Also note that this doesn't factor in other matters relating to hotels. E.G: The Security for the native workers (that's contracted through different budget), the clothes (contracted through a different budget), their legal representation when their obvious bogus request gets denied (entire law firms are built on it and cost the tax payer billions in "damages" the asylum seeker has "gained" when the courts do another treasonous act of allowing them to stay).

Gaza. People are extremely upset at the predominantly Muslim protests again a war that they either dont care about, or support the other side in. This isnt my point of view, im just stating what ive been seeing.

[@MarkusAldawn]

​@@Vandel96 So if it's what you've been seeing, it _is_ your point of view. Literally- it is the view that you have gotten from your vantage point. View from a point; point of view, it's where the phrase comes from. My point of view, by contrast, suggests the opposite; most people I know oppose the war and are increasingly frustrated by the complicity of our politicians. To know the truth, we would have to look at more objective measurements than our own points of view, such as polling around how people feel about the war in Gaza, who they support, and how it is changing their voting intentions.

Reform might well get more votes than the Lib Dems but it won't translate into seats since Reform's vote is pretty much average across the entire country around 10-20% won't win them a seat. The Lib Dems have strong areas but also areas with no support at all, they could end up winning 50 seats though easily.

[@LS-jv9hp]

@@Talisguy Ah yes people totally want millions of foreigners who hate them, their religion and culture to come in the boat loads. No way thats gonna cause generational issues in health, schooling, demographics, religion, economic and housing. The UK can totally handle that, the economy is in the best place possible for it! Totally not justified to want most of them gone over the literal crisis it's building.

When you talk about overturning majorities it would be helpful if you showed both the previous election's results and the current one. The comparison number you have on screen from around 1:49 is a bit confusing, and you need to stop the video to get the point. Two bars next to each other would show the same thing much better

I fully admit I am both biased and not at all in-the-know when it comes to British politics. But why is it Reform UK that is talked about when both Greens and Lib Democrats got more councillors, I assume also in previously conservative regions, while Reform UK got none? So even if all conservative councils were replaced by Reform UK ones, they would still be a minority, and there would be more seats to gain by appealing to liberal/whateverTheRightTermIs voters?

From an initial look, it looks like Labour have gained greatly in this election. BUT, it also shows the the non-main parties combined have gained more labour have (+183).
