phew that was close

 

[Empty]

south shields yougov 54 labour, reality 61.5

 

[Omadahl]

Looking forward to the Jonathan Pie take on this.

 

[DJKhaled]

Yeah, true. I just see them as a bunch of shitcunts though, I usually forget about the infighting with them

True. Not sure there's anyone in the Liberals that aren't shitcunts tbh.

 

[Prisoner]

Perfect thread title!

 

[Audioboxer]

Is there any chance that Jacob R Mogg MP will lose?

That guy is a bit of a bellend. Only introduced to him recently.

 

[mo60]

I don't think the tories will make any gains from labour at this point expect maybe in wales.

 

[jonjonaug]

Wait what's going on? I haven't been keeping up all day because of Comey.

Is there progressive hope now?

Not really so much as hope for schadenfreude.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

lolz

Holy crap, if polls are correct this is a perfectly hung parliament.

 

[Pyroclastic]

Is there any chance that Jacob R Mogg MP will lose?

hope not he should be leader after this lol. imagine a sustained actual difference between the two leaders of the main parties. a dyed in the wool socialist vs a well heeled pony fucking tory

Am I dreaming or is there a chance of JC walking through no 10

This Jeremy Vine fellow sure is excitable

 

[Graphics Horse]

Vine's time to play Splatoon

 

[whyamihere]

Yeah, without Darlington, I don't really know what tonight looks like. May needed that to increase her majority.

 

[twobear]

Has in-fighting ever been a thing for the Tories? I've seen it happen a lot with left-wing parties (Democrats in the US, Labor in Australia) but not sure I've seen it happen to a right-wing party anywhere.

The entire reason we're Brexiting in the first place, more or less, is because of Tory infighting.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Has any of ITV, BBC or SKY picked up on the YouGov poll yet?

 

[D4Danger]

Scotland has been carved up. That indyref has backfired.

 

[Lagamorph]

Starting to look pretty clear that IndyRef 2 is off the table for a good long while.

 

[Madchad]

Is there any chance that Jacob R Mogg MP will lose?

As much as i dont link the cons Mogg brings the bants so dont mind him being in there.

 

[Darkstorne]

From YouGov, yeah. Second seat after Basildon they've not hit.

Yet there have been other seats where Labour have performed better than YouGov predicted. It's crazy how close this is. So far YouGov is looking highly accurate, though BBC are suggesting Conservatives might be doing better than the exit poll suggests (and the exit poll is better for the Conservatives than the YouGov poll). So I still don't know what to make of this yet. Will take some close call seats changing hands I think to make safer predictions.

 

[Jibbed]

Has any of ITV, BBC or SKY picked up on the YouGov poll yet?

BBC haven't mentioned it once all night.

All talk has been on the exit polls.

 

[Stead Fast]

Wine is working wonders, I see.

 

[WhatNXt]

Vine's time to play Splatoon

I mentally just tried to like this post 👍

 

[WhateverItTakes]

The way the seats are coming out, and us hearing swings in both directions, makes me tense. All to play for.

 

[Faddy]

North East England going more Tory than expected. Doesn't seem to be replicated across the country though.

 

[31GhostsIV]

I did not expect to be on the edge of my seat, glued to the laptop over this election. A pleasant surprise so far...

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Can someone explain to a non-brit what it currently looks like and what this means?

 

[Kalor]

I love Vines maps during elections.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

This Jeremy Vine fellow sure is excitable

HE moves with much more grace now though since doing Strictly. Seriously, watch his footwork

 

[Baleoce]

Holy crap, if polls are correct this is a perfectly hung parliament.

God I hope so. If it was hung, that's definitely not in the tories favour. I'd imagine coalition talks would be with "everyone else", and I don't see even if they got the first shot, who would actually say yes to them.

 

[mo60]

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

 

[Shaneus]

Another question from an ignorant Australian: Is there any result from this that could justify/cause another election sometime this year a la France?

 

[DJKhaled]

Has any of ITV, BBC or SKY picked up on the YouGov poll yet?

Sky has at least once. Saying so far it's been the most accurate.

 

[Ghost]

Am I dreaming or is there a chance of JC walking through no 10

Emily Thornberry (who looked blazed off her tits) was on the BBC earlier saying if the exit poll was right there would be no deals they would just put their manifesto to the queen and see who votes for it.



...So no there's no chance.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Holy crap, if polls are correct this is a perfectly hung parliament.

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

 

[Ruruja]

This Jeremy Vine fellow sure is excitable

He gets to play with his augmented reality toys, it's his favourite time.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Edinburgh North & Leith may go Labour according to that BBC graphic.

Yessss go Leith!

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Can someone explain to a non-brit what it currently looks like and what this means?

It currently looks like the Conservatives may lose seats in an election they called early to gain seats. Enough so in fact that they cannot form a government.

 

[War Peaceman]

Democratic socialism isn't as toxic as we've been told, apparently

The ideas in the manifesto were easy to grasp and addressed clear problems. They weren't about fiddling in the middle and compromising. The whole campaign was run with decency and honesty. I don't think it vindicates any particular ideology necessarily (although Labour must stick with it) rather a way of doing things. People are sick of lies.

In the EU referendum people protest voted against the establishment. Good amounts of them still did, but this time so did many of the remainers.

 

[ANuclearError]

Oh, SNP swing to Labour here. That graphic is a sight to see.

 

[Ravensmash]

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

Yes, great potential result for them.

Also Woo, new thread!

 

[Pyroclastic]

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

yeah slightly unexpected but there is an old liberal tradition there.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Hah, Willie Rennie will be pleased tomorrow.

 

[Lord Frieza]

So I see some Brits on my Facebook saying this backfired out of May's cunt (not sure if that's a British thing or just a him thing), so I'm taking it that this isn't working out like the Tories wanted?

 

[D4Danger]

Can someone explain to a non-brit what it currently looks like and what this means?

Tories might have given away their majority

depending on how it goes Labour could form a minority government backed by other liberal parties (although this is still a way off)

 

[Auraela]

Let him have his fun

 

[PipefishUK]

Southampton turnout up: Itchen 78.95% from 61.9% in 2015. Test 68.67% from 62.1%

I'm Romsey and Southampton North. I voted Labour - they have no chance here but hoping at least to get Lib Dem (unlikely - although it was 63% Remain here so you never know)

 

[jem0208]

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

A party which supports the remain vote whilst also not trying to get Scotland out of the UK.
