I'm not so bothered about the Conservative party as such, but it will obviously make achieving Brexit more difficult

the other fly in the ointment is that Tim Farron has retained his seat. I don't suppose the arrogant whingeing toad will ever be off our TV screens now
Clegg got his marching orders though.

The NHS was on its knees when Thatcher finished with it.

Don't worry everyone, we will be doing it all again in 4-5 years time.

I would understand if it is something the Green party are opposed to, but surely opposition to another party, rather than the legislation they are putting forward, is not helping the country and seems to be a method of manipulating the vote.
With attitudes like that, is it any wonder this country is going downhill?
I agree, but not to worry: the Greenies have very nearly as few seats as UKIP!

It could be said that, like UKIP, the Greenies are no more than a pressure group.

Best of luck with that.
Even so, it is no longer clear cut. If Brexit does happen, I can imagine that it will be with many concessions to the EU including payment of the billions they are demanding and also open borders so they can send us their unwanted jihadists.

That may be a pessimistic outlook, but if any such thing does happen, the people of this country must accept that it is our own fault.

I think Labour should now be allowed to form a minority government to show that they cannot deliver on their manifesto.

I see you have made your views perfectly clear, Julie. You support muslim terrorists and their murder of innocent people.

I have to say that I consider that disgusting and I hope you can live with yourself.
