[twobear]

Does seem like the UKIP voters are not going exclusively to Tories, interesting.

 

[VegiHam]

Hearing Conservatives not confident of taking City of Chester - despite Labour 98 majority in 2015, and Ukip (4k in 2015) not standing.

Did my part, voted for Chris to stay!

 

[Stead Fast]

Best possible title!

 

[Feorax]

If that Yougov poll materialises and gets us close to that 302 figure, I might be drunk forever.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Comeooooonn!!! Coalition of Chaos all over my face.

 

[Hot Coldman]

thread title gonna jinx it

 

[Occam]

Hope it works out for the best and May gets screwed.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

If nothing else, Corbyn has mounted a fantastic fucking campaign.

I'll believe Tories not getting a majority when I see it, very skeptical.

Is a minority government likely or will Lib Dems and SNP back out of their coalition claims and just go for it?

 

[sphagnum]

PM Comrade Corbyn in the 100th year anniversary of the Russian Revolution would be hilarious. It must happen.

 

[Tregard]

 

[BronsonLee]

So I don't know shit about BritPolitics

What's the deal with the exit poll?

 

[itsbenoclock]

Half of me trying to stay barely awake other half still reeling from the exit polls. Generally on a high from sleep deprivation

 

[Delusibeta]

YouGov's estimate was 58% Con, 28% Labour

YouGov's model is not infallible.

 

[Jibbed]

This needs to be in the OP.

 

[Madchad]

Clegg on the edge :O

 

[KingSnake]

Best OT title in a long time.

 

[thequickandthedead]

HARD BREXIT NOW

 

[Acorn]

You cannae steal that off us Islington.

 

[Monty Mole]

Is this a real tweet and if so what's the background?

And why would a politician use such foul language on a public platform?

 

[kess]

Lib Dem vote getting demolished.

 

[Mr Git]

Need a Tory to call it the Rebel Alliance and unwittingly refer to themselves as the Empire.

 

[weekev]

Corbyn now 2/1 for PM.....and shortening.

 

[Red Arremer]

Does seem like the UKIP voters are not going exclusively to Tories, interesting.

'course, some of them are realizing that Tories are going to take every last shirt on their bodies.

What's the deal with the exit poll?

Exit Polls have Conservatives looking like they lost seats, when the entire reason they called this election, was to gain an easy majority.

 

[Stead Fast]

So I don't know shit about BritPolitics

What's the deal with the exit poll?

Predictive data collected at polling stations across the country. It's by no means perfect, but a good barometer.

Edit:

Or if you meant by this particular one, it says no party can form a majority in the Commons on their own, so no parliament can be formed without a coalition again.

 

[gngf123]

OP add this please.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Basildon the first really significant YouGov miss - first time they've had both major parties outside the MoE.

11 out of 12 ain't bad tho

 

[SprachBrooks]

So much for that unelectable opposition. Or weak opposition. I can't remember how they tried spinning it lol. Centrism is well and truly dead.

 

[Lo-Volt]

Tory sources say Battersea has been lost to Labour, meaning a defeated Treasury minister.

 

[whyamihere]

Basildon the first really significant YouGov miss - first time they've had both major parties outside the MoE.

Bound to happen eventually.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

You and me both.

Shall we hold on to that bit of hope or ignore it?

 

[Filthy Casual]

Hopefully it doesn't turn sour

 

[Syder]

Lib Dem vote getting demolished.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

I am proud to be the originator of this OT's glorious banner.

What's the deal with the exit poll?

The exit poll predicts the kind of result we would expect from a UK election. Usually it's off slightly or close to the actual result. So far it looks like it may be correct.

Jesus christ you have to be joking.

Doesn't need to be a coalition.

 

[Izuna]

Bruh

Every Tory voter, what you doing?

 

[scotcheggz]

Was playing D&D tonight, took a break for the exit poll. D&D went to shit... Fucking awesome. Suck it down May.

 

[31GhostsIV]

Mmm, these are good. Anyone want one?

 

[Beefy]

Ukip vote splitting 50:50 Con: Lab or even in Lab favour is driving exit poll.

At beginning of campaign pollsters had 69% to Con. 5% to Lab

[Plum]

This night is going faster than I expected. I really hope it all turns out well.

 

[kirblar]

Correct. YouGov thinks Labour are overperforming in the marginals - the suburban vote (this isn't the same vote as suburban America, before kirblar comments - UK cities radiate outwards, American cities are economic donuts).

Suburban votes here are varied- inner ones lean blue, exurbs red. (The redder exurbs and upper-middle class areas were the areas that are swinging D away from R)

How are the UK ones different? The 1%ers are always concentrated in the hub?

 

[Empty]

broxborne yougov tory 58%, reality 62

nuneaon yougov tory 46, reality 52

basildon yougov tory 50, reality 61

middlesborugh yougov labour 59, reality 65

starting to fall away

 

[gngf123]

Wait, did they just say Labour were likely to get Thurrock? I was sure that would go Conservative after the UKIP split.

 

[HandsomeCharles]

So I don't know shit about BritPolitics

What's the deal with the exit poll?

It indicated that the Conservatives would become the largest party, but not have an overall majority of seats in our House of Commons. This means that when voting on legislation, they would not be able to simply "walk things through" and could be held up by the other parities.

This is a good thing, because the Conservatives have a habit of shafting anyone who isn't on a six-figure salary.
