Swindon is the most marginal seat so far and they won't show us the figures? What's your game, Dimbleby?

Can't believe Motherwell will lose labour, it's been labour my whole life :/



Nah computer, was mentioned on BBC :p
Ah cheers, missed that! I'm bouncing between BBC 1, BBC 1 Scotland, Five Live, Sky Arts' weird production gallery and...Fight Club on ITV 4.

this is boring now. The exit poll is dominating the narrative and now they're asking the same question six different ways trying to get a sound bite.
 
I know I'm an outsider to all of this but just to let you guys know, CNN is reporting on this with Richard Quest riding a double decker bus.

Yikes, 4.2% swing TO the Tories in Swindon North, that's Tory majority territory:

Swindon North:
Con +6%
Lab -3%
UKIP +12%
Green +2%
LD -14%

OMG I love Quest. I fell in love with him when I went to NY and saw him on CNN where he RANDOMLY INCREASES HIS VOLUME for no real discernable REASON whilst asking OBVIOUSLY RHETORICAL QUESTIONS!

Then when I found he was caught in Central park off his nut on drugs with a sex toy, it made me so happy.

God I can't take more May on screen. I'm gonna cum.

Basically, although on the plus side the first marginal should be declaring in 15 mins, and the declarations should start coming in fast after 2AM. So we shouldn't have too much longer of this at least.

That's how it works until the results start coming in at full steam. There's nothing else to talk about except predictions & polls.

Paisley 76% turnout... Renfrewshire East over 80% turnout!!
 
I need to wait for the kids to get to bed. I'm six hours behind time wise, so I got plenty of time to catch up. Got a wee bottle of whisky & some Tunnocks here to go with it.

Ah man, you're perfectly placed six hours behind! All the juicy ones are around 3-4:30am GMT. I'm going to be cream crackered but it'll be around 9-10pm for you.

Aiesh, yep. This is game over. I might go to sleep soon, don't have the stomach for this.

That's huge. Couple more results with Tory/Lab swings like that and confirmation of SNP's absolute domination in Scotland and we're straight in to damage mitigation territory for Labour (the Lib Dems are already far beyond damage mitigation).

Targeted seats/campaigns... We should just tell people what they're voting for and the likely consequences, and make it easier to vote.

... Half tempted to see if I have CNN now. Hrm.

Even have tomorrow off as PTO because I'm going to the Austin Psych Fest. Going to be a good weekend, especially with the SNP result. :)

I fucking hate political PR. Almost everyone I've seen interviewed on the bbc has refused to answer any hypotheticals and just said wait for the result. Just answer the fucking question like a normal person. I swear to god if any party focused on being honest and not avoid questions instead of behaving like media trained robots they'd become massively more popular.

Man, its a shame mostly because of how horrible the press has been. It would have been nice to have a sense of them being overcome.
 
Jeffrey Donaldson seems to have got it again for Lagan Valley. It's a mystery why people still vote for him. Ah, well. It's no surprise for NI.

I know. I don't see how it can possibly be controversial for Theresa May to say "Well, if we're 5 seats short of a majority we'd definitely look in to the possibility of forming a minority government, as is commonly done on the Continent." I mean, duh.
