Canada 1993. Brian Mulroney took a conservative majority government & reduced it to 2 seats. It takes special talent to destroy a political party.
Next election we’ll demolish the tories and Labour
What a disaster bringing down a whole party they were crushed
and just like now, there was a Reform Party in 1993 that split the right. That party would eventually morph and combine with Mulroney's party and birth the modern Cons, who are currently flirting with some casual far-rightism.
The Tories used that talent on themselves.
CONGRATULATION to UK for getting rid off TORIES. In an article for Winchester College in 1996, as 16 year old student RISHI SUNAK bitterly opposes Labor Party,s proposed minimum wage of 3,5 pound an hour. From privilliged familly and future Billionaire opposing minimal wage of 3,5 pound an hour necessary to keep millions of poor working class surviving capitalist exploitaitation, should have never been British PM. Normal person can stant the sight of this "politician"
Socialists really have no fecking clue do you
The minimum wage has been a disaster.
@@jimthompson9370 I know, it's not high enough.
Congrats on getting rid of the Tories? We're no better off with Labour! They ruined the country before the Conservatives got in. We're screwed until Reform get in power 5 years from now.
"The conservative party has let you down" - "and I was one of those who never wanted to listen to you". Fixed that for you, Cruella, you're welcome.
She does realize that those who she seeks support from would want her deported, right? Am I crazy to suggest that?
@@davidpeterson5647 Her own policy would deport her.
Leftists really are the most racist, misogynistic hypocrites - what’s the matter are you angry that the brown lady doesn’t vote the way brown ladies are supposed to? 😭
@@davidpeterson5647Wrong. We wouldn’t. We do want much much lower numbers though and Islam gone.
She makes me feel sick - how did she get re-elected?
Congratulations to Great Britain. 🎉🇬🇧🎉🇬🇧🎉🇬🇧
😂😂😂😂
We're fucked!
We've now got to let things get worse before the nations idiots catch up.
More like congratulations to the Parties of Davos. The Uniparty wins again.
The Conservative Party has always let the UK down but the only time it ever apologises for being a terrible political choice is after a huge election loss.

THE POINT is that GREED of THIS PEOPLE, BORN INTO PRIVILLIGED RICH FAMILY thinking people on minimum wage should not even earn certain wage,I am sure they were used to this in India CAST SYSTEM that masses starve while elite owns everything
I seriously doubt that your statement that Jeremy Corbyn was elected on a Pro-Palestinian ticket has any validity to it. It's more that his past work in his constituency earned him the trust of his voters. If you meant the *other* independents were elected on a Pro-Palestinian ticket, you're probably right but your wording was poor as it seemed to include Corbyn + the others.
True. I hope Jeremy makes a valuable contribution from the back benches
I love JC. I hope he keeps his seat for as long as possible.
Apparently the record for the oldest MP historically is held by Samuel Young, who continued to serve his constituents until his passing at age 96. So, our Jeremy still has around 20 years or so to go! 😊
Nigel Garage 😂 😂
Garbage, more like.
did mommy not love you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
he got more votes than the Lib Dems but ended up with so many less seats , 14 % and 4 seats to 12 % and 71 seats .yes he is a loser
Who gave Boris an 80 seat majority in 2019 = NIgel Farage with his Brexit party
Who destroyed the Conservatives in 2024 = Nigel Farage
Who gave Labour a overwhelming majority Yesterday = Nigel Farage.
Labours huge majority is stacked up like a pyramid of playing cards so who will decide if it stays standing = Nigel Farage.
And he did it by standing as a candidate not an MP in 4 weeks and 3 days.
WATCH THIS SPACE
Make the Rich and The City pay for the cost of living crisis. Its high time they start paying their fair share.
Except it's entirely unfair they have such an outsized share of our productivity.
Whoops, there's me being all Utopian.
That's funny how you think the few dollars you pay in taxes is what keeps your country afloat. Even with tax breaks the mega rich pay more money than you've ever seen.
@@ChrispyNut can't see how someone who just parasitize workers have such a high produtctivity.
@@ChrispyNut haha dont see the millionaires and billionaires doing any work.
The Tories have massively increased the tax burden on the the rich while the lowest income are paying less tax than ever. At this point many of us are leaving the UK because it just doesn't pay to work in the UK any more given how much the government will take and how high costs are here compared to other countries. My unpopular opinion is that part of the reason why growth has been so bad under the Tories is that taxes and regulation have crushed productivity. Labour would be smart to not exacerbate these problems since lacklustre growth is why we haven't been able to significantly increase tax revenues in recent years.
Dear Channel 4, your report was incorrect when it said that 'Jeremy Corbyn was elected on a pro Palistinian platform', he is pro-world peace, not pro Palistinian (which slyly insinuates anti-isreali/antisemit); he got elected because he personally serves his constituents, effectively, for over 40 years, and his campaign simply tapped into that multicultural local respect.
One underrated thing coming out of last night.
There are some really great placenames, hats, and robes in British politics.
I didn't vote labour because they changed the party. I voted tactically against the Tories. This country needs proportional representation so people can vote for who they really want. The low percentage of votes Labour got and the low turnout shows I am not alone. The interview with Liz Kendall shows that at least some in that party don't get it.
I like the way Suella Braverman doesn't think that she was part of problem. Isn't Keir Starmers' wife lovely? I was expecting Bet Lynch.
she's vile
There’s a lot of weird bots in here ineffectively trying to criticize a flourishing democracy….
When a party with < 40% gains such a majority, it's less a sign of a flourishing democracy than a failing political system that cannot handle a system where more than 2 parties exist that hold, combined, 80% or more of the vote. If we assume that 3 or 4 parties, each with 20+ % of the vote, will be a regular thing in Britain, you desperately need some kind of reform. And don't even get me started on all the political hacks in the House of Lords.
Jeremy Corbyn got more votes
Corbyn 0/2 vs Starmer 0/1.
Is that Sunak’s wife? I thought it was his 12 year old daughter! I don’t know if he even has a daughter but that’s what she looked like.
Some sense has returned to the UK at last. Congratz
Reform defeated the Tories not Labour .
Reform simply picked up the disaffected fascist vote
Reform stole Labour & Tory votes.
Reform only have one policy they appeal to a demographic of little Britain
Who’s reform ?
Landslide in name only , people voted to kick the Tory’s out rather than the red tory boy
Sour grapes much?
It seems the English got tired of the poor governance of the conservatives. It took them long enough.
My sentiment too. UK like to claim they are tolerant, but really they are cap doffing, obedient and passive.
Only 14 years....
@@smellslikethinice1107 that is true, sadly.

