@GottaLaff Sunak has said he will fight on the keep the party in opposition, some seat projections are showing they could slip behind the Lib Dems. Extinction or not, there are tumultuous times ahead for his party, finishing third on seats would be seismic. They will be scraping the barrel for next leader after this too, whatever happens they will come out of this election much, much weaker than in 1997 when Labour last ousted them.

@GottaLaff
I don’t know about that. party success is greatly inflated. People don’t remember when Blair won he won a super majority and even after years of Blair and labour government the Tories came back to plunge uk in years of austerity and Brexit. Nigel alone won’t make the Tories irrelevant, that is nonsense.

@Twitter_expat @GottaLaff UK Labour are too much like the USA Democrats. There is little between their policies and that of the Tory Party. Unless there is true transformative Government the fickle public will go back to what they are used to. Tory Rule. It’s the same with other Labour Parties in the Commonwealth. They have strayed from the purpose for which they were formed.

@CarolynStirling @Twitter_expat Wait, what? You actually think there’s little difference between Dems and Republicans?

What?

@GottaLaff @CarolynStirling

I do think there is a huge difference. In the UK situation I also think there is a huge difference. People in UK that think there isn't are people who most likely support Corbyn or the likes of him. Those are people who are old hippies that doing want NATO, want to make disappear Israel to put it mildly.
The huge difference is that Conservatives, and Tories worldwide dont want to solve any problem and lower taxes and cut goverment spending.

@GottaLaff as the Brexit referendum in June 2016 started a year of electoral disaster in the world, let’s hope this one is also predictive of what is to come later in the year
