    I regard that as a good thing given my own political leanings, but I would note that Reform have actually got more votes across the country. It’s surely a failing of our system where the results are so out of kilter with the popular vote

    It’s also an irony given that the Liberal Democrat’s have been the biggest proponents of electoral reform for the last thirty years, yet they’ve outperformed their national vote share.

    Big tactical vote in the south and I think looking at some of the seats, a bit of a farmers revolt

    Oh and Liz Truss is gone…Lol

    This makes for an interesting stat, that the seats of the four previous Tory prime ministers have been lost

    Witney - Cameron’s old seat and Maidenhead - May’s old seat gone to the Lib Dem’s

    Uxbridge and South Ruislip - Johnson’s old seat, and Liz Truss’ seat of South West Norfolk gone to Labour

    Double Lolz

    You give me the impression you don’t like dear old England very much

    Believe you me, everything you don’t like about England is just as abundant north of the border

    No it's less personal than that, I'm just saying that overall, Scotland has never been Tory yet they've spent many many years under the Tories, they also didn't vote to leave, so.they keep suffering from how the rest of the UK votes - therefore it only makes sense for them to want to go their own way, I know I would, but that's all hypothetical and putting myself in their shoes

    1955 was the last time the Tories had a majority of the seats in Scotland. But ultimately super Austerity would come their way as a result of independence and they know it

    The people who weren't totally dumb knew leaving the EU would make this country much worse off but they still did it, admittedly mainly for reasons of prejudice (and yes i know it's not fashionable to say so but it was), so it can happen

    I don’t think Brexit has been all that influential in the state of the economy, it certainly hasn’t helped but when you look at the rise in energy costs, the inflation etc. A lot of it comes down to Ukraine, Covid etc. Now the Tories are to blame because they cut so much from public services that these things have affected us more than other European countries who also have massively faltering economies

    It was also a low salience issue to voters in this election , whether they’d voted remain or leave
