So: (caveat being accuracy of the Exit poll)

Con + LD (with only 10) in a coalition
or
Con minority government..

Wow.

 

[Exterminieren]

Fucking astonishing.

I cannot honestly see the Tory lead being that much. I mean, yeah, Shy Tories and all that, but 78 seats?

 

[offshore]

Wonder which is the sole non-SNP Scottish MP who has kept their seat. Seeing Douglas Alexander being booted out would be so goddamn satisfying.

 

[Matt_]

that lib dem collapse
clegg gonna keep his seat?

 

[operon]

Fuck this shit and if the dup get to join with the government we're fucked

 

[Number45]

Would a majority of ten for ConLibDUP be any better? (Probably not)

Following the live updates here, seems to suggest it would be?

 

[Pyroclastic]

Zero. They are almost always hilariously wrong.

which other times were they this wide of the mark if indeed this one is? 92, and when else?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I have literally no idea how that could be true unless the pollsters were horrifically wrong. It's the equivalent of a national poll showing 37/29; absolutely totally and entirely outside the bounds of any pollster.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Oh god I hope that forecast is wrong. Tories have already made it hard for the poor such as myself and it's only going to get worse with them in charge. Fuck.

 

[Atrophis]

Didn't one of the guys running the exit pole say it would probably be widely inaccurate this time?

 

[BadHand]

All those UKIP voters chickening out at the last minute and stopping a split vote?

 

[Raynes]

Hahahahaha so fucked good thing I'm leaving this shit hole. As long as we have FPTP and not PR we are going to get more and more of this bullshit.

 

[The Cowboy]

Please be wrong, if Cameron gets back in then all the shit he's put the poor through for the past few years will be allowed to continue - and he'll do more i bet, much more - if this is true then i loose my house (and access to my daughter) for sure.

Surely the general public don't hate the poor this much right?, i mean for the love of god be wrong .

 

[tomtom94]

BLUKIP might actually be a thing. Feel sick.

 

[iNvid02]

i rubbed my eyes just to be sure

 

[painey]

oh this aint good. Not just that, but my VPN is too slow to watch iPlayer so im lumped with some shite ITV coverage on my US telly

 

[uncleniccius]

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on those numbers.

None of the polling has suggested there would such a huge landslide in favour of the Tories and while I can agree that there might be some shy Tories out there, is it really reasonable to believe there are that many?

1992 was the same situation.
People are happy with the coalition seemingly, or at least in England they find it preferable to the labour party.

 

[PJV3]

Hope it's wrong but I have a bad feeling it isn't. Except for the Libdem's.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Didn't one of the guys running the exit pole say it would probably be widely inaccurate this time?

Unless he was planning on pissing all over the results, I don't think that's necessarily anything to invest in

 

[Masquerader]

Oh, wow. Moving out of this place has become an even more urgent priority for me if the exit poll's accurate.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

All those UKIP voters chickening out at the last minute and stopping a split vote?

Well Cameron promised an EU referendum didn't he? Guess they thought it was worth going Tory.

 

[Daffy Duck]

BBC have hired the same graphics team who did the crowd for Forza 4

Bravo. Lol.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Please be wrong, if Cameron gets back in then all the shit he's put the poor through for the past few years will be allowed to continue - and hell do more i bet, much more - if this is true then i loose my house (and access to my daughter) for sure.

Surely the general public don't hate the poor this much right?, i mean for the love of god be wrong .

Very, very worrying numbers. Time to pack my bags and swim myself out of the UK.

 

[Tak3n]

Taxi for Miliband

 

[Empty]

Oh god the 'legitimacy' nonsense starts early.

eh, legitimacy matters in the sense that labour party as as a major political force are absolutely not going to form a government with that result. miliband will probably resign and they need to rethink their strategy instead of getting clobbered in public opinion for trying to sneak into power even if it's entirely right they can.

 

[Black Republican]

live video bbc http://www.bbc.com/news/live/election-2015-32594267#

works for me, from canada

 

[Wes]

that lib dem collapse
clegg gonna keep his seat?

It does make you wonder...

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Michael Gove considers a potential minority result to give them 'considerable authority'. Yeah, okay then.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Already had my fill of Gove.

Please go.

 

[Incognito]

Lol my bet is FUCKED btw.

This is like an E3 thread.

yep. i had a short position in Fx predicated on a few weeks of uncertainty and miliband ultimately becoming PM, but GPB has just gone up a lot and i hit my stop position. yikes.

 

[Lucius86]

Wow...is there anyone here supporting the tories except me?!

 

[Jezbollah]

I really dont want a Con/DUP coalition. No thanks.

 

[Lego Boss]

WTF?

How is it possible that every other poll was wrong until this point?

Unless there has been a swing from the UKIP to Tory in the vote share, which wouldn't have an impact on their seats?

OR LibDem have gone Tory?

Can this really be correct?

 

[driver116]

BBC have hired the same graphics team who did the crowd for Forza 4

LMAO

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Michael Gove considers a potential minority result to give them 'considerable authority'. Yeah, okay then.

To get those kinds of results, nationally we'll be looking at 37/29. I detest the Tories as much as the next person, but that is a clear victory by votes; if not by seats. That's a fairly good democratic mandate.

 

[N7Commander95]

Hope to high hell this is wrong

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Like, how are these figures even possible?

First Past The Post

Well done Nick Robinson in teaching Michael Gove basic English and logic.

 

[haxamin]

 

[CyclopsRock]

Guys, the doctors said if my erection stayed up for this long I should call him, but his phone's busy. What shall I do?

Man, it could be totally wrong but I really hope this is right.

 

[Jezbollah]

That was nice of Guy Martin to carry that first ballot box.

 

[JonathanEx]

YouGov have also done an exit-ish-poll (contacting people who have voted who they have polled before) for The Sun.

Tom Newton Dunn
Breaking: YouGov exit poll - CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1 http://www.sunnation.co.uk/up-split-creek-no-clear-winner-as-polls-close/

 

[deli2000]

Every single possible tory coalition to me sounds really awful. It's going to be a long night.

 

[Omikaru]

That exit poll is depressing. Only positive is SNP taking 58 seats, but with those Tory numbers it's not enough to block them.

 

[Ushojax]

I have a horrible feeling that exit poll is accurate. Never underestimate the stupidity of the middle class.

 

[nib95]

The fuck. Pollsters can't have been that far off surely? Israel all over again. Sigh.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

holy crap

laughing so hard now, miliband should be gone soon I guess

 

[PJV3]

That new law about strike ballots is on the cards then

 

[Number45]

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on those numbers.

None of the polling has suggested there would such a huge landslide in favour of the Tories and while I can agree that there might be some shy Tories out there, is it really reasonable to believe there are that many?

If the swing seats are *REALLY* close, would it take that many to make the difference?

Wow...is there anyone here supporting the tories except me?!

You're not alone. I'm still on the fence, despite having voted.

 

[Little Old Man]

If the polls are true I say unto you fellow northerners: let us succeed the from the southern butchers, and join the wildlings north of the wall. We need a King in the North!

 

[Raist]

Is this racing this for real? lmfao.
