Labour are super confident Rudd is gone. Heard it from some big 'uns now.

Sky saying possible recount needed in her seat, so definitely seems possible.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

That is heroic.

It really is, isn't it?

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Jo Swinson back in in East Dunbartonshire, Tories in that election peg it at 100% chance of Swinson now.

 

[whyamihere]

YouGov had Rudd's seat (Hastings and Rye) as likely Labour. 48 to 40.

 

[Meadows]

I have feeling the deepest depths of the moneymen in London will find a way to get us out of Brexit based on this result.

 

[Acorn]

Shit couple of weeks for her. I don't much care for her but she was hung out to dry by May. Whilst grieving.

 

[Y2Kev]

...it does? I mean, Corbyn has given me an erection the size of Mount Olympus right now and I'd still concede his force of personality is pretty low.

Compared to Theresa May he seems like Prince

 

[Darkstorne]

Can't negotiate Brexit without a majority party in power? Hung parliament for life then!

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Should I watch the BBC or the Sky Stream?

BBC. Dimbles has already kicked off about flies and technology. Must watch TV.

 

[Pyroclastic]

A humble request for an American analogy!

I can't think of the biggest blue blood 1% republican seat you could get.

 

[StayDead]

Andrew Marr just said memes.

I'm done.

Same. Amazing day.

Hype rissssing

I'm dying here help

 

[Shaneus]

Theresa May is the most British-looking person I have ever seen.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Ipswich to Labour looks likely, wow what's happening.

 

[mo60]

Oh it's happening

If labour makes huge gains in the south a majority is out of the question at this point.

 

[DJKhaled]

Why are they interviewing truck drivers?

 

[openrob]

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

At the same time you have pockets of estates and shit areas. I used to go to college in Latimer Road - not exactly posh lol

 

[tomtom94]

Scalping Rudd makes me almost feel sorry for her - she's been stitched up a bit by May there.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

YouGov had Rudd's seat (Hastings and Rye) as likely Labour. 48 to 40.

feel kinda bad for her after having to debate when her dad just died tbh

still though

he's gonna do it

 

[Par Score]

That level of turnout would certainly do it.

Blimey.

 

[Audioboxer]

Tories calling P&NP, Moray and Gordon.

Salmond, Robertson and Wishart.

Cunts

If so, LOL.

England trying to oust the Tories and Scotland saying come on guys, get them back in.

 

[Stead Fast]

Another 11% gain.

 

[CarlisleDavid1979]

Carlisle voter turnout at close to 70%.

Nice!

 

[Carl]

OK the YouGov expectation is looking much better than the actual exit poll right now

 

[whyamihere]

A humble request for an American analogy!

Well, it's hard, because the super rich parts of Manhattan are super Democratic. But like, imagine the richest suburbs in Waukesha voting Democratic.

 

[War Peaceman]

I feel like Crab called it a while ago with his comparison of May to Clinton. Not personable and arrogant.

 

[Oriel]

Because I'm selfish.

*shrugs* Look on the brightside, SF abstention lowers the threshold for forming a coalition govt so there's always that.

 

[Kiever Sher]

John Prescott‏Verified account @johnprescott

Heard from very good source who was there that Rupert Murdoch stormed out of The Times Election Party after seeing the Exit Poll 😂 #Vote2017

lol

The one thing YouGov can't account for is local candidate popularity, though. Rudd is a very prominent minister and well-liked within her party. It would be an enormous upset to take her out, we're talking a real, real Portillo moment here. Future leadership contender gone overnight.

 

[Pyroclastic]

people are reacting to dimbers in the studio like you would do to a straight edge mate who's gotten shitfaced for the first time ever.

 

[King_Moc]

The news coming out is much more positive for Labour now. BBC saying they could have 4-6 seats back in Scotland.

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

I mean, if the YouGov model is right, City of London is a tossup, which is crazy.

Now this was a real paradigm shift if true.

 

[Fergie]

 

[Empty]

kettering 60% tory on yougov, reality 58%

 

[D4Danger]

I feel like Crab called it a while ago with his comparison of May to Clinton. Not personable and arrogant.

the manifesto killed her.

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

Again, Con vote in Kettering is less than YouGov were predicting.

 

[Wes]

Not thinking about the result a second - the fact the turnout is so high is really great to see.

 

[jelly]

Scalping Rudd makes me almost feel sorry for her - she's been stitched up a bit by May there.

She will stitch her back I bet.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I love this old British dude (Ken Clarke) on BBC. He's so stereotypical.

(I'm Canadian, in Canada)

He's the best Tory.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

lol

Best news of the night haha

 

[PJV3]

lol

The night gets better and better.

 

[Madchad]

holy fuck mega lold

Thanks!

Very curious how far the parallels in these types of seats go between the UK and US go when the dust settles.

 

[electroshockwave]

Why would SF suddenly upend over a century of Irish abstentionism to suit the interests of an English political party? I, like most Irishmen, support SF's policy of abstention. It's how Ireland got its first Parliament when the majority of elected Irish MP's to the Commons set up an Irish Parliament (Dail Eireann) after the 1918.

Maybe to represent their constituents in the parliament they were elected to?

 

[Baleoce]

If the referendum taught me anything, it's that exit poll don't mean shit.

 

[Monty Mole]

David Dimbleby seems to be struggling tonight.

 

[Spaghetti]

Happening?

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

ask JK Rowling if she's okay

@britainelects
#GE2017: Kettering:
Con: 57.9% (+6.1)
Lab: 36.5% (+11.4)
LDem: 3.3% (+0.1)
Grn: 2.3% (-1.2)
Con hold.

YouGov had Tories at 60%, Labour at 32%...

 

[Dirtyshubb]

kettering 60% tory on yougov, reality 58%

So unless I'm wrong, the yougov poll has been underselling labour and overselling tory so far?

Holy shit.
