AUTHORIATIVE GUIDE : LCD Views feels compelled to provide three things quickly, here and now.
1. An analysis of yesterday’s local election results, as informed by the insights of BBC political journalists.
2. A re-analysis of the 2017 General Election results, in light of what we have learned from 1.
3. A guide to how to vote in the European Parliament elections on 23rd May, taking what is now known from 1. and 2. Indeed in any future election, should we be lucky enough to have one. Not that we can work out why we would, as the people had a vote, so they don’t need another. Ever.
1. Yesterday showed a dramatic revival of the Liberal Democrat vote and a welcome surge for the Greens, whose main agenda is not important as climate change is a hoax and we’ll all be fine, even after we’ve cooked and eaten the last sodden polar bear. Still, it’s good to have the colour green for our graphs.
Also a mass spike for Independents. But analysing that is too hard for the BBC at this stage, so it can’t be important, so we will also ignore it here.
Make no mistake about what occurred yesterday.
Voters slapping the Conservative Party of government and abandoning the official opposition Labour Party in waves, this was a pro-Brexit vote evidenced by millions of voters displaying their rage by voting for pro-EU parties.
Voters are inherently passive aggressive. This is how they send a message. By punishing a party they show they want the party to hit them harder. It’s not rocket science. It’s democracy rocket science.
It’s obvious. Next time you witness a shattered glass jump off the floor and reform on a table you will see why.
Ask any taxpayer funded, politcal expert.
It’s blindingly obvious that voters now vote for the parties they most disagree with. This will only continue. Up is now down. Clear is now mud.
This was a victory for Labour’s Brexit fudge and the Tories toxic “F business” shambles. Expect them to double up on efforts to get Brexit delivered now people have sent a clear message they want that, by voting for parties with opposing manifestos.
2. In light of what we learned in the local elections yesterday we must now re-visit the general election result from 2017.
Anyone who voted Conservative in that GE did so in support of Labour’s opposition to austerity and to force the Tories to renationalise first jam making, them trains, but jam first. Today. Not tomorrow.
Voting for Tories is the way to force them to work with our international partners to force Amazon to pay tax, rather than strip the assets off elderly people to pay for Amazon not paying tax.
Anyone who voted for Labour did so in furious opposition to Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership (using the term loosely) and because they wanted strong and stable leadership under Theresa May to continue. Indeed, they voted Labour expecting to increase the Tory majority in government.
Lots of Labour voters were bloody surprised when voting for Labour didn’t strengthen May’s hold over parliament and result in an instant “we hold all the cards” Brexit crash out. No one voted for Labour believing they were really anti-Brexit and just playing mind chess on a plane mortals can’t access, but the magic grandfather (and his friends with curious links to the Kremlin) can.
So that’s clear now too. We’re sure Norman Smith will be along soon to say he’s worked it out. Probably after reading this article.
3. Taking what is now apparent from 1. and 2. when you enter the booth to cast your ballot on May 23rd do the following,
If you want a No Deal Crash Out WTO Brexit NOW vote Liberal Democrat, Green, SNP, Plaid or any of the other pro-EU parties.
This will send another message to Labour that they need to firm up their support for any Brexit. And get Brexit delivered so you will vote for them again. John McDonnell is listening. Message will be received.
But, if you want to stop Brexit in its tracks, so this attempt to destroy progressive politics is halted and prevent the U.K. becoming a feudalist-capitalist economy where you die if you can’t pay for healthcare, then you must vote for Nigel Farage. That is the only way Labour and Cons will see they must stop with their conspiracy and halt Brexit.
At worst voting for Farage will get you a people’s vote on any Brexit deal Lab and Con cook up.
There. Learn your lessons well and the next time you shower, do it in the toilet with your clothes still on.
Thank you. Spread the word. We have received a message yesterday and received it with our fingers firmly in our rears, because that’s where our ears are, because they’re attached to the sides of our heads, and that’s where are heads are.
