Say want you want about the Brits but those fuckers don’t wait around when it comes to counting vote.
Paisley Jr. losing his seat is a bit of a shocker, time for an all expenses paid holiday perhaps…
The unionist vote has scattered between fairly moderate and loony
Can a party be NI’s “biggest Westminster party” if the members don’t actually go to Westminster?
Not surprising given the DUP “scandals” if you can call them that, they are the worst party in the entirety of the UK. Really behaved like headless chickens over Brexit.
SNP had the most incredible collapse also because the party was riddled with scandals (even more so than the Tories) and were frankly poor at governance, so it looks like Scottish independence has taken a set back.
Elsewhere, Starmer’s Labour did a great job tactically, and he was ruthlessly effecient in getting rid of the Corbynistas who had really prevented Labor from taking power earlier twice, but worth noting the vote shares gone down for Labour since at least the 2017 election. Part of that is Labor not campaigning as much in safe seats, but it does sort of expose how bad the First Past the Post system is.
Reform will easily have the 3rd most votes and have almost no representation.
Labour gets 8 million votes and gets 400 seats, i.e., 20,000 votes per seat.
Reform gets 4 million votes and gets 4 seats, i.e. 1,000,000 votes per seat. Surely, that might strike people as a bit odd.
