IIRC on election night in 2016 in NYC or at least Times Square once it became apparent Trump had won the scene was quite muted. I think the nets were hoping for a New Years Eve scene if Hillary had won but well we know what happened. It was strangely quiet that night in NYC. Oh a bit of sobbing at the Javits Center of course.

Note to Labour: Forget the red rose. I’m thinking skunk cabbage.

Better choice now that I think about it...corpse flower. It’s not native, either, but smells even worse.

This was about Corbyn. Labourites wanted him gone, and I think that was the main driver here.
