[RulkezX]

10% swings to Tory in safe labour seats, definite Tory majority incoming

There hasn't been a 10% swing anywhere

Bottom of Scotland all expected to go Conservative. Time to cut it off.

C'mon now

 

[liquidtmd]

So if yougovs model happens what is the most likely result? Some kind of coalition government?

God knows.

Lib Dems and Corbyn both said no coalitions

 

[Thornton Reed]

So glad I booked tomorrow off. Whatever way the election swings, I'm off to Ireland to see Eddie Vedder at the weekend and get blind drunk.

Never been this interested in politics in my life!

Make sure he sings Jeremy

 

[Captain Smirk]

Interesting to follow live betting odds for overall majority

Straight after Exit Poll:
Tory majority @1.83
No majority @2

After first 3 results:
Tory Majority @1.44
No majority @2.75

After latest Swindon and Newcastle result:
Tory Majority @1.66
No majority @2.2

Fascinating stuff

 

[_Clash_]

Good weather on the day UK?

 

[itsbenoclock]

BBC visualising the exit poll as many ways as they can think of to waste time haha

 

[Muffin1611]

I'm up for another 2 hours replaying Bloodborne anyway. Gonna have occasional looks in here and hopefully I'll see some good results. Looks really good so far!

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

So if yougovs model happens what is the most likely result? Some kind of coalition government?

Minority Con government (and another General Election in 2018 or 19) or a Lab-SNP-Lib Dem coalition. Either a disaster or a catastrophe for the Tories.

 

[Faddy]

Conservative gains expected in Gordon. Salmond fucked.

Mhairi Black expected to lose her seat. Someone in the topic early mentioned swinging from SNP to Labour in Renfrewshire.

Bottom of Scotland all expected to go Conservative. Time to cut it off.

Tories not fully confident in Gordon. Lib Dems think they are out of it but Salmond might hold on.

 

[Carl]

Turnout must be well up considering how long these counts are taking.

Either that or austerity is biting into electoral services.

Been consistently up on 2015 so far

 

[Audioboxer]

Salmond losing his seat would make me happy.
Black losing hers would make me sad.

To the Tories? Cause that is where it is rumoured to be going.

 

[Chinner]

So if yougov is right and the Tories get 302 or so seats....

How long will May last until she resigns?

then you're well on your way to becoming a polijunkie. Aint no coming back, mate. Join usss.

i'd put it at less than 24 hours.

 

[Uzzy]

So if yougovs model happens what is the most likely result? Some kind of coalition government?

Tory + DUP would probably be a majority, if small and unstable. If that doesn't work then we'll be looking at another election probably.

Was pissing it down

So yeah

 

[ferrasvansen]

Damn I'm glad I stayed up. This is exciting, and unexpected.

This is all looking too good, I keep waiting for the catch!

 

[Red Arremer]

 

[nature boy]

WTF is that virtual number 10 BBC

 

[Zyae]

Minority Con government or a Lab-SNP-Lib Dem coalition.

So why would those 3 parties not group up? Seems like they have a lot in common ideologically.

 

[weekev]

Good weather on the day UK?

Nah it was pishing down.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Holy shit.

As a guy who lives like 10 metres outside the K&C border

Holy shit

why no grand coalition? works in germany

 

[Jibbed]

This is like some Getaway 3 shit on BBC right now.

[Fuser]

It's local councils not the BBC

We have no budget or need to deliver great audio quality for the BBC once in a blue moon. We do what we can with what we have!

yougov says 57% labour here

Same story in Sunderland.

 

[kmag]

Labour would be a minority government if the Yougov model holds.

CON 302
LAB 269
SNP 44
LD 12
PC 2
Green 1
Other 2

269 + 44 SNP + 12 Ld + 1 g+ 2 PC + 3 SDLP + Sylvia Harmon = 332 seats in a confidence and supply agreement.

It's unlikely to be exact.

Me Audio lol

I voted labour because I couldn't vote against policies I've fought for while a lab member and in the last few years with the snp.

10/11

...or maybe 12pm tomorrow

 

[Finalizer]

yougov da king

 

[King_Moc]

Holy shit.

https://mobile.twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/872951971178741760

Both the seats? That seems incredibly unlikely.

 

[Shaneus]

So 302 seats for Tories means, even though it's more than Labour, they need to get several other parties onside to get things passed, meaning they don't have a majority?

Australian here, so kind of trying to grasp the goings on here. Between this and the Comey stuff, it's a fascinating time to be an outsider.

What a pity

Sounds like the weather will be a factor

 

[Morat]

See you all on the other side. Facilis descenso inferno.

 

[Camoxide]

Worked as a poll clerk today and the turnout seemed pretty good.
A large amount of issues with people not being on the list or not receiving the postal vote unfortunately.