this election is much departure when we see other western countries wherein extreme rightist parties / ultra nationalist parties are emerging thru electoral process !
😂😂😂 yeah the rise of the right is due to the failure of the Left, we haven't had a Left wing government.
So look forward to the next 5 years, because by then even the most stupid will see their mistake in voting Labour.

Dear Sir Keir Starmer I love you
you love the guy who protected jimmy and let him off oh says a lot about you
Massive increase thanks to Starmer! a staggering +1.5% compared to the dark ages of Corbyn .. thank god he changed the party!
Cope.
Yes he’s a back stabbing snake who turning to the tories in red with Rachel reeves fiscal rules means more austerity.
Corbyn actually got more votes than Starmer, its just that they concentrated un fewer seats. dont be a blind fool, if reforn hadnt have run, then the tories would still be in power. dont be a D head, dont be a gob S, look at the numbers and be honest, your clearly not a tory, so I will trust that you can at least be honest!
Strange how after 14 years of incompetence they now feel sorry.
@@meticulousgeek you forget Labour would have done a lot worse .
@@user-fz8ep5ey4v I have not much love for Labour and I don't have any inherent hate for the Tories. I'm just glad to see a bunch of clowns gone and it is frankly pathetic that the only thing they have to say is: "I'm sorry". They had 14 years and they blew it. Not only did they ruin the country, they ruined the Tories as well.
Starmer says they did it yet, the reality is that the Tories undid it.
The best thing: NF is out of EU parliament and now in the UK one. As a EU citizen I must say, he is finally where he belongs to.
I wish you great success in your health, love and happiness!

How do people propose to deal with this global climate crisis? The answer is nothing as it is already far, far too late to solve the problem. And reducing emissions in Britain means nothing if China and other developing countries do not do the same. The fact is civilization may not
Survive by continued dependence on oil, but it may also not survive if it stopped using oil altogether, at least right away, and there are so many products made from oil that humans need for a modern society. Going back to a medieval or Stone Age society is simply not possible, given the number of people on the planet, now well over 8 billion. And other environmental problems, like extinction of species of wildlife, have lasted as long or almost as long as humans themselves. These problems simply cannot be solved quickly and will take decades at least, probably centuries to be fixed, and are probably now too big to be solved.
The planet is millions of years old. The climate has changed many times.
@@user-kq4hf8se5bscience, never heard of her.
"reducing emissions in Britain means nothing if China and other developing countries do not do the same" - How often do you think you have to repeat this nonsense to brainwash all into "what we are doing isn't really that bad, so let's keep doing it!"? China does not only produce a lot of the stuff all people around the world consume, thereby contributing to the climate crisis those emissions the consumer countries do not emit because they outsourced the production to China BUT it also installs more renewable power plans every year than the rest of the world combined. Although they produce so much for the whole world and therefore consume a lot of energy, they produced 29.14% of their TOTAL energy from renewables. The UK on the other hand produced 41% of its electricty from renewables but only 6% of its TOTAL energy consumption. What exactly is wrong about that and why should the UK not strive to be at least as good as China since it seems to be obsessed with being "world beating" at everything else?
As per usual, we are lucky to be grace with PhD's in climate science in the comments. Well done guys, your opinion is greatly valued.
@@user-kq4hf8se5b How long do you think you would survive in the climate we had while dinosaurs walked the earth? It is NOT about climate change per se but about climate changing the tiny margin within humans can survive, that is quite a difference!

