I just hope for my children and grandchildren that I'm wrong.
This is going to be rough. They'll now bend every rule possible to hold onto power. Including drastically lowering the voting age. The only reason Rodney won was because the Conservatives threw it away, they completely changed and simply weren't Conservative anymore. It wasn't because they wanted labour, it was because they didn't want a Conservative party that was no longer Conservative. It will be the shortest honeymoon on record for him and he'll probably not last the full term.

BST has said for years that the party in power loses the election, not that the opposition win and this shows it , they are nearly in 3rd place , people have voted anyone but them. The incoming party have a hell of a job, given the global issues as well as domestic and no one should expect roses for all in first five minutes. What im hoping for is a feeling that grown ups are in charge and the light at the end of the tunnel is no longer an oncoming train.
