Tories lost because they were crap at government.

Everyone: Why should we vote for you? Labour: We're not the Tories Everyone: True tbf

Funnier still, the Lettuce lost her seat. In 2 years she went from Foreign secretary to Prime minister to International laughing stock to not even being able to get elected to her seat

I've never seen a man so happy about losing his job than Rishi

Jeremy Corbyn 2019 = 10,295,912 = 203 seats Keir Starmer 2024 = 9,712,011 = 412 seats Rishi Sunak 2024 = 6,814,469 = 121 seats Nigel Farage 2024 = 4,091,549 = 4 seats Ed Davey 2024 = 3,696,419 = 71 seats John Swinney 2024 = 708,759 = 48 seats Yeah the Uks system is fucked.

Funniest thing Sunak said was that the UK is in a better financial position now than in 2010... like what fucking planet is he on?

12.2% gets you 71 seats while 14.3% gets you an entire 4 seats. I love democracy Edit: WE JUST MADE IT TO 5 SEATS 🔥🔥🔥

As a Kiwi watching this election I find it crazy that Starmer can win a 400+ seat majority with 33.8% of the vote while Corbyn in 2017 only won 232 seats with 40%, and as much as I detest Reform UK they only win 4 seats with 14.3% while Lib Dems win 71 with 12.2%... Ya'll need proportional representation!

What’s interesting is the combined vote share of the two big parties. In 2017, Tories + Labour weighed more than 80% of the vote ; in 2024 only about 55%. That makes the discrepancy between the vote share and the number of seats much more glaring.

Chief Mouser Larry probably has a fair shot for tory leadership.

You forgot the best thing of all!!!! Jacob Rees-Mogg (the gentleman from the 1800 century) lost his seat!

Can't wait for CGP Grey to make another video about winning 32-34% popular vote means you form the government

“ Larry the Cat “ won the seat uncontested 🐈

"Assemble his first cabinet" *Shows a guy putting a literal cabinet together*

Lizz Truss’ story reminds me of Kim Campbell’s story in Canada. They were both deeply unpopular leaders of floundering parties in their respective countries, and were promptly ousted from their chairs as PM

Finally we had an election where a great number of people voted for parties other than the main two, or for complete independents. And this is with a lot of people voting for the main two because of the fear of 'wasting' their vote.

Absolute machines. To end a stream at 11pm and already have a video out before 10am the following day. Well done team

congratulations to Sinn Fein for getting the most seats in Northern Ireland! they didn't gain a new seat, but they still came out on top!!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> should be noted, the man in charge of the exit poll said reform was their most

No news outlets mentioning Lettuce Truss got a slow clap 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

Sunak is the best Labour supporter this country has ever had 😂

The country that desperately needs a bold leader who can make radical changes, voted for a man who is afraid of being unpopular.

Congratulations UK!

Cat walks by... Cat walks back... Cat get pets.

While I'm personally happy with the result, looking at the vote share vs seat share really does highlight just how messed up FPTP is. Lib Dems are right to be pushing for a change there, though I doubt labour will agree given the circumstances.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="372">6:12</a> “assemble his first cabinet”😂🤣😂

When considering the current administration, 23.7% of voters answered, "Yes, please, more of that." Mind-blowing

And, of course, Wales forgotten again. For those who are interested, here are the headlines: Tories wiped out for first time since 2001. A shock result on Ynys Mon. Not because of the result nationally, which expected the Tory vote to collapse, but because for the first time in its history, the island ejected a sitting MP and went from the Tories to Plaid Cymru. Had it not been for Reform taking 3,000 votes, it's likely that the Tories would have held onto it. Plaid Cymru gained two seats but also, significantly, appear to have increased their share of the vote in every constituency. Surprisingly, Labour's share of the vote dropped in many, if not most, of the seats in Wales. Possibly a hangover with the fact that they've been in power in Wales too long themselves?

Most interesting fact is that Labour went from 32.2% of the vite to only 33.8%. Not even 34% and you get a super majority. Democratic much? Only reasonnthey won is because Conservatives went from 43.6 to 23.8 so actually only 10% less than Labour. People didn't really vote for Labour so much so as they voted against the Conservatives.

Great video, thanks for getting it out so quickly! Must have taken a lot of work.

The greatest thing of all was overlooked! The gentleman from the 1800s, Jacob Rees-Mogg, was ejected from his seat!

now we need rid of the first past the post system!

I once worked with someone who told me the importance of “FU money”… meaning that if all turned to shit at work… he had enough money to walk away and not have a care in the world. The conservatives failed to realise that Sunak came from a such a position.

33.8% of votes getting 63% of the seats. First-past-the-post moment.

