[I make the assumption that any person who wanted some form of Leave would vote Tory]
43.6 % of the electorate clearly voted to Leave the EU. It is not clear, and remains to be seen, the % for Leave with a deal, versus Leave with no deal. Anyone with basic arithmetic can see that 56.4% of voters did not vote Tory – unless of course the latest lie we have to swallow is that 43.6 is a bigger number than 56.4?
NOTE: Only 20% of the population actually voted for the sum of one or other form of Leave
Labour was committed to a second referendum, Lib Dems were committed to revoke Article 50 and SNP were firmly against Leave at any cost. In general terms 56.4% of the electorate voted for some form of Remain or potential Remain
In truth (not popular these days) 80% of the people who are affected by the Tory vote were on the side of some form of potential Remain.
These figures may be interesting in themselves and may suggest that in a rather indirect manner the electorate and the population of the UK were on the side of some form of Remain in Europe.
I want to focus of the 3,648,732 Tory majority. General elections in the UK have always followed the ‘2 million floating voters‘ principle that has held since 1945. This result breaks that mold. My question is ‘how likely is it this is a genuine result?’ Many people in a sort of denial make claims the election was rigged. The standard response is to label them ‘cranks or conspiracy theorists’. That may be true but who knows for sure?
I would like to take a provocative look at the 3.6M Tory majority and let people decide for themselves. I would like to do this with a number of tests:
Test 1: Overwhelmingly, the WASPI women would vote Labour like turkeys voting to cancel Xmas. There are 3.8M WASPIs. Deduct those who did vote Labour – this is still a very big number.
Test 2: Young people, people in education but faced with UNI fees or a legacy debt and young voters who were not eligible in 2016. Those looking for a future within the EU who see the EU as a massive market for their skills and develop their experience. All those people would most likely vote Labour. Deduct those who did, would still be a very big number.
Test 3: People who rely on or have family who rely on the NHS or the vast number of people who work in the NHS would overwhelmingly vote Labour. Deduct those who did, would still be a very big number.
Test 4: The Muslin community demonised and insulted by Tory bigotry and racism form almost 6% of the UK population would overwhelmingly vote Labour. Deduct those who did, would still be a very big number.
Test 5: The Black and Caribbean community especially anyone with a crumb of sympathy or anger over Grenfell Tower who have been demonised and insulted by Tory bigotry and racism who represent over 3% of the UK population would overwhelmingly vote Labour. Deduct those who did, would still be a very big number.
Test 6: People who have suffered or who have lost family or friends or parents of the 4 million children currently living in poverty; all due to the unnecessary Tory choice of austerity would overwhelmingly vote Labour. Deduct those who did, would still be a very very big number.
Test 7: People who fear that the UK will not get a deal with the EU and the UK would crash out with no deal and whose job or in many cases company would be closed or downsized would overwhelmingly vote Labour. Deduct those who did, would still be a very big number
Of course there could be many other valid tests and many other factors to the contrary like media influence, demonisation of the opposition etc
However, here we have 7 very clear, very obvious and valid tests. Could they be true?
Could the sum total of all those tests and other tests still not add up to less than that 3.6 million majority?
If the think that the answer is NO or unlikely and you are certainly not a conspiracy theorist then you may ask yourself
a) Could they rig the election? – YES of course,
b) would they rig the election? – YES of course,
c) Did they rig the election? YOU DECIDE …
… and finally, before the election Jeremy Corbyn was the challenger. Did they say he was bad for WASPI women, young people, the NHS dependents, the Muslin community, the Black and Caribbean community or the poor suffering under austerity? He was clearly under attack, relentless attack. Was it his manifesto was too progressive, too good or too unfair?
No, that was not the attack – it was because he was perceived to be not tough enough on anti-Semitism or that he himself was anti-Semitic.
Just think about the contrast in the paragraphs above. Was Corbyn too concerned about the people of the UK when he should have bowed to the overwhelming Zionist Lobbies and been more concerned about Israel?
I will just leave that there for you to think about …
