Sorry mate. Yep I mis-typed and added up. EQUAL.

I secretly gave two more for Huw for his engagement with Crab.

Ha, I had to check my working four times. Yep, four times for such a simple sum.

Love you Huw! Me and my wife voted LD as it goes. Saw a neighbour at the polling station (who was following the Tactical 2017 advice to vote Labour) and we both agreed we didn't want the Conservatives although that's what we expected. Surprised for where I am (Hammond's our MP).

What election food does everyone have?

I got myself some Manicotti, a quart of Ministrone, a whole damn loaf of bread and I'm washing it down with the sweet satisfaction that everyone can suck my dick because I'm eating Italian FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd

Post your dinner, cause it's not better than mine.

 

[Zoibie]

For a US gaffer, how many seats did the Tories have before this? Did they have majority prior?

They had 330, they need 326 for a majority. If the exit polls bare out, this is a massive backfire.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

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.



Farage has never been an MP.

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

You're right - I was thinking of Carswell, ta!

 

[naweednrahman]

Tbh, my expectations have been for labour to rise and provide competition! I won't be upset if they lose overall. As long as these set of results illustrate that May's vision is incorrect and force her out then that is half a win!

 

[Izuna]

My boy on BBC speaking the fucking truth.

Screw a coilition with Corbyn.

 

[KingSnake]

So, what Tory is next in line for the leadership only to fuck him/herself ASAP? Cameron, May, ...?

 

[AllGamer]

Comey and this. Today is just beautiful.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

And the Tories, while in power, instituted this new vote to further their numbers only for it to horrendously backfire?

Wow May's an IDIOT

Hence I think it'd be the end of her career outright. No-one would take her judgement seriously.

 

[Jezbollah]

Emily Thornberry on Sky News right now. Proper shit-eating grin

How long to count the votes?

 

[Auraela]

Theres vote labour and everything all over hastinfs town centre on benches and walls etc would be amazing if that helped

 

[Beefy]

Put it this way. If the exit poll is off by 30 seats to the Tories it doesn't save May.

How much are they usually off?

 

[fenners]

If SNP is sub 40 does that kill IndyRef2...

Yes.

 

[Madchad]

He had a stroke 5 years ago.

i know that hes just looking a bit rekt tonight compared to normal

Guess he didnt want the night off

 

[DavidDesu]

Hung parliament, potential for coalition of the good guys... WHUT!? Please may it be true. May should be done for regardless. Absolutely fucked it if this is remotely close to the result.

Wow.



Please please please..

 

[ferrasvansen]

I think the papers blew it for May, the filth over the last two days backfired, social media was full of anti Sun and Mail sentiment. Looks like a great result for Labour, I don't mind the SNP losing some seats as long as it doesn't keep Tories in a majority.

don't you do it, Huw

don't you dare

 

[Autodidact]

Tentative congratulations, UKGAF! Maybe the world really will return to sanity this year.

 

[CTLance]

Wow. Nicely done, my dear Brits.

Although... SNP got obliterated if it stays like this. A pity, I kinda like them, even if their non-stop drive for independence is dangerous. SNP were the only ones who kept a clear head when Brexit happened, at least that's my view from the outside.

A hung parliament would be a thing of beauty. Amazeballs.
May would get sent to the recycling plant so fast, she wouldn't even be able to utter another "strong and stable". Tories got depantsed in public, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Finally: Huw. I know you're happy. But please. Please, don't die of alcohol poisoning and/or picking a fight with someone bigger than you. You've got aso much to live for, it's useless to throw it all away in one exhilarating night of sex, drugs, and Farron worship.

 

[kmag]

My SLAB pal. It's better up here for SLAB,, but he doubts the SNP have lost that many. They're thinking closer to 16.

 

[whyamihere]

This is craaaaazy.

 

[gngf123]

I'm honestly taking this as a win. Looking at the exit poll history, the worst realistic case is 336 seats for the conservative party. Almost no increase over what they had.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

If SNP is sub 40 does that kill IndyRef2...

It's certainly a very heavy blow, not sure if it'll kill it though given the scottish parliament's mandate?

If tories are cruel they'd actually call for it, given the weak position for it thinking it'd lose.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Ming is so fucking smug right now.

We knew this would be a good election for us. A ha ha ha ha!

 

[Stead Fast]

Nice! Also, forgot what our Default theme looked like.

 

[Breakage]

I want to see Theresa May in tears as she resigns. Get absolutely fucked.

She was supposed to be the Iron Lady Mk.2

 

[CCS]

Young people, you the real MVPs

 

[Audioboxer]

If SNP is sub 40 does that kill IndyRef2...

The vote will probably still go ahead when Brexit is further down the line (or completed) and is fucking the UK up. It might show the battle to convince Scots to vote YES is going to be very very hard.

 

[Chinner]

Will the lib demo betray us and go tory again if this scenario is true?

 

[Cirion]

UK GAF, Plaid Cymru is more leaning towards the left, correct? So they could be a backup for a Labour+LD+SNP coalition along with the Greens, right?

Even if they manage an official coalition, that would be a highly unpredictable, volatile and unstable coalition. Even more so when Labour goes minority government. With this hung parliaments, fringe parties like Plaid Cymru, even if their politics are nice in theory, would have unprecented power over the government.

 

[Vagabundo]

hahah May you asshole.

 

[moggio]

Yaaaas. I hope this is hung to fuck.

 

[Carl2291]

So, what Tory is next in line for the leadership only to fuck him/herself ASAP? Cameron, May, ...?

Ruth Davidson is probably a front runner.

 

[Inferno313]

Confused-American here. Everyone on my Twitter is freaking out that the Conservatives won but everyone in this thread seems really happy. Can someone explain?

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

I'm absolutely knackered but the last two times I went to sleep during big elections Trump became President of USA and we left the European Union.

I'm too scared to go to sleep.

 

[SirRattleBalls]

The Lib Dems better not fuck us over this time round, im thinking a joint party alliance with SNP, Lib Dem and the others.

 

[Delusibeta]

There's no way either the Lib Dems or the Tories would go into coalition for a measly two seat majority.

 

[Dreadnought]

Whats happening who's winning

 

[mo60]

I had a feeling since this election started that the snap election would backfire on the tories, but I never expected it to backfire this bad.

 

[PJV3]

Will the lib demo betray us and go tory again if this scenario is true?

They had better fucking not.

 

[Dougald]

.

 

[SporeCrawler]

so corbyn could become PM? lololol

I'm absolutely knackered but the last two times I went to sleep during big elections Trump became President of USA and we left the European Union.

I'm too scared to go to sleep.

its not like you can change anything, either way may is done

 

[jem0208]

Will the lib demo betray us and go tory again if this scenario is true?

I hope to fuck they don't.

They'll be dead for ever if they do though.

 

[cyberheater]

How much are they usually off?

Exit polls are normally quite accurate but they have been wrong by a large margin in recent years hence people holding their breath.

 

[D4Danger]

I guess now May can claim the naughtiest thing she's ever done is blow a 20 point lead

 

[kmag]

Ruth Davidson is probably a front runner.

She's not an MP. I know she wasn't actually standing for the Ruth Davidson party despite what the literature in my cat's litter tray says
