Westminster Election 12th December 2019

[Eamonnca1]

The Scots had their chance, and decided not too. (sic) Be interesting to see a UI referendum, would they learn from the Scots mistakes ?

That was before the Brexit vote. All is changed, and changed utterly.

2 big takeaways for me from this.

1. Social Media is massively over rated in an election. Judging by social media you thought Labour had huge momentum and would make a difference. Reality is that the numbers who meaningfully engage in social media regularly is not as high as we believe.

2. Brexit was not an anomaly that would have been fixed by another referendum. The stupid c***ts actually want it so there's absolutely zero point arguing about it anymore!

The polls before that referendum had them winning a referendum .

Uk is telling us that if they did another referendum on brexit it would be a bigger result

Yip I agree with all that, and Keir Starmer wouldn't have changed their mind

On your first point - could be a factor that your own beliefs and who your follow etc showing you a greater labour momentum, which would be similar to myself. They say you should follow as many people as possible who you disagree with, even though it would infuriate you at times.

In fairness eastwood is light years better than mccallion. Really hope finucane sneaks it in NB. Would love to see dodds' face if he loses

He'll take a leadership role and go into Stormont once it's up and running

This is absolutely the case. Twitter and how its consumed is everyone's own private echo chamber. It's just not reflective of the wider world.

Whether McCallion or Eastwood wins Foyle is completely irrelevant.

The tiniest of silver linings is that Boris certainly doesn't need the DUP so you'd imagine he'll just ratify his deal rather then reverse it and go full no deal Brexit.

And Dodds out, let's go.

Not all that usual for me to be shouting for SF, but since I pass Dodds's (shuttered) office every day, I would absolutely love to be there when they take down the MP sign from it.

Looks like 4/9 so not 1/50 but still bookies have him as favourite
