>Labour behind Tories in Scotland
Who could have guessed?
RESULTS IN
How did UKIP do?
The fire rises
>UKIP +12.5%
>Labour -7.6%
MUH DICK IS SO HARD!!!
Gains in Wales and English councils.
Scotcucks remain cucked
>Green doing better than UKIP for London mayor
FUCKING HELL WHY??
Actually I guess its not that hard to figure out. City of foreigners doesn't like a part that wants to restrict immigration. But how the hell did the green meme do better?
nth for Rt Honourable based Osborne
>based Osborne
I can't wait to see the next leadership election of the Conservatives, either Osborne's going to be publicly humiliated or the Conservative Party is going to fuck itself over.
> They are people that cannot use any of the resources available to someone in 21st century Britain to better themselves.
Because usually they simply cannot afford to.
Or the local councils resources are horrific at best of times, so they simply cannot find the resources to better themselves.
Not to mention a lot of people grow up without even knowing WHERE there local governments offices are, because of shitty parents not informing them of hugely important things like this.
Fuck, I had a friend who went through HELL with the DWP because he had bad ACNE.
He regularly looked for jobs for over a year and a half and regularly got sanctioned because of his looks.
He also never got a lot of said jobs because of said acne.
He was already on medication to try get rid of it, but it wasn't helping much.
He moved to another town about a year ago. Got a job with help of that council pretty much instantly.
A store job at that. Very public-facing.
Inequality between councils is a pretty huge issue across the whole country.
It is something we really badly need to work on.
Some people even go to entirely different job centres because they get victimized in their own one because someone just doesn't like the look of them.
The job center needs to die. It is rotten at the core.
The overhead costs are through the fucking roof for something that barely helps people get work.
People go on about disability abuse, most of it exists in the Job Centre.
No progress in Scotland which is disappointing but not unexpected
Small gains in England with vote share gouged from Labour
Big gains in Wales, UKIP enter the Senedd for the first time with 7 representatives (LAB 29, PC 12, CON 11, UKIP 7, LD 1)
So what will this mean for brexit? Are voters showing early signs of wanting eu-friendly parties to fuck off? Please tell me your exit polls take voter intent information down.
i think he should be considered for PM desu senpai
>exit polls
>local elections
kek
Any lefty tears captures, lads?
He has a terrible record as Chancellor, he has a terrible public image, he's a totally insignificant orator and public speaker, he hasn't done well in the Commons at all and he'd be seen as a shoe-in successor to Cameron without proper process and debate taking place in the party (ie the right would hate him).
He'd be a fucking terrible party leader.
Who /ruth/ here?
who?
How do you expect your political parties to improve if you don't understand why a voter cast their ballot? To be honest I don't remember watching bong news discuss exit polling data for your general election either, but maybe I just missed it.
guy in the centre is my candidate. he got about 3,300 votes last year. green candidate got 1,300 votes, kek.
the greens are a liberal hug box. more of them about than ukip voters in the whole of london i would think.
Well if we're going for reposts.
>You would not say that if you were an estate agent. I speak to these people every single day. I would have thought browsing Sup Forums would have made you aware that there is always some truth to a stereotype.
Some truth =/= everyone.
And again, while I won't defend their actions, it's very hard for the average dumbfuck to get out of the benefit-cycle. The rare smart one might do it on sheer talent and the lucky one will get a job but most are fucked and stuck in a repeating pattern that breeds criminality and 'fuck it' as a mentality.
Attempting to get a job will also cost you time and money as you'll live on a shitty run-down estate miles from any possibility of employment.
And even if they do pull themselves up there are only so many jobs available in a 'service economy' because it's mostly just moving funds around internally. With high competition for jobs you're going to pick the academically qualified kid whose parents have pushed him to bulk out his CV over the poor fuck no matter how hard he tries
And in all of this yes, there is that minority that is pure scum and likes it that way. That doesn't mean everyone chose a life of poverty or near-poverty.
Oh and finally there is plenty proof out there that the bedroom tax costs more money in terms of forcing people into more expensive smaller houses (often privately rented) and that most people can't even find another fucking property.
You can say all you like that 'landlords are allowed to discriminate against those on benefits' but to then complain they won't move houses is bullshit.
