UK election - need your opinions of the significance of this.
I'm overwhelmed by the impeachment proceedings.
Bottom line? The Brits are fed up with the left's' shit.

1. Jeremy Corbyn is an exceptionally unpopular and unlikable politician. He lost it for Labour.
Had someone else been heading up the Labour Party, they might have won this election instead of suffering the biggest loss in about 90 years.

2. I am worried the Conservatives might sell out the NHS
That would be disastrous. It is the Conservatives that have weakened it, and then they give excuses as to why they don’t need it. Sounds similar to what the Repukes do here.
If getting the Brexit issue over was the big factor, sounds like the British are becoming as dumbed down as Americans.
I have always liked Corbyn as New Labour is too much like New Dems. He has fought them.
The Brexit issue in a nutshell:
EU tells Briton what to do, what to buy, where to fish, who to allow in, what laws need replacing, etc.
The people had enough of that shit- forced a vote that the government thought would go their way.
It didn't and BREXIT. Government welshed (sorry) on the vote and lied to the people over and over.
People fed up with it- voted into power someone who said they would force BREXIT. Rest of government welshed again and lied again and again to the people while calling them stupid and racists. Johnson forced an election and the people swept the left out of power.
It remains to be see if the government continues to lie and refuse to do as the people have voted.
DU reaction= They be racists and stupid!

17. All the warning signs were there and they doubled down
Bad frontman who lacked the ability to sell an extremely ambitious platform.
