Speculation of snap election now. Privately according to Laura k Labour fears 60 seat losses as ukip does to them what the snp did in Scotland, but on the issue of free movement of labour

A historical night, like it or not.

Labour party finished as we know it?

[teddybloat]

Some interesting scenario coming up.

We leave and a condition for access to markets is to sign up for free movement of people between uk and eu borders..

Scotland holding a referendum asking do you want to remain a part of Europe or the UK?

Boris using the leave vote as a negotiating tool - effectively saying "NOW you know we are serious, give me somethjng that I can put to the UK people" before holding another referendum in 3 years time

Too posh to be PM.  Too educated.  Sorry state of affairs in the PR spin world we live in.

they can't win with Corbyn. London voters aside the core northern vote won't elect him. Can understand why Boris, say, would call an election to get a mandate for terms of exit and with it comes a bigger majority.

Can they win with anyone in charge?  Without the jock seats and tonight on top losing to UKIP?  I just don't see who can turn them around short term given the scoring system of a GE in the UK.

Sad yeah, hes no more posh then a few others id guess but hes too straight laced to pretend hes anything else. They got maggie a voice coach.

Hes so dry its quite funny.

To answer your labour question, labour will be helped by the fact the right wingers come to the fore meaning they are no closer to the middle, cameron esk PM and they never lose to the likes of corbyn, boris doesnt look anything more like PM than corbyn does.

lolbrokes given it away over the bf price again on leave at 1/6 just like they always do in these elections when they have had it off.  They love given it away to lock in profits.  If anyone can get on this time of night online.

They can win with someone prepared to commit to restrictions on free movement of Labour. Whether they would do that, the corbynista membership.....dont know. I doubt it. The essential thing is they can blame the Tories, the Tories can blame Labour and both kid themselves that they didn't fuck the campaign up.Both did

[JohnCharver]

they dropped the market lol