Well, is there?
Yeah and the fact is with these useless cunts who work at the Jobcentre, they're getting paid. They're taking home taxpayers money to act like pricks. We should sack them all.
Would be good tactically, but what about Boz?
>exit polling data
Exit polls are just to get a sneak peak at how people voted, user.
Regular polls are for anything else.
Aren't they winning tho?
>I can't wait to see the next leadership election of the Conservatives, either Osborne's going to be publicly humiliated or the Conservative Party is going to fuck itself over.
He already got fucked over with the panama papers user. Osborne would be a poor choice for leader anyway.
peek* fugg
>I don't remember watching bong news discuss exit polling data for your general election either
There was a shitstorm over it, twitter lefties melted down over the labour drubbing.
Actual polling is used for vote reasoning and such
no exit polls for regional elections mate, turnout is too low and no one cares enough for it to be worth it
UKIP gains and Conservatives holding strong bodes well for brexit but we're still a month out
Barring any major fuckery between now and June 23rd it'll be decided by turnout. Because of the way the in and out camps are distributed across demographics (LEAVE are old people, men and white people whereas REMAIN are students and single mothers) the lower the turnout the more likely we are to get a LEAVE vote.
osborne blatantly has aspergers.
I voted UKIP and I voted to abolish the Senedd.
Labour got BTFO in Scotland, lost 7% of votes in Wales and is LOSING council seats whilst in opposition (this hasn't happened since the 80s when Labour were shit and the tories were getting 150 seat majorities with ease under thatcher)
Labour? lol fuck no.
They should have been making gains in local elections as the opposition to a party that has effectively been in government for the last 6 years. They actually lost some instead.
You know there have been silly ideas like 'no benefits if you don't sit in the job centre all day waiting for work' right?
The job centres exist to keep up the pretence of their possibly being work for these people. Also anyone trying to remove them will be accused of encouraging the lazy poor not to try.
Much easier just to keep them around and waste taxpayer money instead of facing up to the truth.
no he doesn't.
In the United States they take polls along with 'who did you vote for' at the same time as asking things like how important you think the economy is vs. Foreign policy. It helps a lot to know what the people who are actually assed to go vote think than a more random sample of people who won't be a garuntee lock of voting at some later date. Turnout I'd usually pretty low in local and off elections isn't it? That's why I was curious to know if anyone was asking voters now what their intent was in late June.
Wings Over Scotland digging into the Greens for killing independence.
>The first thing to note is that independence is now categorically and unequivocally off the table for at least half a decade.
>The failure of the SNP to secure a Holyrood majority last night (for the want of less than 500 votes) combined with the Greens’ weasel-worded opposition to a second referendum – and make no mistake, opposition is what it is – will ensure that even if the rUK votes to leave the EU and Scotland votes overwhelmingly to stay in, there will be no indyref before the next Holyrood election in 2021.
>The scenario warned of by this site, Scot Goes Pop! and Derek Bateman – while others sneered and tossed around terms like “SNP apologist” – came true. A perfect storm of Tories capitalising on Labour’s collapse by playing the Loyalist card, Unionist tactical voting, reckless self-interest from the Greens and naive stupidity on the list saw D’Hondt take its revenge on the SNP for breaking it in 2011.
Nah, that would make him good with numbers.
This. Was discussing this last night, the undecided voters who'd swing it to stay just wont turn out to swing it.
No.
But am reluctantly /the-tory-candidate-I-voted-for/.
They came 3rd behind the Tories (technically a MASSIVE paradigm shift, given that lefists constantly stick their fingers in their ears and scream "Scotland is communist LALALALA!" all the time), that isn't winning.
>Barring any major fuckery between now and June 23rd it'll be decided by turnout.
Is anyone else hoping at this point that there'll be another terrorist attack somewhere or that the news will be inundated with migrant shit?
The news have been suspiciously quiet about the migrant crisis for a while now, I really hope they're not keeping everything quiet until after the referendum.
The funniest part is a bunch of Labour cucks signed a petition calling for a general election this year after Dave's offshoring was revealed.
Now ignoring how fucking stupid that is It would have been great to see it happen just to see them get even more blown the fuck out than last year.
