Yeah they have been used, as they won't get the outcome they want. The countries in voting for Boris has voted for the diminishing of works rights more 0 hours contracts, the continued roll out of universal credit and a prob a no deal Brexit that will have a massive impact on GDP, that will mean businesses will lay people off and drive wages down. Not much there for a younger generation. Statistically more young people voted labour, the older the age group there more you vote Tory, 65+ predominantly so.

Boris has pulled the trick of getting people to vote for the status quo, the same government as has driven austerity for a decade yet has got people to believe they will get change.

Labour definitely got the mood of its heartland wrong and should have promised a Brexit that would keep workers rights and protect jobs. I taking a democratic stance they gave an unclear message and have paid the price. Be interesting to see Boris roll back his promises over the coming years and spin it otherwise.

Whats obvious is most have voted regarding Brexit. As you say we don’t really know the deal. It may work, not sure being in the EU actually worked or the people who voted to join in knew what they where voting for at the time.

Leigh is Blue and the town have spoken.

Leyther 14 when you are young you believe in equality of everything, that only white males are racist, that the NHS is unquestionable, that the highly paid will happily pay more tax, that those on benefits are all people wanting to work and that it doesn’t matter if you have a nuclear deterrent or not because all nations feel as you do
The reality is that the pot is only so big, higher tax rates mean less tax income, every race and creed are racist to some degree, the NHS is badly run and as we live longer and find new drugs to extend life decisions have to be made, police have no powers any more, student s rotes need a fekkin good kickin when using the democratic right to protest their forefathers fought for to show no respect etc
Locally what we know is that being taken for granted has seen our proud town on its knees, Labour have taken us for granted at national and local level and we have said enough is enough, first we change our MP then we need to leave Wigan council which imo is rotten to the core, can’t wait for local elections when I pray our ballot choice will be labour and GLOW.
Let’s make our little town great again, I have a feeling we will get huge central support as they will want to keep our votes add that to a ref to get out of this hated council and I will die a happy man
