Re: UK general election
How interesting.
I always thought the result would be closer than the media and everyone thought.
Labour were much cleverer in the way they used social media and mobilised younger voters to get out there. Most of my social media feeds were all Labour supporters and messaging, very little from the Tories.
Theresa May certainly made a huge miscalculation. She was clearly pretty out of touch with the mood of the general public. She came across as very wooden and robotic and didn't seem to creat much empathy with people at all, plus their hard right manifesto wasn't popular with people. They ran a poor campaign, with numerous about-turns etc. Very poor indeed, and I think she is seriously weakened by this.
She said that she feels sorry for her colleagues who lost their seats and 'didn't deserve to', which I find very arrogant. If the voters decide someone shouldn't be representing them, they they deserve it. She has disrespected the voter and shown a rather odd view of how democracy works.
Labour did better than expected, but don't forget that they still lost. There are many more Tory seats than Labour ones, so let's hope they don't try and spin this as some sort of victory.
I'm fairly happy with a hung Parliament (hang the lot of them, I say
). Ive said many times on here that having any one party in a too dominant position is never a good idea and seldom ends well. Hopefully the Tories not will realise that they serve the people, not the other way around.
