So you can take what you want from the Exit Poll and certainly celebrate Labour’s success. But now it seems the UK has its own Trump and Freedom Caucus that will dominate debate because they shout louder than everyone else. Bad things start small. Let’s hope those figures change. #UKGE2024

worries me a bit they eventually re-merge with conservatives, and what that power dynamic eventually looks like. But for today, at least, that is a problem for the future

True. It will undoubtedly push the Conservatives to the Right though, very much like the GOP.

I'm not sure that's going to be the case. The radicalisation of the GOP in America is at last in part down to the gerrymandering of election boundaries. Politicians pick their voters in the USA and it pushes them to the extremes.

How much of the Tory party do you think will splinter off to libdems? Where else can they realistically go? They can’t stay in a Queen Braverman Faragiste party, right?

The number of liberal conservatives is quite small. Many might think they’re better staying and fighting to moderate the worst instincts, like the centrists did in Corbyn Labour.

35 soft right Tories defecting to the Lib Dems would be nice. But they aren't counting tactical voting into the exit poll...

I can't believe France is ahead of UK by multiple years right now on this precise thing. Sadly.
