I voted Labour minority, because that seems like the worst possible outcome, and that's the world we live in now.

BB wants Scotland to go Tory blue and the rest of the country to follow, he thinks a May landslide will be a beacon of hope.

Well Labour has been a minority for awhile now.

This whole election has been a giant vanity project to boost May's ego; I shall laugh my ass off if she falls short of her current majority.

And the Brexit negotiation clock ticks on, best part of two months wasted.

They are going for "no deal" anyway, so why not waste some time?  :bowler:

Ah, I get it. Don't agree but get it.

Wouldn't an outright Labour majority be worse for your political convictions, Barrister?

Nope.  Pretty sure Labour supported by SNP would be worse (Lib Dems appear ready to get thrashed).  A Labour majority, whatever else it's sins, would at least have a mandate to negotiate Brexit.  And whatever you think of Brexit, you at least want a unified voice trying to negotiate it.

Theresa May has said she will change human rights laws if they "get in the way" of tackling suspected terrorists.

At least she is honest.

If this continued for another week and polls kept going down for her I'd expect a full V for Vendetta turn by next monday.
