Really happy.
Not a lot to celebrate though.
The vote share is around the 2005 level, a bit more, when Labour won a 68 overall majority for 35.2% of the vote only, with the Cons on 32.3%
The bad thing for me is the situation with Reform.
The Cons maybe could have had this tighter had they seen off Reform.
I'm pleased the Cons will be the opposition, I hope they elect a more moderate leader going forward.
However I think both Labour and the Cons need to find a way to remove Reform as much out the equation as they can.
I've been at a count tonight, er well also this morning, I felt sorry for the Con who lost.
Of all the candidates the only ignorant one was the Reform candidate.
This electoral system is useless.
Who ends up with the most seats, wins the election.
The votes are near irrelevant.
What a ridiculous voting system.
The seats are won where the concentration of activity is most generated in.
We need PR, I feel it would help get people who don't vote to start to.
Those non voters in my view, are not extreme or bigoted, prejudiced people, if they were they'd be out now voting for the likes of Reform.
Obviously I'm glad we now have a Labour government.
I hope however that Labour will build good and more consensus with the LibDems and Greens.
I will as a Labour party member fight within the Party with other members and MPs to get PR discussed and hopefully brought in for elections.
This electoral system fails the UK far more than it serves the UK now.

The projected result suggests that Reform was successful in poaching many voters who backed the Tories last time out under Boris Johnson.
In a video released on social media, Mr Farage described his party’s early results as “almost unbelievable” and predicted it would win more than six million votes. The Reform leader said it showed that “the revolt against the establishment is under way”.
“It means we’re going to win seats – many, many seats I think – right now across the country,” he added. “This is going to be six million votes plus; this folks is huge.”

It's incredible how accurate the exit poll was.
Apart from predicting 13 for Reform.
When it's more like only 4 or 5.
That I'm pleased to see that is was only 4/5.
I do though hope the Conservatives find the right leader when Sunak goes.
I really want them to be able to see off Reform, like Labour had to with the SDP in the 80s.
Thankfully they got well over the 100 number of seats still.
That's a fair base to rebuild from.

labour really got away without talking about any of their policies in detail, so its going to be interesting how that all pans out. I have to say that labour showed enormous discipline throughout the campaign and that's just not going to continue, so that will be another interesting area. I can see labour mp's getting frustrated quickly when they finally realise the money just isn't there to do all that they want and the revenue from their tax adjustments just won't cut it. I mean "getting the nhs back on track" is an almost impossible milestone to achieve

Votes can be near irrelevant in this now absurd electoral system we have.
Our electoral system of government is NOT about votes it's who can win the most seats only
That's why we need PR to get a fuller representation of seats FOR votes.
Not seats despite of votes.
Indeed I don't like Reform or Farage at all in any way.
However they got more votes than the LibDems yet got only 4 seats, whereas the LibDems 70+.
If some Party planned it carefully enough they could choose 326 seats they believed they could win, only contest them, win by a handful of votes in them.
Yet be the government under this ridiculous voting system.
Just as in a seat, you get an MP elected, like the Labour one in Liz Truss's seat.
Where he got around 11,000 + votes.
She got a few hundred less.
The 3rd placed candidate had around 10,000.
He didn't even get a third of the votes yet he is MP with all those votes against him.
Under this ridiculous voting system.
All that matters is he got the highest number of votes.

Also unsurprising; people are bored and tired. The same thing is happening in the US amongst "normal" voters, I hear. You have the screeching kids on one side and the whining Trump stans on the other, and in the middle 80% of the population looking at Biden and Trump, shrugging and saying "This is a joke I don't care any more."
I'll be totally honest and say that yes I voted, because we were out in the car for some dinner and shopping anyway, and my wife was voting, so I was there and voted.
If, let's say, my wife had voted on the way to work and we hadn't needed to pop out for anything - would I have gone to vote? I can't 100% say that I would. There was 0 possibility of it being anything other than Labour or SNP. I wasn't all that bothered which. I'd probably not have bothered to tie my shoes.
And I'm a politically engaged individual - imagine for someone who doesn't even generally engage with it?