Thank god!
Ok so that mudslime cunt won't be mayor because it literally made me sick thinking about it
Nice dubs!
Good to hear lad!
M.E.G.A
No, they are winning in Londonabad
>Ok so that mudslime cunt won't be mayor because it literally made me sick thinking about it
No he probably will, but that's their ONLY saving grace this time round. Mayor of London is a meme position as well.
Honestly I'm pleased by this.
The SNP-Green argument means the Greens won't have influence in HR (thank fucking god).
The lack of an SNP majority means we'll likely see SNP minority and the cons on an issue-by-issue basis keeping them down here in the real world.
It also means that people will stop voting green in 2021 but by then the cons will hopefully have made a good enough impression we'll get another SNP minority.
Nah, turnout is shite for local stuff and not brilliant for general either unless it's been heavily politicised.
I don't remember my polling station ever having exit poll people there on generals, either, I think it's a thing that the larger areas do.
Dugdale damage controlling?
How do Labour control such a high amount of council seats but get fucked when it comes to MP's?
Someone please explain, pls
Well that's some what comforting.
Why is the mayor of London a meme position?
First pass the piss.
Yeah but both systems are FPTP?
Most of the seats up for grabs yesterday were in Labour areas in the north m8.
If most south west councils voted there would be 1000+ more tories/lib dems
this is awesome, i wouldn't have thought ukip would gain so much in wales, we're usually so cucked

Who will replace Shaun Wright
London as it stands:
> Labour - Sadiq Khan - 44.0%
> Conservative - Zac Goldsmith - 35.0%
> Green - 6.0%
> Lib Dem - 4.0%
> UKIP - 4.0%
> Women - 2.0%
> Respect - 1.0%
> Brit - 1.0%
> Cannabis - 1.0%
> BNP - 1.0%
> Ind - 1.0%
Still with 20% of the vote to count and the more conservative places lagging.
Zac should get UKIP, Brit, and BNP votes second votes so throw on 6% to him there.
Lib Dems and Greens will be split. They both endorsed Zac as their second vote early on but later back out. However both demographics are typically white, middle class, and care about the environment which makes Zac their natural candidate.
Who /norniron/ here? Voted for no local parties
Fraud, low turnout, paki politics, 'this is how my father voted' and suchlike.
And a bit more fraud. Sometimes they even find 140 fucking votes just lying around.
>Why is the mayor of London a meme position?
Why is the President somewhat of a meme position (internally that is, not foreign policy)?
On paper the Mayor has little power. In practice he has even less without support.
Welsh reddit is butthurt and calling for heads to roll
best case scenario some ahmeds come across on the tunnel from Molenbeek, try to storm Buckingham Palace and get rekt by Phil, Charles, Will and Harry using some 19th century hunting rifles and a sharp flagpole with a union flag on it
>Respect - 1.0%
At least George got BTFO.
Scottish Reddit has gone conspiracy theory and is blaming the Tory success on English ex-pats.
Wales is probably quite anti-EU and growing anti-Labour now that so many jobs have been lost and de-industrialisation has been taking place.
I know a few friends in Wales who hate Labour now, especially given Blair. Labour are fucked in Wales.
They have the history of turning away from socialism under Blair and going to the centre-right, there's a small but steady and probably growing nationalist sentiment to siphon votes and they've got their stance on the EU to struggle with as so much of the south is fucked over and unemployment and all social issues that come with it manifest themselves.
>snp intending to form a minority government
Vote of no confidence by a con-labour coalition when?
>tfw London will be the first European city to have a Muslim mayor
We are going to get bantered to death lads, not even Sweden has a Muslim mayor.
That's who the Welsh ledditors are blaming for ukip
It would fail without LD and Green.
I believe there are also special rules in the Scottish parliament instead of simple majority but I may have made that up.
>English ex-pats
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY'D MOVE TO A COUNTRY NOTORIOUS FOR HATING THE FUCKING CONS.
Fuck me the English ex-pats I know up here are actually normally the most die-hard SNP voters or non-political.
