internet is way too dangerous so I totally oppose it, as should everyone else.

what is the groupthink you believe you’ve identified? Can you provide some examples of it working in practise.

The view that conservatives are utterly reprehensible

An exception will be made for whoever the mystery ex-poster is, of course.

Do you know who the mystery ex-poster is?

I have owned shares, but only ones I was given for various reasons.

Were they given to you because you sent bitcoin to somebody you met on facebook

No, I'm new round here.

i can't believe there's only 772 occurrences of the phrase going back about 14 years

I notice a few twitter users had their accounts blocked for setting up versions of this

No one here believes the Tories will lose and the result won't prove anything about the reasons for the result. However every post you make proves that you're a fucking pointless cretin. Fuck off, you're not welcome here.

And when I say 'here' I mean 'earth'.

I believe the tories (could) lose tbf

I also believe there is a range of possible results but that's a bit of a complicated notion for the intended audience of that post.

Without question they can fail to get a majority. They will lose seats in some Remain areas. Without that what happens next is hard to guess, though Ed Davey is clearly trying.

I'm unsure why any of you are bothering

I had a dream that told me what the result would be. Johnson misses out on a majority again, but only by a couple of seats. Labour loses ground, and Corbyn is forced to resign. The lib dems, having gained a few seats, promptly sell out to Johnson for some pathetic concession or other. This coalition lasts about six months until enough yellow tories join the normal tories to make the arrangement redundant.

We do not leave the EU in 2020.

 

[philosophical]

Could there be a Tory/Liberal coalition again if the numbers go that way?
Johnson is off the hook because his so called deal is clearly a mish mash mess, and the price for Swinson is another referendum.

Obviously don't believe anything Swinson says.

 

[killer b]

I doubt they would go for a full coalition, but Davey said explicitly last night that they would support a minority Tory government on a vote-by-vote basis.

every time they pipe up they say something else which makes them look unprincipled opportunists

Do they? I mean, this is the first time they've made it explicit, but it's been the obvious end point of their electoral strategy. I'd say it's a big mis-step to say it out loud now though - it can only increase the flow of anti-tory voters back to Labour.

It won't be Swinson in charge because she won't be an MP.

the master criminal always makes one fatal error and theirs was to admit they'd jump into bed with boris johnson

It's going to eat right into their tactical voters - people who i think may have been keeping the lib-dem polling artificially high nationally over the last few weeks. And then they see stuff like this on top of Davey.

 

[butchersapron]

...and help a lot of those Don't Knows - already tending mostly to labour - make their mind up.

 

[chilango]

Yep.

There's not many % left to abandon the BXP but still a good 10% to come off the LibDem polling figures.

Bored in queue at Lidl.

I decided to put a few bob on the result. The Conservatives are at 1/16. 1/16. One thing I have noticed over the last few elections... the bookies tend to call it correctly.

you can't have been paying much attention then, they haven't 'called it' since 2015
