This holodeck stuff is ridiculous.

Gotta fill time somehow

Unfortunately, we're not Germany...

Yougov estimated 57%, with a high of 63%

First time they've missed their margin (by 0.7%) - and it's in Labour's favour.

 

[chadskin]

Surprised "Who is Theresa May?" isn't in the top 5.

 

[KingSnake]

Washington & Sunderland West:
Lab: 60.7% (+5.8)
Con: 28.8% (+10.0)
UKIP: 6.8% (-12.8)
LDem: 2.4% (-0.3)
Grn: 1.3% (-1.7)

Again a bit better for Labour than YouGov's average.

 

[mightynine]

That looks quite odd with a pan from fake Number 10 to real BBC election studio

 

[kmag]

Labour Gain in Chelsea likely. Fucking Chelsea.

 

[Audioboxer]

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.

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.

 

[whyamihere]

yougov says 57% labour here

Blessed be the fruit.

 

[offshore]

Nina Hossain is so dreamy.

 

[Ghost]

Emily Thornberry needs a nap

 

[kharma45]

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.

They could form a minority government and rely on support from the DUP. Depends on the final tally.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

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.

You're not wrong!

Make sure he sings Jeremy

I don't think he will but I'd fucking love it if he did!

20 point swing towards labour?

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

 

[giant_frying_pan]

So if I'm to understand Boxer's take, it's that indyref2 will happen, but the exit polls for SNP suggest the result will be Remain in the UK.

Well you can't quite use these polls to predict what the outcome of an independence referendum would be. The main two factors being that 16 and 17 year olds would be able to vote as well as residents - not the case with tonight's election.

That said, the opinion polls specifically regarding independence are still in favour of remaining in the UK, but have frequently shown a narrow potential result.

It's why many were surprised that Nicola Sturgeon was quick to put it back on the table, but it was an attractive option given the EU referendum and the pro-UK campaign's insistence that the only way to remain in the EU was to vote against independence.

And of course, 62% of those who voted in Scotland, voted to remain in the EU.

I would laugh like a fucking drain if this was true.

Yep. Thats pretty much it exactly.

 

[Shaneus]

Oh, and do the SNP typically side with Labour? Trying to work out which numbers I should be adding together here, whether I just count Labour on their own or should count other parties towards the count against the Tories.

Yep. Thats pretty much it exactly.

Rad, good to know!

Need 326 for the queens speech. Can't get the queens speech through you don't have a govt.

 

[Psychotext]

Still looking very much that national swing is fairly useless as an indicator. All coming down to individual seats.

 

[Audioboxer]

First Scottish seat estimated around 2am. Baws.

Yup. They need 326.

EDIT: Retweeted by Dan Hodges: "Lots of residents who work in the City who are seriously angry about Brexit and who don't want to move to Frankfurt...."

There we go. Saved by the suits.

 

[Y2Kev]

Why can't all the librul parties unite

 

[JonathanEx]

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.

This woman on the bbc might be the very definition of Smug, her face is almost collapsing from it.

is Emily thornberry blazed af?

 

[Lo-Volt]

It's really funny and a little jarring to see a Emily Thornberry on television (and going hard on Michael Fallon during the campaign) when the guy who sacked her is out there somewhere.

 

[avaya]

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

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

 

[Syder]

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

How're things looking?

 

[Faddy]

I would snog the lipstick off Emily Thornberry's face right now.

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

Some of the banter on twitter is amazing, Eurovision is trending haha

she always looks like that

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

 

[Par Score]

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.

 

[f0rk]

Is a 'progressive alliance' technically a coalition?

 

[D4Danger]

Why can't all the librul parties unite

they could if the tories fall short

 

[itsbenoclock]

Thornberry had a celebratory few gins a bit too early

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

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

Getting into a coalition government and being shoved around pretty much destroyed the Lib Dems in 2015, Labour-SNP are ideologically closer.

If it's the constituency I'm looking at right now it would be a 40 percent swing towards labour which is insane. If it's kensington it would be a 20 percent swing towards labour.
