Support NeoGAF

[Orbis]

Very, very, very interesting. It's still very early days and I will always be skeptical when exit poll is different from the pre-election polls. We are in for a very long night.

 

[whyamihere]

HOLD ME IM SHOOK

 

[BossDarkseid]

HereWeFUCKINGGO

 

[HigXx]

I don't understand why after so much shit that the SNP would collapse?

Yeah I dont understand it either

I just hope theyve gone to Labour instead of Tory

 

[Ravensmash]

Oh my....


Oh myyyyyyyyyy

 

[Cirion]

Hung parliament is by far your best case scenario as it moves the power out of both May and Corbyn's hands.

Both sides. Horsheshoe. Yadda yadda. Go look at your Macron poster.

 

[Stead Fast]

fThat LD line looks fucking crucial in all this, FarronGAF, time to reassert whether it is integrity or immediate power you're after.

 

[Oriel]

Pound right now

 

[Scum]

"Shy" Tories, tho.

 

[jem0208]

Hooooly shit

 

[Acorn]

UKIP at 0 surely isn't right, is it? Could it be that even more points shift from Tory to UKIP?

Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

They had 1 seat. Who ended up defecting.

 

[Little Old Man]

Meanwhile in the countryside:

Muhahahahaha

 

[RangerX]

Would be a perfect result for me. Tories have to compromise with other parties. SNP have to put independence back in their box.

The is no way any other party except the DUP are touching the touching the Tories with a ten foot barge pole.

 

[Izuna]

"National crisis blah blah" don't Clegg me Farron. I'm Catholic, me and God are cool. He'll smite you.

lol

 

[.Detective.]

lol

 

[Uzzy]

HUW

LET US MAKE SWEET FUCKING LOVE

BY WHICH I MEAN

PROGRESSIVE COALITION

you know you want it

Crab and Huw finally consummating their love?

 

[Delusibeta]

If the exit poll is even somewhat accurate then surely this is surely the end of May.

Definitely. A reduction of the seats the Tories hold, and she'll probably resign Friday lunchtime. And, frankly, I think we can reasonably assume that the Tories have lost seats.

 

[Dougald]

UKIP at 0 surely isn't right, is it? Could it be that even more points shift from Tory to UKIP?

Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

UKIP only had one MP and he's not even in the party any more, their support has always been too broad to really get any seats

 

[sammex]

Congrats Huw!

 

[D4Danger]

even if the Tory counts goes up by some margin it still won't be the 400+ they wanted

 

[empyrean]

Hold me gaf. May having to resign would be beautiful.

 

[Theonik]

COALITION

OF

CHAOS

SO HUW. WILL LD JOIN OUT CAUSE?

 

[JonnyDBrit]

The exit poll has placed the Conservative party at 314 seats, but Labour, SNP and Liberal Democrat combined ALSO at 314 seats. The remaining few seats go to the green party, Plaid Cymru (Welsh party) and independents.

In other words, Conservative will probably win overall, but they might be a minority government meaning that they can't shaft the poor with impunity for the next five years.

And even if the polls are wrong and the Conservatives do get a majority, with this as a starting line of sorts, it could be a slimmer majority than what they start with. So May's backbenchers problem doesn't get better, but worse.

I don't understand why after so much shit that the SNP would collapse?



hopefully labour

Labour voters who went SNP in 2015 after they believed independence was dead. Now it shows they'll put up with Brexit as the Union is more important.

The concern now isn't seats flipping Labour, it's if these voters who've abandoned SNP from 2015 have now as a consequence let the Tories in.

 

[Captain Skeleton]

COALITION

OF

CHAOS

HELL YEAH!

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I don't understand why after so much shit that the SNP would collapse?



hopefully labour

I think it's probably a lot of Scottish National Party voters realising they'd be better off with Corbyn than with May. Tactical voting? I'm a unionist who voted Sinn Fein to keep the DUP out, hopefully.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

The brexit one or the 2015 election?

2015...

They underestimated the final number of Tory seats, but they caught the unexpected support for them. This time round, it seems that the exit poll has caught a noticeable increase in Labour support.

Well then. I'm still keeping my expectations in check though, refuse to let hope seep in only for it to be crushed in the morning.

 

[Muffin1611]

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

 

[Graphics Horse]

That cheer lol

 

[Jezbollah]

Crab and Huw finally consummating their love?

I always knew Crab and Huw would hook up at some stage. Im so proud!

 

[BoogieWoogie]

US GAF here. Godspeed Brits.

 

[Izuna]

So they may go back in to keep the cons honest ?

I see you like holding grudges

learn to forgive and forget

 

[CarlisleDavid1979]

Can't wait for the 2018 GE OT

 

[ferrasvansen]

So yougovs prediction model that ran was very close indeed, good stuff. I think I will stay up now and watch this. I had a feeling with the constant rain here in central Scotland SNP would struggle.

 

[show me your skeleton]

BRING ON THE CHAOS

 

[Empty]

if it's as wrong as in 2015 theresa may is still where she started with her reputation in tatters

 

[nubbe]

Pound right now

time for some amazon shopping

thanks May

 

[Delusibeta]

The is no way any other party except the DUP are touching the touching the Tories with a ten foot barge pole.

Maybe the UUP, but I doubt that May would be prepared to go into coalition with both the DUP and the UUP only to get a majority of one.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

0 UKIP is such bull, I mean come on. People are just shy in exit polls.

They only got 1 last time - Farage. He didn't stand and the only other seat(s) UKIP had last parliament was due to tory defections after a bi-election.

 

[Par Score]

In the past 25 years, the largest party's total has never been wrong by more than 15 seats in the exit poll.

Theresa May is overdone toast.

They only got 1 last time - Farage. He didn't stand and the only other seat(s) UKIP had last parliament was due to tory defections after a bi-election.

Farage has never been an MP.

Douglas Carswell defected from the Tories at a by-election and just scraped in at a GE.

 

[Boke1879]

How long before we know full results?

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Haha big cheers outside Broadcasting House at UKIP projected to get 0 seats

 

[Real Hero]

I can't believe it

 

[offshore]

It's these moments like these that I love twitter.

 

[Futurematic]

1974 here we go.

 

[slider]

OMFG>

TORIES 314.
LABOUR 266 + LDs 16 + SNP 34 =.......... 316

I think the exit poll had the LDs at 14, right? Totalling 314. Ain't things funny.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

If the exit poll is even somewhat accurate then surely this is surely the end of May.

Even if the final picture is a bit rosier than this, she's probably toast.

This was meant to be a 1983/1997-level victory for Team Blue - she couldn't have ballsed this up any more considering the hand she was dealt.

 

[Faddy]

I don't understand why after so much shit that the SNP would collapse?



hopefully labour

SNP haven't had these seats for long. They only won 6 in 2010, 56 in 2015.

We will see how well these exit polls shake out. Scotland will only be a subsample so the margin of error might be greater.

 

[Monty Mole]

Who is going to prop up the Tories?

 

[PowderedToast]

I'm literally shaking

Hold.me poligaf
