England is about to go on one hell of a ride!

I thought the British were already far left, now they are even farther left😂. Thank god for 1776.

[givemeabreakdoc]

Aaaaand England continues their downward spiral.

[darrenstrudwick]

Yes people did vote for change, that is why Reform got so many votes. If it wasn't for our First Past the Post electoral system we would have actually got change.

[tomservo]

Oh boy, is England going to change all right…for the worst.

[David-pzn]

Bye bye, Britain.
You’ll wish you had a second amendment soon…

[joeblow]

Reform got more of the popular vote than Labour, yet, Reform only got a fraction of the seats. The people want Reform, not more of the same BS from Labour!

This is the greatest danger our country and our people have been in for over 80 years

Socialism in Europe is hardly a change.

They voted for change… sadly there was not much change to vote for 😞- Tories and Labours are the same.

[josephwallis]

Labour UK, Australia, NZ will promise everything and deliver nothing apart from opening all the borders, good luck. Poverty returns.

[raghunepal-hfet]

Yes you are right. People always vote to change the lifestyle of their leaders only.

[hhol.m]

change is all they will have left will they beg for it - remember Obama

[leo]

Some here in the US "voted for change" with Obama years ago....we all see how that worked out!!! Hope the same doesn't happen to the UK!!!
