The result is quite ironic. It was supposed to be a 'bloodbath' for the conservatives and the extreme right. It looks like the left/hard left got the young out to vote.
This is largely a vote against austerity and possibly also against globalisation. I would hope that this also translates to a more moderate brexit.
- gumaflux 9y agoPerhaps if Labour actually won own majority, sounds more like a very poorly run campaign by May. Complete lack of leadership. Just the single fact of shying away from debates. Great opportunity to put country before party now.
- tkyjonathan 9y agoNot a labour supporter myself, but I would saying getting 31 more seats when you were expected to lose 20-100 (according to polls) is a victory. In addition to cons not having a majority, labour can now actually be a proper opposition.