It's not just the fear that the tenant may be a scallywag, it's that every DHSS recipient is a pain in the arse and causes the landlord a lot more paperwork. Working tenants just pay, housing benefit claimants require the landlord to fill in forms and provide the council with all sorts of information. It is very annoying. On top of that benefits of anyone can be reduced or stopped more easily than someone can lose a job. To have the rental income of your property reliant on a bureaucratic decision you have no power to affect an unattractive instability for a landlord.
On top of the councils, when they stop or reduce payments leaving the tenant unable to pay the rent, routinely advise them to just stop paying the rent and that they have a right to domicile and can not be evicted for a few months. This is the worst case scenario for a landlord.
The system itself makes DHSS tenants unattractive, not just the high proportion of them who are unreliable ragamuffins.
>lots of tory areas yet to announce
>still have the second choice voting to go through
don't give up hope yet lad, merchant man might still swing it
and if he does the leftist asspain will be fucking monumental
>BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY'D MOVE TO A COUNTRY NOTORIOUS FOR HATING THE FUCKING CONS.
I really don't think what party a given area votes for factors into the decision to flee north because brown people are going into the cities in England.
(Not that I think the Con swing is down to anything but Labour dying on it's arse.)
>Fraud
>Paki politics
...and the difference is?
If we Brexit, it'll be ok
If we don't - We need to leave Sup Forums
>Vote of no confidence by a con-labour coalition when?
Terrible idea.
Votes of no confidence without a fair motive means people just vote SNP to get a stable government. And seriously why would the cons risk these results? They might provoke Labour to do it and stab them in the back though.
Proud to be Welsh lads. Shame our Nige wasn't standing for a seat.
But Plaid also did well. I wonder if we'll end up like Scotland, with Plaid vs UKIP being like the SNP vs Tories.
Also I don't think Scotland will go for independence. SNP seem to have hit a wall and the growing strength of the unionist Tories will keep them in.
Sorry lad, I'm afraid I'll have to join in though.
It's the only way you're ging to change
Fuck you dad, why did you have to leave us?
Because your whore of a mother and your uncles filled your mind with nonsense
Based Whales
paki politics is 'i can't read the ballot paper but my imam told me to put an x in the box next to the rose'
fraud is 'hello my name is mahmoud al-kebab ibn towerhamletti and i am here to surrogate vote for my 23 sons and 11 daughters who are all currently on university work programs in france' and 'labour have won an astounding victory in rochdale where they took a 98% share of all returned postal votes'
fuck it I think we should just send the tanks in and
burn holyrood to the ground
put all SNP MPs and MSPs up against the wall and restore direct rule from an office on whitehall
>con-labour coalition
Has that ever happened outside of war time?
Although politics in this country is fracturing. So it wouldn't surprise me if we end up like continental Europe, with dozens of competing parties but the centre-left/right still dominating.
haha! wonderful!
i can see labour losing out in the coming years, as it has in scotland, but i hope with the rise in nationalism it doesn't mean we vote PC
>I really don't think what party a given area votes for factors into the decision to flee north because brown people are going into the cities in England.
The vote might not but the culture does. Scotland's cities are actually more like England's cities used to be (white, fairly friendly, not too gentrified) and it's similar in the countryside. These type of communities are what the cons used to stand for pre-thatcher.
Despite what Sup Forums thinks Scotland is hardly a communist area.
Paki politics isn't legally fraud only morally.
we don't want nige locked up in the senedd mate he's too valuable in the wider world
R-reeeeee...
>all this snp butthurt over the greens
Aren't they irrelevant anyway?
WM is worse than HR user. Shooting the SNP is hardly going to help solve what's wrong with the UK as they are merely a symptom not the cause.
I hope you realise that if we get cucked into staying in the EU it's your moral responsibility to elect Trump and annex the UK
I don't think Plaid will be like the SNP. They tend to lean more to cultural nationalism rather than political
the only people who care about Plaid Cymru are the Welsh speakers up north
lots of people are fed up with Labour, and they won't vote Conservative because of bad blood in the past so that leaves UKIP
My city is still Labour
It'll never fucking end, will it?
Greens split the pro-independence vote and are wishy-washy as fuck on the issue.
The Greens being irrelevant is exactly why they're upset. I'm more amused by the Greens who get upset that the SNP call them out on what they've done.
Mona Wales is also ok tbth
