Well that went well.
I still believe that Boris is and will be a terrible PM. That said the result suggests I am in a small minority.
It also clearly demonstrates the clear majority want the Brexit deal. The poor performance of the Lib Dem’s leaves that in no doubt.
As much I am opposed to Borris I think on reflection this election clarifies what the majority wants and can’t be argued with. I don’t like it, but there you go.
I for one welcome our new tousle haired overload.
Even most that don’t particularly like Boris, will still be happy corbyn didn’t win? If people were voting to avoid the worst outcome, then that must have been Corbyn’s labour in most cases.I still believe that Boris is and will be a terrible PM.

Boris’s speech today pledging huge spending increases and ending austerity, plus environmental commitments means Boris might actually turn out to be the one nation Tory he always said he was.
Going to be interesting to see how he goes now that he’s got that massive majority. We’ll finally see who the real Boris is now, I think most centrists will end up happy enough in time.
t mental. A flesh wound as opposed to losing your head.

I agree with much of this, but this wasn't just about brexit. He has 44% of the vote which is a very good win, but in no way a majority wanting his Brexit. The Tories have gained 1.2% compared to 2017, the LDs gained 4.2%.I still believe that Boris is and will be a terrible PM. That said the result suggests I am in a small minority.

What this is is a massive condemnation of the soon to be departed Labour leader and front bench.
If the opposition weren't so woeful I suspect it'd be very different.

I'm a Tory voter and I think most would agree with youIt also clearly demonstrates the clear majority want the Brexit deal.
No - we want to be out of the EU - the deal stinks
The point many miss is that there was no other alternative, if there was a box "none of the above" there would have been a landslide.

I still hold true to that statement. Furthermore I stated he was a liberal conservative at heart. If the Conservatives follow through with the promises made then that would seem to confirm that.
Nonetheless the Conservatives still only received a minority of the vote even excluding Scotland and NI so there are >14M non Tory voters who will want to see him try and mend the rift that exists in our nation.

So in my opinion the people with the contrary view like me, need to get over it and do our best to help the deal succeed.
That’s not to say we shouldn’t continue to hold Boris to the closest scrutiny though.

I agree. So in my opinion the people with the contrary view like me, need to get over it and do our best to help the deal succeed.

We need to hold him and his government to account.
At least the Labour Party may now have the opportunity to rebuild. Not sure who could lead them though.
I can’t see why anyone would want to be a politician. It’s hardly a life of Riley and it’s woefully paid.
For what it’s worth, I was the only person in my office who voted to leave - many of my colleagues were ardent remainders. Yet this morning my poll revealed that everyone - bar one who went Lib Dem - voted for Boris.
It seems that when push came to shove, the threat of Corbyn pushed people over the fence towards voting for Boris, even if they weren’t fans of his or Brexit in general.
In many ways, Corbyn has proved to be the best Christmas gift Boris and the Conservatives could ever hope for!
