Tory win: why are you surprised?
What to say at the Christmas party.
It was a result not many people predicted: the Conservatives won their largest majority since 1987, and Labour lost seats in its northern heartlands, despite social media suggesting there would be a 鈥榶outhquake鈥� at the polls. There was also an array of bizarre moments from the TV coverage. So, what exactly happened last night?
In this episode 大象传媒 5 Live鈥檚 Scott Bryan takes us through the TV highs and lows of the night. We also speak to Marianna Spring and Joey D鈥橴rso from 大象传媒 Trending, who tell us how the 鈥榮ocial media election鈥� turned out, and The Atlantic鈥檚 Tom McTague explains how the Tories flipped the Labour strongholds in Wales and the north of England.
