UK General Election 2019 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Tartarus Sauce]

Why do people automatically assume the Scottish will choose the EU over Britain? The economic and personal links between Scotland and the rest of the UK are far stronger than the ties between Scotland and the EU. Surely the Scottish have no interest in erect a hard border with their southern neighbors.

In a Britain run by Boris Brexiteers? No, they would vastly prefer the EU over that.

The Lib-Dems are arguably having a worse night than Labour.

As somebody that would have voted for them if I lived in the UK as I would be a single-issue Brexit-oriented voter in such a scenario, they should just fold as a party at this point. They failed to pick up multiple target seats, their leader lost her seat, and their presence caused multiple ticket-splits where remain tactical voting failed, allowing Cons to squeak by in some super-heavy remain seats.

With Jeremy Corbyn on the way out, their last reason for existing, appealing to anti-Brexit yet anti-Corbyn voters, will be nullified. So what's the point of them hanging around after that? They would simply be a spoiler ballot against the conservative, nativist, anti-globalist vote which the Tories have consolidated under one banner. The Remainer vote, and the votes of those who may not be a current Remainer but will turn against the Tories as the consequences of Brexit become clear, needs to similarly unify. A Labour Party that pulls itself away from Corbynite socialism is the obvious choice in that regard.

Sorry Lib Dems, you tried to make it work, and I was rooting for you, but you're on your way to being functionally obsolete.
