Suppose they'll have a platform to shout from but it's got to hurt their chances of forcing the tories to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Some interesting analysis that Sir John Curtice ( the bloke who does all the polling stuff) makes on the BBC news website about the election results. I cannot post the link, as I don't know how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Maidenhead goes Lib Dem. So that's the former seats of May, Cameron, Johnson and Thatcher all lost by the Tories tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 1 minute ago, Wainy316 said: Loss of the Muslim vote the reason for Labour’s lower vote share? In some places, yes. But also that the Labour strategy was not to try and increase vote share in their safe seats, but in seats they needed to win from Conservatives. Just like Lib Dem, they played the FPTP system and recognised the vote share doesn't matter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 1 minute ago, Wainy316 said: Loss of the Muslim vote the reason for Labour’s lower vote share? I don't think so. I think it was 1. People didn't bother because the result was safe. 2. People voted tactically to get the Tories out. 3. People voted Reform as a protest vote against politicians in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Lib Dems now have the most seats of any third party since 1924. Pretty decent campaign by Ed Davey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
