Given this result and Trump's planned tariffs and threats to leave NATO I think it probably now becomes imperative we rejoin the EU in some fashion.
Obviously that will go down like a lead balloon to many in the country but the UK is sh*t out of options and not doing it will see our growth halve (an estimate given by The National Institute of Economic and Social Research the oldest independent economic institute in the UK) and leave us massively exposed to Putin. |
Don't panic we have a FREE TRADE DEAL with the EU. |  | | |

To me, someone who spends time on both sides of the pond this is not solely about politics, this is also about morals
Trump is a felon, a racist, a bigot, a sexist so if people think the rhetoric he spouts is alright with them it says a lot more about what people think is acceptable and that to me is a damning indictment |
Obviously 45% of Latinos and a large surge of support from Black males don't agree with you. Many of them see mass immigration as undercutting their jobs and standard of living. | | | |

Oh, how funny it has been seeing the liberal elites all throw tantrums over the election results here in the US.
Americans do not like being told how to think, what to support or being labeled 'fascists' because they have a different view to the person assigning this label. Likewise Americans, by their very nature, are quite conservative. The whole transgender nonsense (allowing men into womens sports) did not sit well (as the election shows) with the silent majority all while the shameless left patted themselves on the back and continued to hide the obvious: Biden's mental capacities severely diminished.
In the years following 2016 Americans did very well from the Trump presidency until COVID.
If Trump is a 'fascist' then why did his share of the black community, Jewish community and Latino community soar?
I did not vote for Trump (nor Harris) but can understand why a lot of people did. |
Good to hear a balanced American view, as others have said watching the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth by the British intelligentsia is enormous fun this side of the Atlantic.
Those that dismiss Americans generally and Trump supporters specifically as stupid are clueless bigots. I know many Trump supporters who are highly intelligent and know the man is flawed, but due to the polarisation in the USA and the weakness of the opposition - senile old man with pedo allegations from his daughter and cackling hyena in jump suit (their words not mine) feel there was absolutely no choice, but to vote Trump rather than the death cult democrats.
I feel the string puller elites know that the woke game is up and the trend is back towards conservatism. The staged fake assassination attempt gave Trump even more kudos as they wanted and as with the covid panto he will be given a big role in the next black swan event.... | |

Unfortunately, both Starmer and Trump will damage the UK economy.
The UK is a highly open economy, which means that imports and exports are a high percentage of the economy. In the tariff war that is probably coming, open economies will get hit hardest. We will be collateral damage between the main protagonists, but we may get hit hardest of all because we're so open. I can't really see Trump agreeing to sweetheart deals with the UK when our foreign secretary called Trump "a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser” (this also shows that he isn't fit to be foreign secretary but that's a different story).
Our only option is to boost the domestic economy with business friendly policies that generate growth. Unfortunately the budget has shown that Labour's talk before the election about prioritising growth was simply lies. |
Exactly. It's funny how the people that are wetting themselves about the damage Trump will cause the UK economy are the same people that were praising Reeves's budget, despite that immediately and more directly impacting us.
They've now got their scapegoat when our economy tanks I suppose. |  |

If Trump imposes tariffs on British goods(and EU goods) there will be tariffs slapped on US imports creating a stalemate. 82% of Britain's GDP are services compared to only 18% manufacturing so we will be less impacted than most.
China on the other hand have a huge trade imbalance with the US in manufacturing and will feel the pain. | | | |

No, unfortunately not a stalemate. Everyone loses. It's well established, both in theory and practice, that trade is beneficial for both sides. Tariffs reduce trade and reduce GDP - that's why nations invest decades in negotiating tariff free trade agreements.
It's not just an issue for manufacturing (we have massive services exports to the US) and it's not just an issue for exports (tariffs on imports push up inflation, as the US will find out). Even if we don't put tariffs on our imports, we will suffer from the global hits to GDP and inflation, and if we are one of the few major economies without tariffs we risk becoming a dumping ground.
There are massive economic benefits to free trade blocks and tariff free trade. They are about to be thrown away for "populist" (i.e. dumb) reasons. | | | |

It would be interesting to see if 2TK will reach out to the obvious choice of Nigel Farrage to negotiate a free trade agreement.
Starmer has never worried about swamping allegiances, ask Corbyn.

As much as I'm loving the libtard fallout, I am getting Antichrist vibes, first Trump miraculously survives the Hollywood staged assassination attempt and is resurrected to get the iconic photo fist pumping the air with the US flag behind and now he has the triumphant second coming back into Washington.
looks like the Deep state won this (s)election again. They must have a big job lined up for him. | |

I think it's a reminder that the US is a center right country. Voters ousted him after one term on the promise of more moderate, centrist and unifying leadership from Biden. They got very little leadership at all - he quickly was removed from public view as he went downhill cognitively. He should've steeped aside years, not months, ago. Instead, he stuck it out until there was a coup and ultimately voters were left with two poor choices (and Harris' VP choice was beyond a joke - worse than Palin in 2008, - it exposed her as weak and insecure; had she picked Shapiro they would've stood a much stronger chance of winning).
The massively low turnout for Harris vs Biden in 2020 (69mn vs 81mn in 2020) shows that there was limited resolve for people to "vote against" Trump given what they were served up for the last 4 years. Some of the more loony left stuff (think doubling down on in tact biological men's rights to be fully naked in women's changing rooms) also gave more rightward leaning voters a veil to hide behind rather than expose their more backward opinions.
Ultimately Trump's bark is worse than his bite and a lot of the rhetoric is a negotiation tactic as we saw last time round. Effectively the US has gone without any real Presidential leadership now for 8 years. Hopefully it and the world can muddle through another 4 and maybe a credible centrist Dem caucus emerges in time for 2028 rather than feeling they have to lean even further left. | | | |
