Well, That Happened...

It Woz The Substack Wot Won It. Not really, but the end of the election bollocks doesn't mean all is well

Well, well, well. What a week. It surprised no one that the Tories got fucked out on their arses. It should also be of zero surprise that pollsters got it wrong. I would just like to pat my own back for this piece of prognostication:

“It is also worth noting that this is why The Reform Party are a panto backdrop, soon to be put away once the show is over.”

The Tony Blair Sneer Review (24/06/2024)

The awful bastards of Reform Ltd wrangled four seats from a thoroughly fucked off electorate, which is an improvement over UKIP’s ineffective one, but still insubstantial.

The 14% they managed, plus the Tory’s miserable 24%, shows, resoundingly, that people aren’t that stoked on Neoliberalism and that folk have had enough of Brexit. We’ve moved on from the self-inflicted bloody nose we gave ourselves in 2016, and it turns out that actual Conservatives might not be too keen on the simpleton student politics we’ve been forced to deal with for decades now. I won’t bother going on about electoral reform as that is only popular outside of the winner’s enclosure, like Lord’s reform. Both are the tinsel on the manifesto tree, which gets taken down once the election ends. I’d like to see change here, but it’s as likely as Christmas in July.
