@britainelects
Source tells me Labour confident of holding off the Tories in Chester.

Was a 50.6% Leave constituency.

 

[Thornton Reed]

Bonus points if it's Milliband vintage.

Its 2015

 

[Audioboxer]

These two would mean quite a big swing from YouGov. I wonder if some of the former Tory voting intentions voted tactically.

The Orange Lodge wanted Labour voters to go Conservative but Unionists might have been playing it sneaky and unifying behind Labour in areas where the Tories had very little chance.

 

[PowderedToast]

newcastle north 55% - yougov 54%

yougov on an unbelievable streak here.

 

[Biggzy]

Doesn't the Swindon vote pretty much completely kill the thought of a Tory landslide? Or were there local issues going on?

If the Tories were going to get a landslide, they need swings everywhere so yes.

 

[King_Moc]

I was always a fan of Ken Clarke. A shame he never led the Tories. He's the only guy that could have me not seething with hatred at them.

 

[Tregard]

I'm so confused as to how I should be feeling right now.

[ElectronicOldMen]

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

She really didn't have to call the election, and called it with the assumption that her majority would increase by a landslide, if it falls or they lose it she comes out of it looking terrible.

I've learned that personality matters!

...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.

 

[RaoulDukeGonzo]

Croydon Central now Labour, get in, bruv!

 

[Beefy]

Woah! Plaid Cymru sources say Ceredigion is now a four-way fight. 'Labour and the Tories have come from nowhere.'

Newcastle upon Tyne North:
Lab: 55.4% (+9.3)

Yougov is scary.

 

[VegiHam]

Ken Clarke is right; we should never have any referendums on anything ever again.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

I'm so glad I am not working tomorrow.

 

[kmag]

George Osborne must be close to recreating the hooker picture at this point.

 

[Acorn]

Eww, wtf have ITV got Andy Coulson on for?

Disgusting.

 

[tomtom94]

4 or 5. If 4, amount needed for majority is 323. If 5, then amount needed for majority is... 323. So no real difference.

Their possible 5 is against an Alliance candidate, who are a Lib Dem sister party and would not go into coalition with anyone. So really, pretty inconsequential.

Does that mean the DUP could still end up in coalition with the Conservatives?

 

[Empty]

yougov on an unbelievable streak here.

they've nailed the north east

let's see how they do in scotland and the midlands

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Ken Clarke is a good guy Tory. Wish many more of them were like him.

 

[CelticKnight]

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

His bit about "more cross-party discussion, less exchanging slogans and points scoring" isn't wrong, really.

 

[D4Danger]

Ken Clarke is right; we should never have any referendums on anything ever again.

yep. Tim Farron said the same thing.

 

[Philly40]

oof,

keep an eye on betfair's markets

 

[Biggzy]

I was always a fan of Ken Clarke. A shame he never led the Tories. He's the only guy that could have me not seething with hatred at them.

Same here. He has always been one of the more sane Tories.

 

[SuperHans]

Was Thornberry with you?

No. Jesus no. Just heard in the taxi on the way home it was still undecided which meant at least it was a hung Parliament.

 

[Rktk]

I was always a fan of Ken Clarke. A shame he never led the Tories. He's the only guy that could have me not seething with hatred at them.

I've not been following politics for the entirety of his long political career but I'd agree from what I've seen.

 

[Dr.Acula]

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

(I'm Canadian, in Canada)

you're underestimating the impact of El Gato on the vote

 

[Wes]

yougov model still looking rather good..... underestimating Labour in some cases even?

 

[tuxfool]

why does she always have that fucking expression.

 

[Stead Fast]

Its 2015

Ah good year, except for all the Blue.

 

[jelly]

It would be quite amusing if the rich elite voted for Labour. I guess it makes sense if their careers etc depend on a soft Brexit or no Brexit.

[Deleted member 231381]

Yeah. That's the scary thing - YouGov looks to be fractionally underestimating Labour. f course, that might not be enough to change results significantly.

 

[Snarfington]

Croydon Central now Labour, get in, bruv!

Oh boy would this be great. Those Croydon Tories have been so sure of it.

 

[Acorn]

...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.

He's been very personable the last 3 weeks. Most passion I've seen from a Lab Leader since early 00s Blair.

 

[mo60]

What seats have labour won so far besides the ones annouced by BBC.

 

[Protome]

Ken Clarke is right; we should never have any referendums on anything ever again.

I disagree but we should definitely have a shake up of how we handle referendums. A simple majority for something as country/life destroying as Brexit was straight up stupid.
