General Election - July 2024

Post twoleftfeet »

This appears to be the rumour on Sky. An easy win for Starmer and some big names losing their seats. The Country needs a change but is it going to get one? The thought of seeing that annoying Beth Rigby for 6 weeks though is a horrifying thought.

"arsene york-hunt 2:20 Tue Jul 9 Alternatively, he could stand in front of a lectern for the next year or so with ‘stop the boats’ written on it (whilst 1000’s still happily make the journey across the Channel) spunk another £250m on a vanity project that makes an African state very happy for having to do fuck all whilst those who have made the journey cost us £8m per DAY, OR he could try to think of alternative that might actually WORK."

"“Fossil fuel” is the most efficient on a vehicle scale. Nobody is saying it isn’t. But on the local, national and global scale, fossil fuels are the most efficient way of wreaking the planet. Just because you are conditioned to talk bollocks by your Union groomer doesn’t mean the Party doesn’t have to move on to be fit for government. Stand aside, little man."

How dramatic. Alternatively you could do the job at the going rate so they don’t have to come in. Or set up a company offering the work at rates British Labour expects. It’s the real world - loads of people out there worse off than you desperate to clean your bogs.

Plans for vast numbers to come being thought out already Get prepared to be overun by people who will vote labour and will be dreaming of the flag of Islam hanging over parliament Who will pay for this insanity? They will soak the rich who in turn will all fuck off. Britain will soon be a third world shit hole.

"I worked on a hydrogen generator at the national physics lab. The amount of electricity required is insane, you are putting in multiple amounts of energy for how much you get out. Add to that the issue of hydrogen storage, its a million miles away from being a mass use fuel. Energy density wise (which is all that matters until new tech comes along) nothing beats diesel or petrol (apart from nuclear). Its the most efficient on a vehicle scale."

"“Hold up. Synthetic fuel? Explain yourself Simple. It’s carbon-neutral fuel made in a lab. The process works like this. Enormous filters suck carbon dioxide out of the air and separate it into its raw elements – carbon and oxygen. At the same time, an electrolysis station (powered by renewable energy, naturally) rips the hydrogen atoms from plain water.” Ha ha ha ha! Oh my poor sides!"

36% of a 60% turnout Certain amount of Labour voters wouldn’t have turned out as they thought it was in the bag Though if you were a Labour supporter & hadn’t won for so long you’d probably want to feel YOUR vote had had an effect Some may even stayed home for Brexit & made cunts of themselves

16bn dollars? Seems a lot of money developing something old unless they have a way of making it super efficient and super clean.

"I am happy that Labour won, but the nature of the win highlights the unsatisfactory nature of the voting system. 33.7% of the vote was rewarded by 63.3% of the seats. And this on the second-lowest turnout since 1922, 59.9%. I kind of understand why 49.1% didn't bother to vote. I have for over 45 years lived at the same address which despite boundary changes putting us into three different constituencies, my vote never once mattered as all three have been safe Tory seats and I don't vote for them. Usually I spoil my ballot but I voted this time but even so it was a wasted effort."

Labour won by a majority of 172 . How isn't that a triumph. FFS when Johnson won by a 80 it was the landslides to end all landlsides according to the Tory media . You're in denial. The scale of tactical voting was off the scale in this election . Truth is people nowadays are no longer turning conservative unlike in the past . Even in 2017 Corbyns labour were way ahead in every age scale except the over 75s change or die .

"Labour did not win this election rather they did not lose as badly as the Tories. Labour garnered the level of vote that would have seen a party as the opposition but our undemocratic Westminster system sees them in power with an enormous, undeserved, majority. Labour, whether government or voter, would do well to take account of the fact that sixty five percent of the electorate did not vote for them."

All the lefties do is focus on the Tories, which has been proven on here the last few days. They never talk about their own political party."

There's a lot of evidence that the youth are turning right ( due to Tik Tok ). Lots of evidence. The old school Tories are mostly dead in the water. The most likely turn of events is some kind of Reform/Tory bonding sesh. The image has to change and the policies have to represent the desires of all ages not wanting free loading obese cunts and replacing them with imports.
