OUT WITH A DEAL EATING OUR CAKE AND LOVING IT suck it up remoaners
And like a typical anti democracy remoaner he decided the will of the people should be ignored the minute the democratic result was in total fecking hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Despite it being voted in to law by the commons the spineless two faced remoaner MPs have totally abandoned any morals and decided to ignore the will of the British people.
It will be remembered and no election or referendum will ever be the same again in this country.
The one thing that will come is a massive surge in the popularity of UKIP or a similar party in the future who stand for the 52%.
Happy Days.

It’s not rocket science mucka. If Farage was serious about Brexit he would have put his vanity to one side and played that remain alliance, or what ever they call themselves, at their own game and the Tories would have clearly won the seat. It’s a whole farce at the moment. Libs have won the seat, they’ve been campaigning for 3 years for a people’s vote and yet over 50% of the votes were in favour of parties happy to pursue a no deal.
There’s more chance of Gonzo becoming DoF at Barca.

Easy for Greens with 1 MP to do that. Will it have much effect across UK? Doubt it. Plaid also are limited in the candidates fielded.
So what's your predicted effect? Tories wiped in Wales? Eh, whatever.
Swinson visited the constituency 4 times. Lib Dems threw everything into that byelection, had their deal to not split the Remain vote - yet only won due to the Leave vote being split by Brexit party.
Difficult to say how it would go in a general election, but I can see Tories taking back votes from Brexit party after people see the consequences here.
What's clear is it was a humiliating night for Corbyn. His byelection record as leader is woedul.
Corbyn's by-election record: % +/-
2019 Brecon -12.4 Peterboro -17.2 Newport West -12.7
While Bluey is right that the result was a disaster for Labour, it's lovely to see that he still greets any bad news for the Tories with his classic straight bat of "yeah, but Corbyn".
It's beyond parody at this point.
You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help.

If there was one thing I could guarantee, it’d be that the people all saying you can’t add up votes between remain and leave in a single issue, PR, European vote would now be adding up votes in a multiple issue, FPTP, Westminster vote.
Whichever way it’s spun, the Tories had a majority of over 8,000, gained in an election where their nationwide vote was a disaster, and they saw a swing of over 9,500 votes away from them to the LibDems a week into the reign of what was supposed to be their great unifying hope.

With almost certainly the worst possible Tory candidate.
No Brexit party splitting Leave vote, Tory hold with reduced majority.
Not great to lose a seat, not the disaster some predicted either.

What’s different this time Lisa is parties have combined to share votes it was absolutely inevitable that people would do the maths. Facts are Lisa, if brexit party and Tories had done what the other 3 parties had done then there would have been a Tory victory. Whether it was done by brexit party to send a message to the Tory’s I don’t know but the numbers are there and I don’t think It will happen again. Another thing of note is that when adding the brexit/no deal parties together they have a majority. Firstly, where’s this huge swing in favour of remain that everyone talks about and secondly what’s the point of the Lib Dem’s carrying on with the people’s vote campaign because it doesn’t look like it’s gonna achieve anything new.

Labour voters are spit as well as Tory voters over Brexit although there are a greater number of pro-remain among labour.
Now that welsh farmers who traditionally voted Tory or Libs in that area are finally waking up to the consequences to them of a no deal, would wipe out Cons and Lab in a GE by voting Lib and most probably would see some who voted for the 'swivels' in protest at the EU elections also swing to the Libs.

Plaid didn’t run. The Greens don’t run in that seat. Plaid received less votes in the last election than the majority. The alliance made a difference but not the sort of difference you are describing.
The brexit party wouldn’t all be conservative votes. There was a swing from Labour to Brexit as well which would not go to the Tories. People in Ystradgynlais who voted Brexit wouldn’t vote Tory if the brexit party weren’t standing. They’d go back to Labour.

The numbers don’t reflect what you’re trying to say though. Nobody against brexit will have voted Tory or brexit party. Add those together and Lib Dem’s don’t wipe anyone out. In a referendum based on yesterday’s result, even if the entire labour vote was to vote remain (which is unlikely) leave still has majority.

The problem with your view, Ebo, is it ignores the fact "Leave" won on numbers. More people voted for Leave backing parties than Remain. Even you can't argue that.
This by-election was won on two matters - unpopular Tory candidate and Brexit party taking votes from Tories. Nothing else.

Sorry Lisa but I think you’re wrong. For this general election alone I think leave voters would go Tory. I’ve always been labour as is pretty much everyone I work with from Swansea/Neath and surrounding areas. Everyone I’ve spoken to about it this morning have said they’d vote Tory/Brexit party depending on how they decided to play it. If they don’t come to some sort of alliance and go against each other then that’s a different story but it’s been lesson to all, voters and politicians.
With you living in London so long what makes you so confident that you know how people from ystradgynlais would vote? I literally work with people from there and that’s not how they see things.

The majority of my family live in and around Swansea and West Wales.
But whatever. If people want to vote for Johnson, let them. Let’s hope they don’t moan about it afterwards when the reality bites.

Not any more though. There has been massive changes of opinion and it is rising by the day and no matter what the lobster jowled gammons tell us, we are heading into serious trouble with the economy and our job security on Oct 31st.
You just cannot stomach defeat Bluey - that is your biggest weaknes.

Dear Ebo,
Add Tory votes to Brexit party votes. Compare and contrast with votes for Lib Dems.
The clear conclusion you fail to want to see is that more voted for Leave parties than for the only Remain party in the byelection.
Lib Dems won due to no split in Remain vote and Brexit taking 3k votes from Tories.
If a GE was tomorrow, it's a two party contest - Lib Dems to Remain, Tory party to leave with the uncertainty being how Brexit party hits Tory vote. I suspect seeing that simple equation, Brexit party vote would migrate to Tories to prevent Lib Dems getting in.

It might not work like that, some of those Brexit party votes could go to Labour.

Labour have lost ground on Leave, lost ground on Remain
That makes no sense whatsoever. The majority of labour voters are for remain and they want Corbyn to 100% back it.
Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, Plaid, SNP = bigger share of remain vote in the UK than Cons + Swivel eyed looney party (BP) leave vote at the present time.
In case you'd not notice, Corbyn hasn't 100% backed any fvcking thing other than maybe he might do something if there's an eclipse.
You've Thornberry stating what he should do which got her bumped from filling in for him at PMQs, no doubt sent to a reducation camp.
Those Labour voters wanting Remain voted Lib Dems. Those wanting Leave voted Tory / Brexit party. Brexit transcends traditional political party boundaries.
Anyone with a determined view on either Remain or Leave is hardly going to vote for a party where the leader can't make up his fvcking mind because he's trying to appease all sides.
