United Kingdom defence minister Fallon says government views on Brexit haven’t changed

Only the Tories’ strong performance in Scotland, where they took a dozen seats from the Scottish National Party (SNP), has given them any comfort.

The Conservative leader has been warned that her days are numbered after calling Thursday’s vote three years early, only to lose her majority in parliament.

Her party is deeply divided over what it wants from Brexit. In fact, all the opinion polls initially predicted the same. May had campaigned personally.

No turnout figures for young voters have yet been released. Despite Conservative efforts at voter suppression, making it more hard for students and young people to register to vote, this has been an electoral turnaround powered by a wave of radical hope among the young, with registration and voter turnout spiking in university constituencies.

“The people voted previous year to leave the European Union, full stop”.

“And eventually Harold Wilson managed to form a government”.

By abandoning the neo-liberal consensus of the past thirty years and embracing ideas like nationalisation, increased public spending on welfare, stricter regulation of the market, and enhanced protections for workers, Corbyn has shown that addressing the economic causes of popular discontent represents the best way to combat the virulent racism and authoritarianism of the right. “It is far from guaranteed to vote the deal through”.

If Theresa May survives her own MPs in the initial post-election fall-out, she still faces major hurdles when they return to Parliament next week. Little support for them may indicate that Brexit was not on the top priority of English voters.

She also reiterated that she would seek a reciprocal agreement early in the talks on rights of European Union and British citizens, Downing Street said. “Of course, the core message was all lost because of the cacophony of noise we were making about social care, and so we were having to fight fires that we created ourselves rather than exposing the Labour Party’s insane manifesto”.

“Jeremy Corbyn gave us power, that’s what he’s all about”. Labour, written off as nearly unelectable just weeks ago, surpassed expectations by securing 261 seats in a last-minute surge of support.

But one of the most important lessons of the Corbyn comeback is that the truth, so often dismissed as the first casualty of politics, can be an effective weapon. He attacked the vested interests of rich, and put the interests of the common man and woman at the center of his appeal. It doesn’t seem a move in that direction is imminent though because Tory leaders know they have a lot to lose.

Politically disengaged and alienated people felt that politics could be different.

Even before the question of a working relationship emerged, the DUP would normally vote with the Conservatives.

British Prime Minister Theresa May’s two top aides resigned Saturday in the latest fallout from the election that was supposed to be an easy victory for the Conservative Party but ended up being a huge disaster. She obtained Queen Elizabeth’s approval to form a new government and will ally Conservatives with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party, which won 10 seats.

Political momentum now sits squarely with the Labour Party. The parliamentary theatre served their interests, whereas the masses were pawns in their game. This has fundamentally changed now as Corbyn has empowered the common people. But the most important lesson from the United Kingdom election is that some of the most important truths that the media won’t touch are not necessarily to be feared by genuine political leaders.
