Election Night Live - day one - overnight coverage 

@@JonVoid37Kay Burley isn’t to the left of anything. Sky is famously a centre right channel

Sky edges BBC for me. BBC was all over the place with too much purple

It was good except for the way that Kay Burley kept talking over the results as they were being announced.

chanel 4 had to google the exit poll and write it down on paper useless...

@@paulmasters9306 Because unlike BBC ITV and Sky they do not have access to the exit poll data before it is announced at 10pm.

shame the liberals couldn't beat hunt though

@@ANDY1985UK2011I was shocked by that

​@@TimmyTheTinmanShame Starmer kept his seat.

I would imagine the United States can’t have a national exit poll due to the different time zones, which means various states on the East Coast will have already counted a significant number of votes / been projected for one candidate before the polls on the West Coast closes. Trying to make a national projection on the basis of the East Coast states might also have an adverse effect on how those in the West Coast vote, and tv networks would probably be blamed for that.

@@ANDY1985UK2011 he used his own money to hold on to his seat which sounds so wrong imo

Voter ID laws don't actually work that well in surpressing the vote though, even when in America where they make acquiring the ID even more difficult than here. So we can't explain it away with that at all. Starmer was never going to do better than Corbyn because he was simply not offering anything compelling or transformative. People were simply fed up of the tories after 14 years in power and that was by far the most cited reason for people voting Labour, not that they actually liked any of labour's policies. Corbyn individually may have been unpopular due to the right wing smear campaign against him, but his comparatively radical policies inspired many to vote labour regardless. Whether people loved or hated him he wasn't just another dishonest manipulator. Starmer meanwhile was basically just apeing the tories' ridiculous rhetoric demonising migrants, fiscal spending rules, tougher policing, and performative nationalism. He's just another establishment politician and people sensed it, hence why his personal mandate is so weak. He literally only won because of almost half the former tory vote going to Reform UK and allowing Labour to come through the middle in otherwise unwinnable seats. And of course they also benefited from the SNP collapse in Scotland.

@@ChavvyCommunist He won because he went for seats in areas not popular for Labour. Corbyn always targeted more safe seats so won more votes there. Always a problem and a populist way to do politics. Great short term strategy not so good long term. The JC group if they want one need to target those outside their bubble to win votes to be electable outside of safe seats. I know as I helped JC I tried to explain it would lose us the election but I was not listened too. I was not around or in the party for Starmer but it is why he won.

It would be. I was watching on a channel showing a different camera, and remember him there.

reform will get its chance to expect them come to power in its first election was too deluded for some

Let's hope Reform have a shot at winning next election After the LE Pen disaster though it doesn't look good

Streeting & Phillps just about maintained thier seats & Reform came second in over 100 constituencies. 500,000 more votes & theydve been the opposition Let's hope Reform win next time

@@markjones4704 Reform are literally the same.

@@user-vx9lx9hy4v Party of ex-Tories. No difference.

Yeah the Scottish Conservatives and the Manchester Labour Mayor. Also a couple of Tory MPs appeared. So slightly slanted Tory but mostly unbiased.

And is that Labour’s fault? Or the electorate’s for not voting?? It’s not their fault the Tories have killed everyone’s trust in politics.

Labour ist coming home!

@@christianfunke4697 But they kinda did

To get the tories out of course

Get the Tories out, house building, rail nationalisation, and stability to prevent another economic Truss screw up

​@@callumboscoe8685 but labour are really right wing and are behaving like Tories now.

@@chriswatson3464 so economic responsibility is monopolised by the Tories? That's why Labour keeps losing elections - interest rates are 5% so the era of easy borrowing is over for now

Because they’ve been brainwashed by propaganda and a bunch of lies. Everyone knows Labour won’t do anything different than what we’ve been accustomed to for the last 14 years of Conservative.

The dramatic music 😂😂😂😂

😩😩😩

Did someone have the big O?