Yes certainly agree there is now an issue of people wearing pretend faces of compassionate humanitarianism whose actual end goal is division, sectarianism, intimidation and bigotry
Enabled by many who'd rather stick their heads in the sand
You're not stupid.
Just spewing out the same talking point bollocks from the likes of Anderson and Farage is slightly weird from you, if I'm honest.
Don't pretend it's some moral cause, when you're regurgitating the same "othering" tropes that have been used forever.
US republicans in 08' started Muslim brotherhood against Obama, so that's how unoriginal this nonsense is.
Yeah Tunbridge Wells has always been a Tory stronghold, but the town has been changing over the years and the Lib Dems have really put the work in here. When Mike Martin was going door to door last month, he knocked on my door, i had a 5 min chat with him, he came across really well. He won me over tbh.
It's interesting, i do a lot of walking, and with any election you'd always notice Tory posters on windows, placards outside house etc. It was always 95% blue here. Not anymore, i think i came across 1 Tory sign on my travels this time round. There were a few Labour placards and posters outside houses, which just shows the change for this town. But they were mainly Lib Dem.
It just shows really how far the Tories have fallen if they're losing once guaranteed wins like Tunbridge Wells.

Just saying that intimidation tactics have been used, doesn't really cut it. I know it's more believable because it's scary Muslims, but these candidates have done their best to avoid any sense of accountability. Politicians used to at least talk to people, but one Palestine flag would have Philips running. If you're scared of your own shadow, then everything is intimidating.

This electoral system is a massive stain on real democracy.
It has little to do with votes in the end, it's all down to the seats targeted and won.
I've now argued years for it to end and to have PR.
The vote in 2011 was NOT about real PR.
AV wouldn't have altered the governing process in more than 3 elections since the war
There's doesn't need to be any referendum on PR.
All for instance Labour would need to do as it will NEVER be supported by the Conservative Party.
Is accept the Labour conferences overwhelmingly supporting PR now, put it in the next manifesto.
IF they win that next election then implement it for the next one
He'd be guaranteed a massive win again, because all Parties including Reform would be supporting them on it.
I will along with I'd estimate, 90% of other Labour members, trade unionists and even Labour MPs continually keep making the case for PR.
It's used in Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland for their assembly elections.
I can't stand Reform and Farage particularly.
However to get 14% of the votes and only 5 seats.
As opposed to the Greens lower votes yet getting 4 seats.
Plus the LibDems getting 12% but winning 72 seats.
Just shows how this first past the post system discredits the voting process now rather than is a sign of real democratic elections of governments.

It's Party government not singular Presidency.
We vote for Parties.
There are many forms of PR.
I don't know which one would be the best, I believe it would need consensus between as many Parties as possible to decide on the right one.
However my own personal view is, if people think it right that voters can go out and vote for Parties who get 14% of the votes but only 5 seats.
Whereas those getting less and far less in some cases but get the same number virtually of seats or 72 for 2% less votes.
Fine, first past the post is good for those people.
However if voters would more like to believe their votes really counted and could make a difference.
Then first past the post is wrong for them.
Where an overall mandate of any size only comes from the number of seats won rather than the actual number of votes cast is near more irrelevant.
There hasn't been one Party government in the 20th century or so far 21st century.
Which got over 50% of the votes cast.
However then did end up winnning anything up to over 60% of the seats at times
I think it wrong and even moreso now where from to a third of voters up to 40% in this election just done don't even bother to vote at all.
How would PR work with our parliamentary system? We vote for who we'd like to represent our area in parliament.
If the seats were allocated based on country-wide votes, how could we chose our representatives?
there are variations of pr, where people still get to pick the one with the most votes
However, i am a strong advocate for FPP, it provides stability most of the time via strong majority governments, and I would have that any day of the week over pandering to small extremist groups
I like our system. It means there's a strong link between a local area and their MP and it provides clarity from government. A lot of European countries end up without functioning governments for long periods of time because of PR and it ends up with coalition governments where the parties all give up on the policies that people actually voted for
And yes the seat share and vote share can be very different here but that's also because parties are more deliberate about where they dedicate their resources. The Lib Dems were very tactical about which seats to target this time around

27 years ago.
It's fine that you prefer first past the post.
Perfectly fine I respect that.
I think it wrong that voters have to see the Conservatives get 24% of the vote and 121 seats
The Lib Dems get 12% and 72 seats.
Labour get only 34% but 412 seats.
While other Parties don't get anything like that for their voters efforts to support them
Look, It's time in my view, I appreciate it's not others.
To make government only possible not from the seats targeted and won, however made possible from a system that is more representative of ACTUAL votes cast.

