This result came as a shock to a lot of people. Like the Brexit result came as a shock. My theory on this is that, the people who make the most noise are the hard Left. Anyone thinking of voting Tory has to wade through an ocean of negative comment, insinuations that they're a bit simple... I've virtually given up talking about politics on here. I've been branded a bigot, been told I'm anti-Muslim (I'm anti-terrorist, that's quite different), you only have to read through the comments following the count last night to see the angle at which the hard Left approaches elections.

It's done now. Labour's biggest mistake was to back Corbyn. Hopefully, they'll choose someone now who has a chance of making a strong opposition, because without a strong opposition the Tories have free reign.