Labour got 2.3x the votes of Reform and got 103x the number of seats. Conservatives got 1.6x the votes of Reform and got 30x the number of seats. Lib Dems got 85% as many votes as Reform and got almost 18x as many seats. I don't think it matters who you support because this is a matter that should be important to anybody who wants there to be more than just 2 dominating parties - it's very clear that First Past The Post is failing the democratic vote of the population and needs to be changed for a system that gives more people an equal say.

Corbyn stood as an independent and won. I just wanted to repeat this fact.

cabinets actually showing a carpenter

I feel bad for the UK..One WEF stooge for another WEF stooge 😢

Labour: 412 seats with 9.68mil votes. Reform: only 4 seats with 4.09mil votes. Something doesn't add up.

That assemble his first cabinet gag had me rolling 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> should be noted, the man in charge of the exit poll said reform was their most uncertain

Great to have a quick comment and update in the early hours of the results. Now subscribed. Always enjoy your videos.

Not voting Tories was sensible, voting Labour was just spiteful 🤣

Only British election can show us how rotten this system is

I always liked how you have more options in UK politics. Granted it doesn’t seem like much is different based on who leads but it’s still neat

I hope there will be new change for the people in the UK w/ this new government. For too long there has been stagnation and decline and I hope it’ll be a stepping stone for the UK to bounce back.

Sad it wasn't actually "zero seats" but good enough I guess

Very strange of you to describe the green’s performance as ‘didn’t have a terrible night’ they did very well considering their realistic goals and achieved everything they set out to. They won the highest number of seats they ever have, won every seat they were actively targeting and increased their vote share.

Turns out the we don't want some big-eared gupta telling us what to do.

Excellent movie; I appreciate how promptly you released it! It must have required a lot of labor.

Good riddance Rishi! It does still baffle me how the voting system works though... Reform 4m votes and only 4 seats, Lib Dems 3.5m votes, 71 seats! I know it's seperated by constituency but my gosh you get half a million more votes than another party but end up 67 seats short of them. Insanity.

Larry holds the constituency of Downing Street.

I hope you had a Happy 4th of July, UK.

Corbyn was not unexpected whatsoever.

23.7% of the electorate looked at the current government and said "yes, more of that please" Blows my mind

Soo good to have a TRUE BRIT as a leader of the UK.

That voting system is terrible. In 2019, the Labor party, for their "worst result in decades" got 202 seats with 10 million votes (32% share of the vote). But now, with fewer voters (9 million), and a just 2% improvement (34% share), they have double the seats (410)? Also, that voter's turn out is very low (60%) considering how unpopular the government was; and it's just a 7% diferrence from the conservative (34% vs 27%), when they supposedly were ahead by 20% according to the polls. It's a very slim victory and easy to lose mayority if you ask me, not a "landslide" victory.

The voting was not much different than in 2019 except for the Conservatives losing half their vote to Reform. Labour and the LibDems should thank Nigel Farrage for their 'outstanding' performance. The result is NOT a ringing endorsement for Labour, it is just a solid repudiation of the Conservatives.

I like how at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="303">5:03</a> "There are particularly strong candidates" they show the cat. Probably the best choice ngl

The polls said Labour would achieve at least 40 percent of the vote but in the end the party fell woefully short. Tactical voting and the supposed threat of a Labour landslide of biblical proportions probably played a part in that.

I specifically voted (tactically) to get rid of the SNP. They've trashed Scotland with their egos and incompetence since 2014.

Congrats to Labour but a bad night for democracy. Low turn out, a massive land slide for Labour with 35% of votes and the rise of multi party votes. WE really need electoral reform. A residency requirement would reduce the power of party over MP and strengthen the constituency link but which voting system? All have weaknesses but FPTP is the worst. My choice would be STV. It returns a constituency candidate that is broadly in line with the consensus of the area and also strengthens the link to voters.

The most crucial part of this video was if that guard at the door was gonna pet the cat….. he did :3

Please drop more occasional jokes in '... and assemble a cabinet' got me 😂

Insanely impressive you managed to produce this in such a short time frame by the way. I bet you're bloody knackered.

As many have said now more than ever the UK needs PR. To win with only a third of the vote is disgraceful. Left and right need to put their differences aside and start campaigning endlessly for PR.

Everyone talking about the election I wanna talk about the cute cat in front of 10 downing lmao

Great work guys.

Been looking forward to this video all morning

14% of the vote but only 4 seats? Your Parliament system is a joke UK

Although im a labour supporter, i am really proud of the Lib Dems for finally getting some balls and boosting their number of seats.

Reforms performance was historic.

