American lurker here. Quick explanation why this is huge if you don't mind?

Chelsea is basically rich pensioners. Imagine if the Green Party made gains in e.g. Alabama.

 

[Uzzy]

This guy in the glasses on Sky News looks like the guy in glasses in Commando.

An underrated masterpiece, that.

 

[MeatGrinder]

Does anyone have a link to an updating poll result tracker?

republicans winning in san fransisco

the most socialist manifesto in decades winning in one of the richest parts of london

 

[jelly]

It would be quite interesting if postal votes didn't swing it for the Tories as that was long before things started going off the rails and Corbyn looked decent.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Why can't all the librul parties unite

The progressive alliance - righting the wrongs of the right wing and saving the country.

What a dream that is.

 

[Psychotext]

Dimbleby sounding grumpy.

...and now sounding strange.

Chelsea and Kensington is basically the richest borough in London. It's like all the 1% voting Democrat.

 

[King_Moc]

Holy shit.

I think this guy is mixed up. it's not even a seat anymore. And the gap in Chelsea and Fulham is insane. It's not happening.

 

[offshore]

Not just BBC having sound issues; Gerry Adams' sound-to-vision ratio is out by a factor of 10 :lol

UKIP source: "Wrong to think all UKIP voters would vote for May on Brexit, anti-establishment Corbyn more attractive for many"

Hmm.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

It's ZONE 1 Central London. Posh af. Not Labour territory.

Gotcha.

Well, did Texas take well to the Democrats?

Hahaha I see.

Safe Tory seat and generally upper class types who are typically staunch Tories. Can't see it happening myself.

Cool thanks!

 

[Meadows]

Lib Dems and Labour refusing to go into deals because they're both fucking cunts.

Another election then.

 

[Stead Fast]

I stepped out for a while because I drank too much, too fast...

How're things looking?

Like a 12am election night, Labour safe is still safe, some blue seats trickling in.

 

[mo60]

(This is exactly what's happening in the US)

The issue so far is that the tories aren't making overall gains right now.

 

[typist]

"Whatever he decides to do with the Queen." lol
Comrade Corbyn will execute the Queen

This looks so silly and doesn't really do anything that a simple chart couldn't do. lol

Chelsea is a posh rich part of London. Conservatives do really well there.

That's hot

You seem very determined to see nothing positive in Labour.

 

[Wes]

Maybe I'm wrong but Emily Thornberry seems to have had a lot of fun this election.

 

[tomtom94]

Hmm.

People really overlooked the anti-establishment aspect to both UKIP and Brexit.

 

[King_Moc]

I think Kensington can flip with a similar swing to Swindon?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_(UK_Parliament_constituency)

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

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

Holy shit

Could you tell me what it is about that area that makes it hostile labour territory?

Edit- nvm, found an explanation above.

Oh god, reminds me so much of CNN's crap.

 

[Black Republican]

Well, this is interesting. If May gets the boot with no majority, not a bad day.

SNP might have crumbled, don't think that's the end for them, people are just sick of Brexit and IndyRef2. Brexit needs played out then they might come back again.

Im no fan but i don't get why she should get the boot by her party if she doesnt get majority

Yeah, but do they have star wars holograms?

 

[Carl]

Meanwhile on Channel 4, Judge Rinder has been brought on as a pundit, Paxman is ready to shout at anyone saying "it's too early to tell" and played sad violin for Alistair Cambell, while David Mitchell argues their show shouldn't even be on air right now.

It's everything you'd want and more.

But do they have David Dimbleby complaining about audio quality and a fly in the studio??

Thought not

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Emily Thornberry is one smug fucker. lmao

 

[Deleted member 231381]

SF reaffirming their position on not taking seats in Westminster - even to vote against the Conservatives.

Expected, I guess.

 

[Lo-Volt]

Why? If it's possible, one side could always attempt confidence and supply for big bills and fight on the margins. A coalition isn't mandated all the time.

 

[Acorn]

It's okay, I stand by Labour gains are fine. I'm just a bit gutted as Mhairi's speeches on Trident and Benefits were good from such a young candidate.

She'll get selected somewhere for the Scottish parly.

 

[JonathanEx]

YouGov's model, which seemed bonkers, continues to be pretty spot on.

No reason to fully believe just yet, just as no reason to fully doubt the exit poll, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

While I called bollocks on it - the one thing I respect about is that they were very open about margins when you load up the actual seat level ones, to get an idea how changable it is, rather than the exit poll style "THESE EXACT SEATS" without mentioning the margin of error enough.


Fuck Channel 4 have brought back Wife Swap for a Brexit special

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Emily Thornberry overdosing on smug

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

Tories might have underestimated how much of the Leave vote was down to an anti-establishment sentiment than actually wanting to leave the EU.

 

[Pyroclastic]

thornberry is the metropolitian elite embodied lol

Spoiler

AND ITS GLORIOUS

 

[MCN]

This looks so silly and doesn't really do anything that a simple chart couldn't do. lol

Is this your first UK election?

Expected, but still annoying.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

I think a lot of labours have, as it's gone on all the prominent ones have gone from strength to strength (baring Abbott, not her fault).

 

[Mr Cola]

Maybe I'm wrong but Emily Thornberry seems to have had a lot of fun this election.

She has the most "Fuck you" expression on her face I have ever seen

 

[gngf123]

Holy shit Emily ahaha.

 

[Zaph]

Lib Dems and Labour refusing to go into deals because they're both fucking cunts.

Another election then.

Or they saw how the public punished the minority in the last coalition and don't want to take all the blame and none of the glory?

 

[offshore]

It's amazing that Emily "flag-gate" Thronberry has outlasted Ed Miliband on the front bench.

 

[empyrean]

Always thought ken Clarke was alright really. Shame he is a Tory.

 

[KingSnake]

Looking at YouGov, Kensington is practically tied for averages. Considering the +2-3% bonus for Labour that we got so far it would be realistically for them to win it.

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

is Emily thornberry blazed af?

Thought the same. Her smile is mesmerizing.

 

[D4Danger]

Emily Thornberry being unbearably smug right now

I can't hate. she's earned it after destroying Fallon

 

[Audioboxer]

It's after midnight now. No giving your Mogwai's water.
