Good Luck UK on 19:52 - Dec 13 with 2242 views | Watford_Ranger | It was a poor strategy to not stick to being a second ref party which was a position more people sympathised with and they then fought an awful campaign mostly aimed at putting down Labour when they could have both benefited from the smallest amount of co-operation. Absolutely tragic to see a Tory take Kensington as a result thanks to a Yellow Tory. Also the age old problem of FPTP. | | | |

Good Luck UK on 20:00 - Dec 13 with 2213 views | derbyhoop | That seems a reasonably balanced analysis to me. The Tory victory means that they will Get Brexit Done - in the most literal sense, i..e. BRitain EXITing the EU. Many of the UK electorate were clearly fed up with the ongoing debate that has lasted 3.5 years. However, if they think it is all over then people are going to be in for a very rude awakening. There isn't a trade negotiator in the world that believes the UK and EU can conclude a comprehensive trade agreement in 11 months. Barnier, who will lead the EU side, said as much 2 days ago. The only ways it can be done is if a) both sides settle for a mini "no tariffs, no quotas" deal on a limited range of good, e.g. manufactured items OR b) the UK agrees to abide by all the EU regulations. The EU might agree to the first as EU trade with the UK is significantly in surplus. But it wouldn't cover agriculture nor services, which make up 80% of the UK economy and where UK has a trade surplus with EU. The second option wouldn't be politically acceptable. Whatever happens, the Government's own analyses, state that Brexit will have a big negative impact on the UK economy. Those former Labour supporters will find that his promises on Brexit are likely to go the same way as the 40 hospitals, 50,000 nurses, 20,000 police officers and 200,000 new publicly owned houses. And any downturn is likely to hit the Midlands and North much harder than it hits London and the SE. I suspect Boris' approval ratings will be through the floor by the end of 2020. But, if the Tories have issues to face, how much worse is it for Labour? | |

Good Luck UK on 20:19 - Dec 13 with 2158 views | Jigsore | Swinson was a disaster and i hold her in utter contempt - along with SNP push for early election that BJ was gagging for - lead an extraordinarily aggressive campaign promising a full - compare Corbyn to Johnson as equivalent despite offering a 2nd ref - personally send about 30 leaflets through my door, mostly dishonest and spurious polls fooling people into thinking they're a close second - realise revoke A50 is massively unpopular and retreat tail between legs to Labours position - still target Labour/Con marginals regardless, split the vote and let Tories win, lose her seat in the process. Amazing. Kensington honestly disgusts me... running an ex-Tory minister in the ultra-marginal grenfell constituency who proceeds to run a smear campaign against the incumbent resulting in a wafer thin Tory majority. congrats | |

Good Luck UK on 20:49 - Dec 13 with 2069 views | Juzzie | This is copied and pasted from the conservative website. Note, it’s a guarantee. Not a proposal, pledge, or wish list..... a guarantee. Lets see where we are in 4 years time. Boris Johnson's Guarantee If there is a majority of Conservative MPs on December 13th, I guarantee I will get our new deal through Parliament. We will get Brexit done in January and unleash the potential of our whole country. †I guarantee: Extra funding for the NHS, with 50,000 more nurses and 50 million more GP surgery appointments a year. 20,000 more police and tougher sentencing for criminals. An Australian-style points-based system to control immigration. Millions more invested every week in science, schools, apprenticeships and infrastructure while controlling debt. Reaching Net Zero by 2050 with investment in clean energy solutions and green infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions and pollution. We will not raise the rate of income tax, VAT or National Insurance. | | | |

Good Luck UK on 09:16 - Dec 14 with 1556 views | QPR_Nippon | Not quite. Pro Leave parties (Conservatives, Brexit) 45.6% of total votes Pro Remain/2nd Ref parties (Labour, Lid Dem, Green, SNP, Plaid) 50.6% of total votes No evidence there is still a majority in UK in favour of leaving EU. Not saying it won’t or shouldn’t happen now, it will. But I’m pretty sure there will be another referendum at some point in the future when those sunlit uplands don’t materialize. | | | |

Good Luck UK on 10:15 - Dec 14 with 1477 views | 2Thomas2Bowles | Bolx, it was going to be a new referendum with just remain or half remain, Leave was not to be on the ticket. The Labour cabinet were all remain. It was without a doubt 1983 all over again The Falklands war saved Maggy and Brexit saved Boris Foot and Corbyn got buried. [Post edited 14 Dec 2019 10:44]