Five years ago I couldn't care less about politics, now I'm obsessed. UK, France, US, Canada.....things are crazy and the next five years are going to be Apocalyptic.

Rather than apologize to Tory party, Sunak should have apologized to the country for the damage they've done.

Reform got 5 seats, not 4. Although the last seat was recounted 3 times so that info probably wasn't available when you made the video 👍

Larry is the representative for Downing Street.

I hope the public will get the change they want. I do not foresee much of a change given the position of Labour on Brexit, environment, and taxes.

The biggest mistake Sunak made during the election was focusing on Labour, and not Reform. Looking through most of the results, it is clear that if Sunak had focused most of his effort on Reform, Labour would have lost so many seats given their low polling share. It does leave Starmer with a big problem, as with Reform in 2nd place in such a large number of seats means that if he fails to turn the ship around in 4 and a half years, Reform will expand and be fully battle ready for the next GE.

It's really amazing how much work you put into this in such a short amount of time. You're quite exhausted, I bet.

I stayed up all night to see this happen

Yippie! the slightly less Irradiated Water Party won against the Chernobyl Water Party!

Very impressive that you managed to get out a video of this quality so quickly.

Nice summary as per, thanks

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="370">6:10</a> "Assemble his first cabinet" thank you TLDR for the choice of stock footage, hehe

Now we will never get rid of FPTP

Reform getting 14.3% and only 4 seats should be the story. Lib dems got around 2% less vote share and got about 8-9 less seats than the should've proportionally but still over 23x what reform got.

As a citizen of Leicester South and not a Muslim, I have been warning Ashworth about his position, but he continually fobbed me off and disappeared during the election. I don't like Adam but Im glad he's made an example of Ashworth.

So much gratuitous Larry the Cat footage, I'm so here for it! 🎉

The vote count for Starmer's own constituency was down by 50%, total votes for Labour was hardly any different from the defeat of Corbyn in 2019, yet this time it results in a landslide victory, totally bizarre and unrepresentative system we have !

It wasn't a Labour win, it was a Conservative loss. Labour only managed a third of the votes, but ended up winning two thirds of the seats.

great video as usual

I saw more comments on KZfaq saying they were going to vote for reform than actual reform votes

You guys are always so quick to post

The green result is amazingly good for them. Those 4 seats were ALL the one's they seriously contested and double what most of the polls thought they'd get.

The American mind (mine) can't conceive of electoral swings this huge, good for you guys.

Frankly, they're basically the same. The difference is the Tories stopped offering the one thing people in this country really want - plausible deniability. People in this country are small minded, ignorant, nationalistic bigots - but they don't want to be confronted with anything that might challenge their view that they're basically good people. They vote Tory rather than say, Reform, because they want small minded, ignorant, nationalistic, bigoted policy, but they want to be able to pretend that that's not what they voted for. And when it all goes tits up, as it always does, suddenly all the people who voted Tory last time round are lifetime Labour Supporters (just so long as it's not Corbyn, or any Labour politician who's politics are substantially different from the Tories.) But after fourteen years of the tories getting more and more explicit in the evil fascist shit they wanted to do, people just can't pretend that this isn't what they voted for anymore. Meanwhile, Labour has basically come out under Starmer and said "We're gonna do exactly the same shit the Tories wanted to do, we're gonna be just as corrupt (read: declassifying hate groups as hate groups because a rich woman told them to) but we'll do it in a way that lets you pretend that you're still a liberal, not a Conservative." The current Labour Party's politics ARE Tory politics. The current Labour Leadership stand for the same shit that the Tories do - IE, basically nothing, but with a heavy emphasis on Nationalism, Traditional Values and supporting or otherwise promoting bigotry. They aren't going to do the worst shit that the Tories would have (like literally getting rid of the Human Rights charter) but they are still willing to support hate groups, bigoted organisations, and promote nationalism - while privatising a LOT of essential shit that should belong to everyone. The same people who were getting poorer and poorer will continue to do so, the same groups being murdered in the streets will continue to do so. All this means is things get worse just a tiny bit slower, until the general public get complacent again and the Tories get back in. This won't change anything. Nothing is going to get better. The only reason most of you seem to think this is such a game changer is because you don't belong to one of the three or four groups being scapegoated by both parties. It means nothing because no politician substantially different from this mold can ever win in this country. When offered a choice between Free Wifi and clearing Student Debt or Children drowning in the Channel and people dying in the streets, you all thought Free Wifi and clearing Student Debt sound like the worst option. Everything is fucked and nothing will change. If you gave me the money right this second I'd just leave before this nation goes full fascist.

He's in IKEA right now picking out a nice cabinet. As is tradition

It's about time the people had a say in who leads the country.

The same needs to happen here in the states.