Congratulations winner is the top public monitoring way power peaceful protest our 🇬🇧 our states too. Namaste.
We wont let you down ya right how many times have we heard that. I dont trust none of you but voted for reform just shame thry didnt get it..
Right, you have your work cut out for you now. GB energy company, the boats will continue to come, sewer keeps flowing into our rivers. With reform lapping at their heels they better take immigration seriously.
Re-institute a proper watchdog authority to go back to monitoring and reporting on the water companies work.
Build that processing centre in France like labour said we should do when we left the eu. (France has agreed to this and was actively pushing our government to do so)
Charge massive windfall taxes to energy companies to jump start GB energy.
I’m very mentally unwell and even I can come up with these answers. D- apply yourself.
So since Sinn Fein likely won’t be seated in Westminster, what functionally happens to those constituencies in NI in regards to getting stuff done?
Well, NI has a devolved government with its own executive and assembly and now that power-sharing has resumed (very much in SF's favor with the 2 additional seats they won,) actual governance should continue as before.
Nothing has changed. SF refuses to abide by the kings parliamentary rules so they don't attend. So they stay home and stamp their feet like normal.
Other than Anderson who crossed over from the Tories all the Reform seats are in seaside towns. What does this pattern mean?
that's a good question... my guess is that the nation is divided not only north/south but east/west as well. So in general the south / west is wealthier than the north / east. In that sense Ashfield is a bit of an outlier but still a post-industrial, old mining area left behind.
Of course Clacton, Basildon, and Yarmouth are in the south but compared to other southern towns and cities they have been largely forlorn, destitute as well as recipients of a number of immigrants which were not met with proportional attempts at integration.. then people like nige exploit the destitute and resentful for his own purposes.
@@mrD66M Yarmouth isn't really the South, Norfolk is more East Anglia but i get your point. Seaside towns where most of the tourism an industry has dried up.

Hey Cath! Why not report from one of the multicultural seats you profess to love so much? Somewhere the Muslim Vote has such influence. You’d be very popular.
Naturally, C4 can't resist stating Labour's vote share since 2019 rose ... by a 'huge' 1.6%. but of course, being C4, also neglect to add that even so, actually Labour polled 500,000+ FEWER VOTES THAN IN 2019. The reason, of course being that with The Tories justly despised by many of their own voters who simply sat on their hands and voted for no one, AND with Labour inspiring zero confidence too, the turnout at this election was abysmally low!
Reform only won 4 seats so why are you emphasising them all the time! Do better journalism.....where's Jon Snow!
Five, and plenty of protest votes.
I've just had a lad speak to me in the street, and he is over the moon that labour has got back in again because he's on the dole claiming benefits, lol 🇬🇧
Ahhh. The glorious scum class. Always abundant.
Yeah Labour are always good for layabouts and immigrants
@mogznwaz that's exactly what I thought
but I didn't say anything. I just laughed and walked off.🏴
No way. People who are down on their luck voted against the party that wants to make things even worse for them? Shocking
@casey2782 the guy thinks he's payment's are going to go back to fortnite instead of monthly lol🏴
Labour got 35% of the vote, less than in 2019. Cons and Reform together had 36%. Where is the landslide?
It's the number of seats that matters not vote share. It has always been this way under FPTP, which was introduced by the Conservatives in 1885. It is quite common for parties to govern with less than 40% of the vote. Of course, you probably didn't mind the system when the Tories were winning (which under FPTP, is most of the time). This time however the Tory vote was split by Reform and many Labour and Liberal voters switched allegiance to vote tactically, hence the lower numbers.
the blue party in the UK is red here and vise versa. President Biden voted for labor and so did UK citizens
erm, if Biden voted in the UK election then I'd say he really needs to have a sit down
Where in the sweet indexicals do you think "here" is in the comments on a Channel 4 video on UA-cam? There are 194 countries in the world that aren't the USA.

After the way Starmer treated Corbyn - a fellow party member - I wouldn't expect much from this man. He appears to follow the Zeitgeist without having any real core values.

Why is everyone glazing Starmer when he barely got more votes than Corbyn?
Irrelevant in our FPTP system, Corbyn 0/2, Starmer 1/1.
i'm really puzzled too... this is all due to Lib Dems and Reform taking votes from the tories.. nothing to do with Starmer.
Yes and I'm very happy with the outcome. Doesn't mean Starmer is popular so it will be a short honeymoon
Notice how the Brexiteers kept mum about the promises they had made, hoping the voters would forget their role in bringing about that disaster.
The Tories campaigned to REMAIN and were the ONLY main party to decide to honour the referendum result. That’s why they were voted for in 2019 - the Tories were the only ones who honoured democracy. Just think about that.
@@mogznwaz the Remainers who ran kept their seats. The Brexiteers lost theirs. Farage only got elected because he exploited immigration.
The fawning over Starmer by the mainstream media is quite nauseating - I don’t remember anything but negativity and attacks straight away when Boris won. Channel 4 is not a news channel it’s a propaganda channel.
