Turnout: 60% (-7.6% from 2019)
Currently waiting on South Basildon and East Thurrock (Should be out later) and Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire (delayed to Saturday). Will update when they’re out.
Labour gaining only 1.6% more votes from 2019 but getting 211 more seats really shows how unserious our electoral system truly is.
Just be happy the system is not as dysfunctional as the Americans.
5 pro-Gaza independents elected, making them the fifth largest group in Parliament.
The sixth one is a Alex Easton in North Down (banger name), Northern Ireland. He’s a former member of the DUP so I doubt he’d be popular around here.
Pro-Gaza candidates actually winning seats in a country that can do nothing but give warm words for the conflict. What are they going to do to improve the lives of their actual constituents?
Insanity.
We could stop selling Israel weapons.
We send hardly anything to Israel.
The only country in the world that has any influence is the US.
So it won’t be a big deal when we totally stop.
