Had enough yet? All the banal claptrap spewing from the main stream media? Back in the day I would have written a dozen posts on the UK General Election , now others do it all and much better than yours truly.
It is also interesting to note that the core of the Substack's I read, completely understand what has just happened. And what didn't happen. The Naked Emperor asks you to Meet the New Boss...The Bad Cat ("the fall of the center right and why you should be glad"), who also quotes eugyppius: "The centre-right is dying a slow death. It is an epochal change for politics across the West."
All great and informed reads. "The Uniparty is dead, long live the Uniparty". Not bad for a bunch of foreigners ;-)
And what happened?
- Lowest combined vote share of Conservatives and Labour for over 100 years.
- Lowest number of Conservative Party seats won for TWO hundred years.
- Labour got fewer votes than under Jeremy 'worst result since the 30s' Corbyn in [edit 1800hrs]:
2019They "won just 33.8% of the vote, far less than Jeremy Corbyn’s 40% when he lost to Theresa May in 2017 and just 1.7% up on Corbyn’s 2019 loss to Boris Johnson." (but 209 more seats: 411 total). - Lib Dems (not Liberal or Democrat) got fewer votes than under great-norks Swinson (oooh matron) in 2019 (but 61 more seats: 71 total).
- Farage (Reform UK) once again, repeating the Brexit party success, got 4 million votes (3rd largest number) but only 4 (FOUR) seats.
