| Britain's Election Disaster: Tories Lose Majority |
| 2017-06-09 |
| [PJ] On June 3, PJ Media reported that although Theresa May's Conservatives still had an edge in the general election polls, the socialist Labour Party was catching up. Well, according to Sky News, Britain will indeed have a "hung parliament," meaning that the Tories have lost their majority and can only remain in power by forming a coalition government. |

| #13 "We couldn't have predicted it, and there was nothing we could do to stop it" I remember that. It sounds just like typical American political blather that indicates they will do better without taking blame for failure. I guess I underestimated the response that would get. |

| #12 I can understand how Conservatives lost, but I cannot fathom how Labour, after Rotherham, gained seats. |

| #11 I paraphrase. She said something like, 'We couldn't have predicted it, and there was nothing we could do to stop it.' My response was must not have read any Israeli news for the last 10 years. |

| #10 The problem is that the trajectory of the country is not really affected by political events or elections. Brits will not be able to vote themselves out of this trajectory. |

| #9 "May's response to the London Bridge attack lost them the election." I thought she had a tough response, was that what did her in, or was it too little too late? Or did I misread her response entirely? |

| #8 London has a Muslim mayor and he's apparently feeling no blowback over the latest attack there. The Brits may be done. They apparently have no will to fight. |

| #4 It could be the remainaics in the Tory party tried to throw the election. I saw zero campaigning and the campaign management was awful. Then all the terrorism happened and the response was dismal. Plus Corbyn ran a Trump style meet the people thing where he went up and down the country. He mainly met activisits BUT they liked it and went out. TMay? Did feck all. |

| #3 Ulster Unionists will give them just a majority. May's response to the London Bridge attack lost them the election. |

| #2 So this Trump's comeuppance, right? Or at least it is bad news for Trump? Or more Russian meddling? |

| #1 Maybe, just maybe, if the Tories weren't imitating Labor with respect to Islamic invasion... |
