My constituency Horsham has been represented by members of the Conservative Party since 1880, making it the longest held Conservative seat. They lost last night to Lib Dem

The problem is he lost to his hair so he still gets to go to Parliament.

I genuinely think Liz Truss doesnāt understand numbers, voting or why sheās in a sports hall at 5am - utterly gormless stupidity to the endā¦
I think itās a combination of tactical and labour voters voting either side elsewhere reform/greens safe in the knowledge of labour getting in.

It took her 6 minutes to be shoved on the stage before that. LOL.

she really didnāt do much around here as a campaign. got a lot more from labour and lib dem. i think she is genuinely so clueless that she just assumed it was a safe bet and didnāt even bother.

Yeah, I mean its the first time Iāve ever voted Lib Dem. Knowing where I live has been a Tory safe seat since beginning of time, tactical voting was never a āthingā here before and I just voted Labour. This time it became clear it might actually happen and in the end Lib Dem 21,000 and the Tory 19,000. An historic day in this little part of the World.

Only a 57% turn out in my area. What is wrong with people?! At least the Tories lost to Labour.
Mrs G voted Lib Dem bc they were the only party who mentioned policies for children with additional needs (SEN) in their manifesto.

Think thatās a good thing, the people not voting are people that have no clue and would probably prop up the reform rhetoric.
Sunak is gone
the way this country works if the Tories sort out their party they could get straight back in unless reform rise properly. not sure reform would be able to get enough candidates who arenāt literally naziās though. similarly i donāt actually think thereās enough ādecentā (actually human) politicians in the Tory party at the moment to make a decent opposition
Possibly the only thing the Tories got right in the whole campaign was talking about that āsupermarjorityā/conceding before polls opened. Probably got them a few seats.
Voter id issues might account for a small percentage too.
I donāt know where had the lowest turnout but I was following the Welsh coverage and Blaenau Gwent had a 42% turnout. People have just given up on politics.
Yes and no. I think some of the current elections have mobilized people more because they are so sick of the current state of affairs.
Keep in mind, the extremists always vote and itās partly thanks to peopleās complacency that they gain ground and seats.

I think thereās already a lot of pressure on who they choose for next leader, get it wrong and theyāll look so, so bad. I donāt know where they go from here, I hate that party so itās probably clouding my judgement but it seems like they really need a big change up.

If I had woke up and didnāt know any better Iād think Reform had won by the way some of the media are reporting the results.
Farage is not going to stick around for 5 years doing his weekly constituents meetings. Rubbing shoulders with the common people he pretends that he represents. Losing money from other opportunities. Iām looking forward to hearing his excuses for not actually doing the job three months down the line. Isnāt Reform also a company and not party at this point?
