So...overall look like left has won (in Spain). Vox did particularly badly which is a relief.

 

messy outcome...often the case with PR. They could need another election.

Ok..but I mean do the maths.

Anyway, from what I can gather there is a massive anti govt feeling amongst Tory voters  but they're not necessarily going to labour, they're not necessarily going anywhere yet.

Lol what?

Well yes the Tories are going to be transphobic to get the bigots vote. That's obvious.

Labour would be really daft if they overthink this and backtrack. Surely sensible green policies are pretty popular

Labour voters more incentivised to vote labour, where as tory voters are disillusioned but don't want to vote for any opposition. It is a huge win for labour no doubt, the seat is usually super safe tory...but that could change and quite possibly will at the general election.

tory voters are happy enough with tory govt, so they might go vote tory to keep a tory govt.

Of course labour could lose Selby, but that doesn’t mean they don’t win the election. Winning seats like Selby only extends a big majority.

Not saying they won't win the election. Just saying that might not.
