Or perhaps cut numbers and fees?

It's not a bad idea. It will provide a workforce for the new jobs created in the expanding Brexit economy.

Not before the Tories crank up the tuition fees to punish the impudent whelps for their insolence!

if the Tories do that OR pursue a hard Brexit, the next election will make this one seem like a success for them

Labour will use a new britcoin to pay for all their spending when another election is called later in the year and Labour walk it. With sterling in the toilet it's prime time to invent a new digital currency that those in early (i.e. the creators, the government, the Bank of England) can cash in by controlling the supply.

Not really. Not much tactical voting went on, just a large flange of naive youngsters rushing out to embrace the notion that they can all go to Uni for free because Jezza is going to write everything off.
They'll learn...............eventually...........and the hard way.

HTH BIDI

The Guardian has a page before the election telling people to vote for their best opposition party if they didn't like the Tories. Since Labour is the best opposition party in most seats and the Lib Dems, Greens etc lost votes in many area there was some tactical voting going on.

In the case of Nick Clegg Sheffield were fed up of him. Last time the Tory voters voted Lib Dem to keep him in and Labour out. This time they decided to screw him as Corbyn isn't a threat.

Well turned out I was right.

Tactical voting may have worked.

Well turned out I was right. Yet again.

Well if the exit poll is anything to go by, wee Krankie's hopes of another Indyref are blown out of the water.

Shame.........................

I've no doubt that the Tories will get a thumping majority and shove Brexit down everyone's throats but it does look like Ken Clarke's prediction that in 10 years no-one will admit to having supported Brexit is going to come true.

The UK regrets Brexit

[original PM]

UKIP was a Tory project, created to generate enough national support for leaving the European Union. It has served its purpose now and they can allow it to become its own party to disintegrate in on itself whilst the Tories mop up.

As well as mopping up Labour's lost voters by having vast swathes of Tory votes join Labour in order to put Corbyn in charge.

And of course, you can add in a bit of gerrymandering in time for 2022.

Fooks sake get your tin hat out.

Really it was
