In 2015, Con got 36% or 11,334,226 votes
In 2016 Leave got 51.89% or 17,410,742 votes
In 2017 they got 42%, or 13,636,684 votes
If #tories won a new general election on anything less than 51% how can they legitimately claim equivalence to a Referendum?
@ashleyljames Males are more likely to commit sex crime. But the issue is with SelfID a man can abuse the system to gain access to female spaces legally. Can you tell the difference between a good man and a bad one? Same applies to trans women, who are all male genetically.
@daftscotsman11 @DizzyLizzy2906@chaillich I take the opposite view. It's the SNP that have weaponised the this to prove a point re indipendence. They knew full well it would trigger this response and were warned. But rather than modify it to take into account the interactions with British law, they went ahead anyway.

Agreed. Boris owns Brexit. So when people get it, that we have locked ourselves out of world's biggest market, and jobs go and factories close, voters will remember who said this was a good idea. The Conservatives are driving at 100 mph into a cul-de-sac. Listen out for the crash
..majority. The Leave/Remain 'vote' as represented by respective parties, is pretty much in line with the current polling, yet will not make any difference as our views will not be heard. I do feel like the millions of non tory votes are just wasted now!
It's also the fault of this shit First past the Post voting system we have. A party with 1.9m votes gets 49 seats, yet one with over 3m gets just 11. A party that got less than half the votes gets all power, and other parties will just be bystanders due to the size of the..
@sazmeister88 And screw the tw@tter trolls that have no life. THey are lowlives that feed from the bottom of life. They can get fucked. People like you make a difference and we are ins solidarity with you.
@sazmeister88 You seem like a genuinely nice person, who has a lot to give. Find it within yourself not to give up all hope and, in the people around you, see that you are loved , valued , needed! Just by keeping on the good fight, you are making a little bit of a difference every day.
@sazmeister88 ... and at least then the true cost of this disastrous election will be plain to see and no hiding from it for the TOries or Boris. They will own the mess, and we will make sure they do. It CAN be reversed, - and it CAN be fixed. It may take a lot longer than we hoped for though
@sazmeister88 Please, please don't do anything regretful or drastic like that. You are a passionate campaigner who has a real heart and genuine drive to see change. Hope may feel but a distant memory now, but the silver lining is always that there is another chance in 5 years...
Right, that's me done for a while talking about Politics.
Fed up is putting it mildly.
The country is full of people wishing to believe a lie over reality. Fine - but it's on you when us non-believers are proven right...
Danger of a hard Brexit was encapsulated in a narrow Tory win.
We'd get to the end of 2020 and the ERG would claim a WTO Brexit was better than the trade deal the PM had negotiated.
Big win means the ERG becomes fringe. Brexit Party loses influence.
If the exit polls are accurate, then we are fucked.
The british people have collectively committed the second act of mass stupidity in less than 5 years.
How can that clown be PM , let alone one that gets such a massive majority?
Goodbye sanity Hello chaos
#generalelections2019
So get out there tomorrow, put your vote down whoever it is you vote for - and make your voice heard, and I sincerely hope I am proven wrong and my gut feeling turns out to be nothing more than a bad curry.
END.

THREAD: The polls are suggesting a Conservative majority after tomorrow. The pundits are backing that up. They say they have adjusted for the 'miscalculations' made in 2017 and 2016. Will it bear out? Tactical voting, the undecideds, last minute embarrassments from Boris - 1/
or two. Greens maybe an extra seat.
My constituency is a significantly Leave backing Conservative held seat and is very healthily so. Labour are the only viable non tory to vote for - and they are miles behind.
But I will be voting nonetheless for Labour. /10
