Whenever I am fed up...I rewatch this. Its so enjoyable

[BrianFraser]

So let's sum up the Election in a nutshell.

So the Conservatives won...but lost ...Labour lost ....but won....the SNP won and lost in Scotland but still won and the conservatives won in Scotland but lost.. .
The government was Tory but now can't be even tho it is still and they need to make some Irish chaps Tory so they can be in charge even tho they were and still are...
UKIP lost but because of Brexit they already won ...The independents won but didn't win because they don't have a party, so they lost but are now MP's so they won ...
The winner ( May ) is being told to resign because she didn't win and she won't because she won even tho she lost...
Easy :D

This presenter is quality. I really really liked how he did not hold back. He asked tough questions of both labour and conservatives representatives. Thats quality!!

29:05, Well, no. Over 50% of England's seats were still Conservative and really it was still just a quarter of Scotland's seats that were that way. It is just that was an unusually high figure for the Conservatives in Scotland, overall that kind of figure for a party leading the government in an area of 59 seats should still be viewed as disappointing.

Politics is really about vision going forward. Theresa May asked the country to endorse her vision for a Britain run by and for the few. Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party set out a very different vision for a Britain run by and for the many and the people liked it.

I'm an American, and here in the US, the GOP (Republicans or... CONSERVATIVES) seem much different from this May person...

18:10 Serious question: Are they arguing or agreeing with one another?

[shanehill]

She's about as stable as The Leaning Tower of Pisa

People start their account with Barclays. They will save their mortgage.

What if the result suggests that both main parties are capable of forming a majority with a coalition? What then? I'm sorry as an American I do not fully understand the system.

"I will now form a government!!!" The queen: "what the ****"

Voting Conservative shows what a horrible human being someone is, it's that basic.
Despite them (and the neo liberals Blair and Brown) making policies that have done everything possible to undermine the traditional Labour Party vote we are kicking back.
I am 50 and on paper I would appear to be a conservative due to my background but when I first learned that my outlook is actually a political stance when I was in my mid teens, I have supported Labour.

She brings out her manifesto late, with lots of nasty things in it, (does she really think people want fox-hunting?), or their houses stolen?, and refuses to do television debates, then why is she surprised when she doesn't do as well as she thought? Added to that, she can't give a straight-forward answer to anyone, seems completely lacking in personality or character, and no-one has any idea what she wants from Brexit, why did she call for an election? Was she thinking Murdoch would do his usual, and maybe she doesn't realise that's stopped working. Or, maybe, she's thinking people will just forget about Brexit.

[shanjanusman]

She lost our majority Just so sad to see DCs work erased

[raka]

The biggest problem with Mrs may is that she try really hard to be second Magi Thacher

I hope C4 will have less tory bias this year

I'd just like to say congratulations to Ken Livingstone, who managed to go an entire interview without mentioning Jews or Hitler. I guess his cough got in the way 😂
