close but that's a good hold

 

[CalamityPixel]

Damn slow Welsh results

Gotta get that translation

Wrexham is Labour

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

Looks like Goldsmith is back in.

 

[PowderedToast]

these marginals are so tense

 

[Thornton Reed]

So happy with that Wrexham vote

 

[mightynine]

I love the incomprehensible Welsh language

 

[KORNdoggy]

Cons will win if boris takes over..sooo many people seem to like him

I'm not sure they like him in a "i want you to run the country" sort of way. It's more of "look at the idiot, this is entertaining" sort of way.

Its like people like watching dogs do dumb things on youtube but i can't imagine they'd want to give one any sort or responsibility. Lol.

 

[Stead Fast]

Damn, Xrexham was a major aim for the Tories too.

 

[Chinner]

Shit happens. It's becoming apparent the tory landslide isn't coming to fruition.

 

[RedShift]

Looks like Goldsmith is back in.

Boooooooooooooooo

 

[Ravensmash]

Tories aren't getting these gains.

Also, Welsh is a wonderfully different language.

 

[Fdkn]

the UK system is so damn slow, lol.

What's the eta for definitive results? It's 2 AM here

 

[mclem]

"aaaahhhh" *splosh*
Well, that's one loss.

He's just lost his deposit.

 

[Pyroclastic]

fucking hell at those turnouts

realty want vince back in

 

[Sulik2]

I love the incomprehensible Welsh language

Its the best accent in the world too.

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

I really like Welsh as a language, I knew how to speak a bit of it once. Just flows very nicely.

 

[RK9039]

Haven't been following the news on this one.

So who is the obvious Russian candidate this time?

The tic tac head from UKIP probably.

 

[CalamityPixel]

May went to Wrexham seven times in the campaign

 

[jelly]

I love that they ignored the 48% with all their united bollocks, get on with the red white and blue Brexit. How about no.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

No, 660 seats total, independents and what not make up the missing seats I believe.

Thank you for the correction!

 

[Monty Mole]

I really can't stand Laura Kuntsberg.

 

[gngf123]

I love the incomprehensible Welsh language

It's such a weird but interesting sounding language.

 

[kmag]

the UK system is so damn slow, lol.

What's the eta for definitive results? It's 2 AM here

They'll still be counting tomorrow afternoon (I think NI doesn't start counting until the morning)

 

[ZanDatsu]

Are there people in Wales who don't speak English? If no, why the translation?

 

[Thornton Reed]

My vote counted

Get in

 

[Carl]

3 or 4 hours yet.

 

[GreyWind]

Halton for Labour

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I really can't stand Laura Kuntsberg.

No need for that.

 

[War Peaceman]

Looks like Goldsmith is back in.

This is disgraceful. Fucker should have been gone for good. Shame on Richmond, which is a place I have a lot of fondness for.

 

[empyrean]

Are there people in Wales who don't speak English? If no, why the translation?

Keeping the language alive basically.

swindon south yougov 49% labour & 39% tory, reality 48 tory & 44 labour (!!!!!!)
wrexham yougov 51% labour, reality 49

 

[TetraGenesis]

Hey! I'm American and know very little about the U.K. electoral system. So forgive my absolute ignorance but could a progressive upset today (as seems to be happening, right?) have implications on Brexit since that's not, like, fully enacted yet? God, I have no idea what I'm even saying. I need to go educate myself, sorry.

 

[SictorVullivan]

May went to Wrexham seven times in the campaign

Wow.

 

[PaulLFC]

Labour holding Wrexham was good news (exit poll had it 99% likely to go Conservative)

 

[Audioboxer]

SNP lost to Labour in East Kilbride.

265 votes in it!

 

[kirblar]

Very basically: vilified by left and right wing press so everyone had strong opinions with no exposure to him. May (Con leader) saw this as opportunity to steal seats from labour. People had to listen to Corbyn because it's an election, realised he wasn't a cunt. May and conservatives acted like cunts. Shot selves in foot.

*Shot selves in foot with a BFG, Railgun, Golden Gun, and Junkrat's Ultimate. Over the course of only a month.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Thank you for the correction!

It's 650 seats not 660.

326 is majority but because SF don't sit, 323 is enough

 

[Beefy]

First Scottish result! LABOUR GAIN Rutherglen & Hmilton West!

[Zvonimir Boban]

The lib dems are probably going to make most of their gains in scotland according to BBC.Wow.

Makes sense, they voted overwhelmingly to remain.

 

[Stead Fast]

Shit happens. It's becoming apparent the tory landslide isn't coming to fruition.

And I will celebrate that alone! Anything else is whatever. Except IDS losing. I'd fucking cheer like a game-winning-penalty if it weren't for the neighbours kids.

Also, Drink No. 14!!!!

Edit: And 15!

 

[excowboy]

Having a glorious time with 4 good buddies and a fridge full of beers watching the madness. Woooooooooooooo!

We'll keep the Red Flag flying here!

CCHQ now fear a total clear out of Tory MPs from London is now possible. Source: "London is looking horrible". Revenge of the Remainers.

That's the stuff

 

[Darkstorne]

Yep, YouGov finally wrong about a seat, and in Conservative's favour. Shame.

But at the very least we'll be seeing May with a very small majority, and Labour with everything to play for in the next election. Brexit negotiations are a poisoned chalice to be fair, so I wouldn't be too upset with this outcome.

 

[Lo-Volt]

Are there people in Wales who don't speak English? If no, why the translation?

Language rights and security was a big deal in British politics outside of England in the 20th century. Part of Plaid's reason of being was defending the language in public life.

 

[Pyroclastic]

pride in their language? an odd language but I don't begrudge them keeping their heritage.

 

[whyamihere]

DELICIOUS

I'm US GAF also but no, think everyone agrees Brexit is happening

It'll be a couple of hours
