The SNP is a big factor, while they dominate in Scotland Labour can never win against the dominance of the Tories in the South of the country.
I dont agree. There is loads of support for a centrist party in England. We just don't have one. All those voters BJ has just attracted are proof. The old working class dogma of hating all Tories is gone. (except in Hull) Either Labour change and utilises that group or they remain supporting Tory.
Just for the sake of accuracy, the SNP got 47 seats, plus one ex SNP candidate won his seat as an independent. The media are all reporting this as an SNP win, however he will remain an independent at least until the outcome of the party's disciplinary proceedings.
As Woosh has shown and the facts clearly show, Boris Johnson's Tory gains have been very modest.
I sort of agree with this but with a caveat. Over the years there has been a drift away from our probably now outdated party politics. There are leavers and remainers in both Tory and Labour. There are other divisions grouping people, probably its time recognise this. I never thought I, d ever see the day Rothervalley Tory. I witnessed Scargill's arrest and the treatment handed out to miners by bused in police. If folk near that picket line would have said within a generation locals would be voting tory they would have thought you completely mad.
Not sure how much more of a look in that can be, considering the whole of London's surplus from earnings of £50 billions per annum is given to the regions! We get none of it, hence London having some of the most deprived and poverty stricken areas in the country.
In reality does it matter what we call the party or where it stands on our outdated political spectrum if that office gives people a fairer deal. I dont care if its Tory, Torylite, red, white pink or blue if it funds NHS, gets homeless off streets, spends on education and pays decent wages to workers.
Do you mean your London built on the exploit of Northern miners, steel workers and car builders. Without the now redundant mines, steel works and factories up north there would be no London as we know it today.
True, but it's still only a tiny number as the percentage election results show. We make so little now and rely so much on services, the blue collars in large numbers have disappeared.
Wrong. My London built on the export of services over the last more than half a century since the collapse of all that Northern industry.
Have you had a "Kicked in the head by a horse" experience since yesterday?
Its a seesaw with 650 positions. The balance point is at 325. ,He moves over to the 365 slot . This landslide is actually 40/650
Without the industries mentioned there would have been no London to change. For centuries the wealth of country relied on filth dug from ground and made into stuff. London developed from selling organizing, distributing and services like insurance for those industries miles away.
The slide is irrelevant. Its his number surplus to all combined opposition. (mathematically) That is 80.For various reasons this is not the figure available to him, but its the number used historically to show strength of government. Compared to May and pre election numbers he is very strong. He, s almost as strong as Thatcher in 87.
