imagine watching 14 years of the tories running the country into the ground, and then voting tory again

“No, I do not enjoy being stabbed. …Oh you want to stab me again? Yes please!!”

In Bromley & Biggin Hill it was goddamn close; only a win by a couple hundred.

To be fair, in only one of those London seats did the Tories get a majority of the vote (Harrow East). In most of their remaining London seats, the Tory candidate was elected with a vote share in the mid-30%s.

but the fact tories got a single vote at all is troubling

So ERM.... What do the colours represent?

Different political parties.

Red = Labour (new governing party).

Gold = Liberal Democrat.

Blue = Tory (former governing party).

Grey = Independent (but he used to be Labour and was leader of the Labour party for a bit).

IDS only got in because the labour vote got split between the newly added labour candidate and the one who got disowned by the party
