People
will interpret this according to their proclivities and their pet
isssue.
It
is clear that Labour under Corbyn, as well as the rapidly Remainer
LibDems have been punished by the electoratte for nothing less than
betraying the electorate qwho clearly voted to leave the EU.
There
is not doubt where public opinion lies.
The
Tories are of course disgusting and I doubt the folks of Middle
England are voting for austerity and policies which lead to be people
with cancer being told they have to find work, only to die on the
walk home.
They
are voting for Johnson because they have been utterly betrayed by
the neo-cons in the Labour Party. No doubt, under different
circumstances, they would have voted for Farage's Brexit Party.
Mike
Ruppert called Britain “a basket case” 10 years ago and so it is.
This is about collapse and not Right vs. Wrong as the liberal idiots
paint it. If the main personages did not exist they would have to
have been invented.
As
the Arabs say: “it is written”.
Boris,
Bigly: Exit polls show conservatives set to win election on Brexit
promise
RT,
13
December, 2019
Exit
polls are indicating that Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party will
have a decisive majority in Britain’s third general election in six
years that was seen as the most important vote in a generation
despite 'dirty' campaigns.
The
Conservatives have been forecast to win 368 seats - a majority of
over 80 - with Labour suffering major losses and down to only 191
seats.
With
those numbers, the Tories gain 51 seats, while Labour loses 71, a
crushing defeat for Corbyn. The Scottish National Party (SNP) will
win 55 seats (a gain of 20), while the Lib Dems will win 13 (a gain
of 1), the exit polls predict.
The
election has been described as the “dirtiest” ever in terms of
shady campaign tactics. It has also been one in which some major
national issues have faded into the background as the unresolved
Brexit dilemma still hangs over the UK.
Some
voters were even willing to switch political parties based on Brexit
stance alone, causing significant worry to both camps.
"I
cautioned for the last two years that Labour would be doomed if they
turned their back on their traditional supporters, who supported
Brexit strongly," George Galloway, a former Labour MP, told RT.
The
final polls in the run up to election day predicted a win for Johnson
— and now the first exit polls seem to confirm they were correct.
The
odds were stacked against Johnson when he took the helm at the height
of the Brexit drama back in the summer, but he won admiration from
Leavers by fulfilling a promise to renegotiate parts of Theresa May’s
EU withdrawal agreement. If the exit polls are indeed correct and
Johnson wins an outright majority, he would be able to push his deal
through parliament and truly “get Brexit done” — fulfilling his
campaign mantra.
It
won’t all be smooth sailing for Johnson, however, as he will still
be tasked with the challenge of negotiating a satisfactory EU-UK
trade deal by December 31, 2020, which will be no easy feat. What’s
more, controversies that plagued the last four months of his
leadership — including recent scandals over the NHS — will no
doubt spill over into his new government.
Reacting
to the exit poll results, a Labour spokesperson said Thursday night
that it was "too early" to call the result, but admitted
that the party faced a "challenging" election and one in
which Brexit was "at the forefront of many people's minds."
Indeed,
it will be the early hours of Friday before it becomes clear if the
exit polls match the final results, but they typically have been very
accurate in UK elections.
Both
parties worried that the cold, rainy weather would impact voter
turnout in the first December general election in nearly 100 years,
but social media was flooded with pictures of long queues at polling
stations all over the country, portending a good turnout.
UK
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he had been given a strong new
mandate from the British people, celebrating his Conservative party’s
landslide electoral win as a “historic” chance to carry out his
Brexit agenda.
“At
this stage it does look as though this one nation Conservative
government has been given a powerful new mandate,” Johnson
said, drawing cheers from supporters.
To get Brexit done, and not just to get Brexit done but to unite this country and take it forward, and to focus on the priorities of the British people.

Election voters 'turned away from polling stations' without being
able to vote
Voters
furious as they are turned away from polling stations
12 December, 2019
People in Merseyside have today complained that they have been turned away from polling stations without being able to vote.
A number of people have contacted the ECHO - while others have taken to social media to reveal that they have been turned away from polling stations without having cast their vote.
18-year-old Ellis Bennett was shocked when he went to his local polling station in Woolton Village, only to be told that he was not registered to vote.
He says he registered weeks ago
Ellis said: "I turned up today ready to vote but when I gave my name they said I wasn't on the list.
"They put me on to someone at the council who said I wasn't the first person to complain about this - I definitely registered weeks ago.
