The Sunderland result is especially interesting this time as it's both strongly Leave and strongly Labour.

It will go to the conservatives

brexit and forget everything else for a hell of a lot of people

Shame, but it is what it is and I won’t be cunting off to people. Plus I’m on the all dayer tomorrow and Saturday as I turn 36 tomorrow so nothing is getting me down.

When support for independence goes over 50% who is Boris to deny them the right?

Boris can because he has the majority and they voted to stay in the UK! No more referendums just accept the result

Well yes of course. But ultimately, I think parliament's stubborness & refusal to accept the referendum started the ball rolling

If polls correct within 5 years I see Scotland leaving the union and Northern Ireland well on their way.

Interesting to see where it goes as most recent polls had seen a fall in support for Scottish independence to levels below their last vote on the issue.
Explaining the heavy labour defeat in Scotland will take some explaining.

He has made himself insignificant. No longer has a place to snipe from the sidelines...Johnson can ignore him...even the sycophantic media need no longer to hang on his coat tails.

The only thing we can hope is that Johnson tries to bring the country together. We can't continue to be bitterly divided like this. However I fear the margin of victory will see any idea of doing that go out the window in favour of doing whatever they feel like no matter what the collateral damage.

Lets face it, there's nothing to the Conservative manifesto apart from rather worrying things about rolling back checks and balances to the democratic process, the can now implement pretty much anything they feel like and claim it to be the 'will of the people'.

This is the point. I understand some people will be gutted, but he was simply unelectable, as has been proven. Labour will regroup, elect a unifying leader and will come back I'm sure. They've lost the North and they've lost the centre ground, but moving to the centre doesn't mean they can't be radical. Rather than cry foul, label people stupid, they should just get their act together, push out the poisonous elements and become a viable, electable opposition. Country needs it.

It isn't the broadly left wing policies it's Brexit, it's a poison and there will be a hard realisation that the sunlit uplands do not exist. There isn't a swell of support for centrist parties, the Lib Dems show that.

52% isn’t enough for a lot of people. Hence why we’re here today.

In the case of Northern Ireland he is duty bound to allow a referendum if he believes a majority would vote for reunification. At least one part of the union is going to have gone by 2030 as a result of this.

Just shows that the majority don't go around shouting the odds on social media, & probably anywhere else either

I'm back in the Midlands tomorrow for the weekend and got a night of free drinks to look forward to from a Corybn disciple who was convinced he'd get a majority.

Yep. Well hidden. Once Rees Mogg put his foot in it he went straight to detention.
Johnson was viewed as the better of two dodgy candidates. Plus Corbyn isn’t a leader. They’ll have to dig deep to find an electable person.

Still wouldn’t be enough for those that shout the loudest though would it?
If Scotland want a referendum and the vote to go it alone then let them go. They won’t vote for independence. People always seem to forget the silent majority.

My personal preferences aside, this is truly democracy at work, it's looking more shocking by the minute for Labour.