AJC = American Jewish Committee
American Jews have more rights to live in Palestine than palestinians.
An American Jew living in Brooklyn, for example, who has never even been to Palestine has the right to go and kick a Palestinian family out of their home at gun point, and under the threat of violence, to then take their home off them for themselves.
I doubt the AJC is an impartial observer, as they are currently involved in that which they are accusing Palestinians of: Genocide (the removal of people from a land).

I don't believe all those millions are that thick, that they don't understand, going to a polling station, get a slip of paper, put a cross beside the Party you like/ want.

"However, it was a statement during cross-examination, about same-sex-attracted women that enranged campaigners. He said, “You are a lesbian, if you declare yourself one”. A comment deemed homophobic by lesbians who believe you must be a biological woman to be a lesbian and who say they face abuse for asserting a transwoman is not a lesbian.
He also stated "aggressively" that those concerned about the "transing" of girls are "obsessed with genitals" and refused to admit that a 16-year-old is a "child". What's more, is that he and Mermaid's representatives admitted that they have not read the full interim Cass review that undermined many of the arguments used to support controversial trans healthcare offered to children and young people."

A comment deemed homophobic by lesbians who believe you must be a biological woman to be a lesbian and who say they face abuse for asserting a transwoman is not a lesbian.
He also stated "aggressively" that those concerned about the "transing" of girls are "obsessed with genitals" and refused to admit that a 16-year-old is a "child". What's more, is that he and Mermaid's representatives admitted that they have not read the full interim Cass review that undermined many of the arguments used to support controversial trans healthcare offered to children and young people."

TBF these have popped up on news headlines online. This is however still the honeymoon period, so Starmer will obviously want to impress.

Rwanda scheme dropped, striking doctors and nurses brought back to the table, experts in their fields given jobs, all within 24 hours, the guys off to a cracking start I’ll give him that
Nurses strikes ended a while ago. Though if he really wants brownie points, he'll bring nurses pay back to the table without strike action being needed on the first place.

Shame on Islington North for falling for magic grandpa again
So, the good people of Islington North have spoken. Just as Britain abandons Project Corbyn, the intelligentsia of Highbury Fields holds on – as Roger Waters once sang – to the dream.
I have a confession. I was born in Islington and lived there for many years. And yes, I do feel more than a trickle of shame.
I’ve spent plenty of time sitting in the well-appointed extensions of middle-class socialists trying to explain why magic grandpa is not the Messiah but just a bigoted populist, a mirror image of those on the far right that your standard Islingtonian loves to hate.
Clearly, my campaigning was to no avail. Jeremy wants peace and justice and hates genocide, and that’s enough for the true believers.
Of course, it would be disingenuous to suggest that Corbyn is selling a niche product. Candidates up and down the country won by tapping heavily into the Gaza vote.
But he is the full package for the quinoa class, the premium version of the organic vegetable basket – every hard-left belief packed into one box – and he knows it.
At a campaign rally at a community centre in the borough, amid an interminable ramble about war and peace, Corbyn conceded: “I eat croissants. And if you want to, then it is fine by me.”
He may have mis-read the country in repeated general elections, but no one can accuse him of getting Islington wrong. And by doing that, he has shown that his brand has life in it yet.
In a small, Islington-sized way, there lies the true challenge facing Keir Starmer: a successful government cannot merely seek to improve life for Britons – it must detoxify politics itself.

So when Labour said 'nothing to see here' as their MPs got intimidated,
terrorised, and threatened in certain constituencies, some losing their seats
to so-called Pro-Palestine independents, we realise there is a lot to see here.
We see that proscribed organisations now have their own MPs in our
Parliament

But according to this that witch happened in 1997 and the latest "uptick" began in 2019 - so the May/Boris crossover era seems to have been the catalyst for "new" political apathy. Or more probably... Covid.
Also does illustrate quite clearly that the leadership hokey-pokey and Covid has been the downfall of the Tories. Look at that blue drop. Ouch.
