I think that's down this time to Mark Drakeford and his efforts in the greater part.

Thankfully Wales however, does still see through the Cons unlike England.

people do not become stupid, uninformed or arse lickers when they choose a different political option to our own. Accusing others of that is simply playground mentality :laugh:

If that's a dig at my comment.
Fair enough.
I stand by it however.

Across N Ireland, even in the DUP supporters there's dismay with the Cons and the government.

Scottish voters have strongly rejected the Cons for decades.

Now so do Wales

They're not stupid either.

There is however a good, not majority of voters across England ONLY who don't seem able to see through the Cons, nor even try to.

I say that too as someone who is English, born in Worcestershire.

What a lot of the commentary about this election has missed is that we are still in the middle of this pandemic crisis, and it is unclear when normal life will return, and that is the main thing people are interested in.

I think that is a big reason they have favoured voting for the current administrations.

Voting for a failing government that shows, each day that it's increasingly corrupt because it's familiar is foolish though.

People shouldn't tolerate wanton incompetence out of fear of the unknown.

It doesn't matter whether they're with me or not. I can understand the rich voting tory, they benefit from doing so, but the middle and working classes make fools of themselves by voting Tory and they always have.

joeysteele 08-05-2021 03:18 PM

So pleased to see the great result for Andy Burnham as Mayor of Greater Manchester.

This guy should have been leader of the Labour Party.

Senior Conservatives now believe that Nicola Sturgeon is on course for an SNP
majority despite failing to win several key constituencies.

David Mundell, the former Scottish Secretary, told BBC Scotland: "I accept that

clear they're actually going to pick up some list seats."

Kaukab Stewart has won Glasgow Kelvin for the SNP, becoming the first woman of colour to be elected in the 22 years since the Scottish Parliament was reconvened.

The 53-year-old teacher has stood at five elections going all the way back to when she ran against Scottish Labour leader Donald Dewar in 1999.

Ms Stewart takes over the seat from Sandra White who stood down at the election.

She won with a majority of 5,458 over the Scottish Greens.

The Greens in the Scottish parliament support a new referendum.
They'll pass the request.

Johnson then needs to be made to decide whether he leads a democratic Nation or is he a Dictator to some of its citizens.

Because Scots voters will have elected the SNP and Greens, who both in their manifests were calling for a new referendum.

To really ignore that, is abuse of power and dictatorship.
