Your like a blind person playing dot to dot.

Truss was unpopular because her ideas tanked the UK economy, not because she pretended to be progressive.
She's a neurotic libertarian.

What else don't you know about anything?

Bolded

Kwasi Kwarteng's economical ideas

What else don't you know about?

Seems UK properly renewed its political class, and while being a bipartism, congrats for this hability. Corbynism is well gone.

The new government inherits the same shit that the previous one had to deal with and UK debt is sitting at what- 123% of GDP?

You'd better temper your expectations.

I have nothing to temper, Gruck.

Yes you have pierre

If you say so, must be true, we trust the shit you say, Gruk.

Shit politicians / trash policies

Doubling down calling voters fascists

Wiped out in elections

Riots

Winning of course

Official UK results:

It's quite astounding how Labour has secured one of the largest seat majorities in UK history, based on a vote share of a measly 33.7% of the vote, significantly lower than what they got in their losing (!) campaign of 2017 and barely above their dismal performance in 2019. Gaining 1.6% in the vote after THESE disastrous 5 years from the Tories is actually quite pathetic. Compared to 2010, Labour has gained 4.7% after 14 consecutive years of Tory rule.

Keir Starmer has triumphed in this election not because him or Labour won over a lot of people, he will be PM because he was able to keep Labour steady while the Tories collapsed. In spite of the huge Labour majority, they don't actually have a strong mandate from the UK's electorate.

For the Tories, it was a complete and well-deserved rout, but relative to expectations, this was actually a decent night for them. The cataclysmic wipeout that some polls predicted did not come to pass, they retained enough seats to remain a functional party, even stay the official opposition by a decent margin. And their competition on the political right from Reform UK wasn't able to achieve a full breakthrough.

The LibDems saw barely any change to their support level, but were able to pick off a lot of seats due to the Tory collapse.

The second big loser of the night is the SNP, which lost the bulk of its seats. Like with the Tories, this was a well-deserved punishment for bad government. With this collapse in SNP strength and a Labour government in Westminster, Scottish independence should be off the table for at least the next decade or so.




Another interesting tidbit I saw from the BBC analysts is that Labour support took a huge hit in Muslim-heavy seats, which even allowed the Tories to gain a seat from Labour in Leicester East - in this environment! So the Muslim backlash over the Gaza War did indeed materialize at the ballot box, it just didn't matter in the grand scheme of things, given the huge Labour lead and the UK's political system. Still something to keep in mind with regard to elections in France or Michigan...
