Moments after ballot stations closed at 10pm, the dramatic exit poll was released - showing Sir Keir winning xx of the 650 seats. That would be more than Tony Blair in 1997.

The Tories are expected to be slashed from the 365 secured less than five years ago to just - their worst performance in modern political history.

Meanwhile, the Lib Dems could get xx - and Nigel Farage's Reform insurgents are predicted to have xxx after effectively leeching millions of votes from the Conservatives.

But the scale of defeat could have been mitigated. A new right wing party, Reform, deprived the Tories of multiple dozens seats they could have held on to and possibly even forced Labour into a hung Parliament (Labour was polling around 41%, Tories + Reform combined at 37%ish). The story of the election is anger at the Tories by their own voters for failing to deliver meaningful immigration reform (immigration exploded under the Tories) and failing to do anything to combat the tide of wokism sweeping across British institutions. The center-right as represented by Sunak who, like John Major in '97, will get no credit for staving off recession and taming inflation, was clobbered by the proper right for failing to be sufficiently right wing, although one must acknowledge much of the problem stems from the near-stranglehold progressivism has on British courts and bureaucracy, making the kinds of reforms re immigration and other cultural topics practically unachievable, at least without resorting to scorched earth tactics and drastic reforms and abolition of entities and even courts, which the centrist Tories completely refused to do. but one also has to accept that after 14 years of Tory rule, there's not much to show but multiple failed prime ministers.

Labour will be in power as long as the Tories are bitterly divided between two key blocs that can broadly be pictured as affluent centrists in prosperous southern England counties around London, and working and everyday conservatives in rural areas and smaller towns and coastal communities. Think Greenwich versus Ohio. This election showed the party can no longer have both wings and be happy, but picking one or the other can't deliver it victory either.

The difference in Britain was that Johnson supposedly had some credibility for being a con because of Brexit. But he was ultimately toothless. I'm glad Farage is back because it means there is hope for my boy Zemmour. Similarly Merkel was a supposed "conservative" despite leading the charge of mass immigration. Macron was supposed to be some kind of centrist but he has governed as a progressive.

Which is to say stepping back it looks like Europe is going through their Trumpian MAGA revolution finally. The libs are in a race against time to ruin these countries so it's too late. But the good news is they're all going to die. Tories being done here is wonderful news. Goodbye fags! Until they reinvent themselves as UKIP/Reform they deserve to lose. This is like running Nikki Haley against Bernie Sanders. Of course Bernie is the better option.
