The country is broadly centre to centre right. To win elections, target them.

Almost. I'd say it is broadly centre-centre left. There is basically one right wing (national) party, and then a bunch of centre/centre left parties and Labour. In terms of overall vote share, the centre-left/left will and almost always does, gather more votes in total than the right.

One problem if FPTP, another is the left parties fighting for the 55% or whatever of the leftish voters and the tories fighting for the other 45%.

Labour being not bonkers means they get to win most of the lefty voters. They and Jeremy Saviour Corbyn seem not to have noticed this.

In fairness to the chipper Tories on here, they've had to listen to a fair bit of the rest of us over the last few months. 

 

 

And had this result been the other way they'd have had to listen to us again.

I am pissed off but this result was not totally unexpected and I don't blame the Tory voters for it. It says it all that the best any of us who are anti Tory were hoping for is a hung parliament. After 9 and half years of the Tories and what they have done any decent opposition with a good leader should have been looking at a majority in this election and the failure for not getting it is on them for not offering up an alternative that enough people could vote for.

I just hope now that things aren't as bad for those who have already had a terrible kicking the last 9 years and in that regard I cling onto the slim chance that now Tories have won some northern towns that are really struggling their approach may be a little different with the intention to hold onto to those voters.

By votes cast it is (or was). Not an exact science, I know, but add up the Labour, LD, SNP, Green etc. votes cast, and then Tory/Brexit Co. etc. votes and generally the centre-left votes are more.

Shame. It would have been the one thing for every decent person to have clung to.

When the cameras went there he looked subdued so I thought he’d gone
