UK is kill.

Looking like it. Enjoy the economic down turn and hits to social services, please try not to splash the rest of the world as you sink yourself.

Our economy, on news of the 80-odd likely Tory majority, did a nosedive.

Upwards.

The pound rose against the dollar, to $1.35, and rose against the Euro to the value it was a couple of months prior to Article 50 being enacted. Probably a reaction to the most certainty there's been in the last three years.

This is also, of course, prior to the Brexit deal at the end of January, after which nobody knows how imports and exports work to and from Europe, and we don't know how to process goods to and from Northern Ireland.

Then 11 months 'til Brexit actual at the end of the year, for a Canada-style deal which took the Canadians 7 years to hammer out.

I imagine the NHS will be sold out to the Americans, too.

Edit: Jo Swinson, Lib Dem leader, self-described challenger for the office of prime minister, lost her seat in Dunbartonshire East to the SNP, by 149 votes.

Scotland gets 55 out of 59 seats for the SNP

  yeah I agree with this reading. For the market this is good news insofar as it voids a hung parlament, probably

[hector13]

They've revised that down to 52.

Or 53, they don't seem sure. Scotland's apparently challenging to poll.

[ChairmanPoo]

It's still an amazingly good result for the SNP, isn't it?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

SNP is more of a win by default in my eyes. It's not exactly like Scottish Tories or LibDem have any chance of doing anything unless they get handed a strategic vote scenario. SNP wins because Labour loses. Still a good staging ground for the independence fight they're likely going to embark on now, though.

Frankly, I'm hoping for a dissolution of the UK after tonight. There's no saving the English from themselves, but the rest don't deserve to burn with them.

[hector13]

On the one hand, sure. The Scots have taken their time, but they know that the main British parties can't represent them properly in Westminster, and it gives them a strong hand going forward, especially into the 2021 Scottish elections.

On the other hand, it won't change anything because the Tories have nothing to lose by ignoring Scotland saying they don't want to come out of the EU.

[ChairmanPoo]

What about an Indyref2? That was part of the SNP's campaign and it would seem to suggest that the idea is gaining track among the Scottish, no?

[hector13]

I think that being part of their campaign was more to see whether or not it was a turn off.

To put it bluntly, The Tories are cancer in Scotland, and Boris Johnson is the biggest tumour. The Tories were never going to do well - their haul of 13 seats in 2017 was their best performance since 1992, when they won 11 seats - and Labour, despite being the powerhouse in Scotland since WWII, don't seem to be able to convince the Scots they're any better.

I always find it amusing when people forget about the Welsh.

Not to mention the 1,367,764 people in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Lol.

Which was opposed to who, the Cornish revolutionaries?
