    imagine watching 14 years of the tories running the country into the ground, and then voting tory again

    “No, I do not enjoy being stabbed. …Oh you want to stab me again? Yes please!!”

      In Bromley & Biggin Hill it was goddamn close; only a win by a couple hundred.

      To be fair, in only one of those London seats did the Tories get a majority of the vote (Harrow East). In most of their remaining London seats, the Tory candidate was elected with a vote share in the mid-30%s.

        but the fact tories got a single vote at all is troubling

      Different political parties.

      Red = Labour (new governing party).

      Gold = Liberal Democrat.

      Blue = Tory (former governing party).

      Grey = Independent (but he used to be Labour and was leader of the Labour party for a bit).

      IDS only got in because the labour vote got split between the newly added labour candidate and the one who got disowned by the party
