If nothing else, Corbyn has mounted a fantastic fucking campaign.
I'll believe Tories not getting a majority when I see it, very skeptical.
Is a minority government likely or will Lib Dems and SNP back out of their coalition claims and just go for it?

YouGov's model is not infallible.
This needs to be in the OP.

Is this a real tweet and if so what's the background?
And why would a politician use such foul language on a public platform?
Need a Tory to call it the Rebel Alliance and unwittingly refer to themselves as the Empire.

Exit Polls have Conservatives looking like they lost seats, when the entire reason they called this election, was to gain an easy majority.

Predictive data collected at polling stations across the country. It's by no means perfect, but a good barometer.
Edit:
Or if you meant by this particular one, it says no party can form a majority in the Commons on their own, so no parliament can be formed without a coalition again.
OP add this please.

Basildon the first really significant YouGov miss - first time they've had both major parties outside the MoE.
11 out of 12 ain't bad tho

So much for that unelectable opposition. Or weak opposition. I can't remember how they tried spinning it lol. Centrism is well and truly dead.

I am proud to be the originator of this OT's glorious banner.
The exit poll predicts the kind of result we would expect from a UK election. Usually it's off slightly or close to the actual result. So far it looks like it may be correct.
Jesus christ you have to be joking.
Doesn't need to be a coalition.

Mmm, these are good. Anyone want one?
Ukip vote splitting 50:50 Con: Lab or even in Lab favour is driving exit poll.
At beginning of campaign pollsters had 69% to Con. 5% to Lab

Suburban votes here are varied- inner ones lean blue, exurbs red. (The redder exurbs and upper-middle class areas were the areas that are swinging D away from R)
How are the UK ones different? The 1%ers are always concentrated in the hub?

It indicated that the Conservatives would become the largest party, but not have an overall majority of seats in our House of Commons. This means that when voting on legislation, they would not be able to simply "walk things through" and could be held up by the other parities.
This is a good thing, because the Conservatives have a habit of shafting anyone who isn't on a six-figure salary.
