I Like Politics

Welcome to Election night. A little over 2 hours until the polling stations close and the race begins.

This will be an election night chat thread. Anyone in the UK , regardless of your political persuasion , is welcome to join in. The only rule is that everyone is polite to each other. People may disagree but anyone resorting to trolling , name calling or being abusive will be asked to refrain , leave the thread or even be blocked.

So , inspired by @ArtieKat , have you got your election night drink and nibbles. I've got mine

@SW-User Sounds terrific. I'm meant to be taking a break from drinking but I have beer, rum, vodka and dragon soop here. Think my break is lasting an impressive 4 days 😂.

@ArtieKat It's alcoholic energy drink really. It's awful but I like one flavour and a few cans to end the night usually makes me blackout😂.

@thatscottishguy say for arguments sake the Tories return with a 20+ majority where will that leave Nicola facing a Brexit she's against and denied a 2nd referendum?

@SW-User she will have to suck it up lol

@SW-User It's hard to say. Yes it will be a problem but if Boris keeps denying it then it also kinda plays into her hands. It might get more people on board. I've been thinking if it keeps up eventually we just have to hold one and if the UK government does what Spain did then that will only help us.

Also even if we hold the balance of power and we have an arrangement with Corbyn it could be bad for us. Having a referendum when Corbyn is in government means we can't go on about Tory governments and left wingers might be more likely to say no.

So really there's problems and advantages either way. Just need as many seats as we can get so it's harder to deny.

@Nyloncapes Well it's that attitude that makes people more likely to want out.
