General Election 2024: Landslide Labour Win

[Mister M]

On the Conservative Party thread, there was a discussion about the Tories dwindling majority from 87 to 44, and I posted the question, does this Parliament hold the record for most MPs lost by 1 party in a single Parliament?

The answer is no. The one that holds that dubious record is the one previous where Bozo sacked a load of Tory MPs for not supporting Brexit.

The parliament we have now is 2nd on the list for losing most MPs.

it is like the benefits system — there will be a minority that abuse it, but overall it is doing good.

 

Don't let the tiny minority affect helping the folk that do need it. If you can deal with the dishonest minority then great, but if not then don’t let that stop the good work helping the folk that are desperate and absolutely do need it.

I do agree with this and it is a pity when I do see people abusing the system openly.  A few years ago there were a half dozen people who used to catch the bus outside St Wilfreds/The Earl of Arundal pub after going for a free dinner and then staggering out of the pub drunk and bragging about it to everyone on the bus.

The Tory party would still have a bigger majority if the Tory MPs had continued to support Boris Johnson.  The majority has dwindled due to self inflicted problems caused by Tory MPs and a lack of loyalty.

The real problem is the total arrogance of the Tory MPs. Far too many of them believe that they are above the law. So they’ve spent their time committing fraud, sexual assaults and other despicable acts, rather than representing their constituents.

 

 

That’s why people want rid of this shower. Their moral standards are simply intolerably low.

The anti Tory nonsense still continues even though there is no Tory thread any longer.  If you had stated there was an arrogance of all MPs then you would have some credibility because MPs from all political parties have done wrong things which you have listed.

It’s the Tories who  are leading the way in the crooked politician olympics. They’ve won almost all of the gold medals this term.

 

I’m simply reflecting the view of the vast majority of the population that this bunch of Tories are a corrupt, immoral disgrace. If you and the other remaining Tory devotees don’t recognise that quickly and take action, there will be no Tory Party left.

 

I’m rather hoping that you keep your head up your backside and that you  refuse to acknowledge reality.

You really have to wake up one day and realise and appcept not just Petty Tom but myself and the vast majority of the Country have seen all the chaos, fraud, sexual assaults, sexual acts in Parliamentry offices been committed and bare faced lies especially from Boris Johnson's gob,  who you pathetically adore, wake up.  When Labour do get it will be easy bexause all they have to do  is exactly the opposite to the Tory Regime the result will then be, the Country running properly and no skullduggery.

Why do you think that the parliaments which hold the record for the governing party losing most of its MPs are both attached to Boris Johnson?

Clue: It isn't a coincidence.
