Hope this happens. So what's going to happen to BREXIT?

It's going to be a bloodbath but fuck it, it was going to be a bloodbath anyway.

This at least makes me smile as my country tanks

 

[Mr. Sam]

Is the Parliament automatically hung if the tories don't get a majority? How does that work?

Another party would have to have a majority - i.e. a hung Parliament is a Parliament in which no single party holds a majority - and the massive likelihood is that they wouldn't.

 

[norinrad]

Suck it Dacre!

Hehehehe, hehehehe ahahaha.

 

[Faddy]

yes tories gaining seats in scotland... amazing... >_>

There literally aren't 22 seats in Scotland where the Tories are in contention. Losing 22 means Labour and Lib Dems have put on a decent amount of seats.

 

[Empty]

surely no way gower stays conservative on that exit poll

 

[Ashes]

Exit poll for Scottish has a lot of 50/50s . Radio 5 live.

 

[Einchy]

lol @ Vince.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

I'm a stupid American with little understanding of the UK political system. What happened? Everyone seems to be in better spirits than complete and utter despair which is strange and unusual and it's scaring me but like in a good way.

Theresa May called the election because she was 20 points ahead of Labour, and Corbyn was deeply unpopular. The poll suggests she will lose seats, which means she's completely fucked up.

So if Lib,Lab, SNP and Caroline Lucas join up they'd have a 1 seat majority.

Man, I would love Caroline Lucas to be part of government. She is wasted on the backbenches.

Nice, my constituency is predicted to swing back to labour

yeah but tories will have gained too, they can only go up from 1 seat after all.

I am so fucking pumped right now

I'M OUT FUCKERS PEACE

Yup. Tories need to stay in with a pathetic majority. Their Brexit will destroy the party for generations.

 

[Syder]

Tory MPs are in complete disbelief

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Lolol sky were just showing tweets and saw this.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Exit polls show Labour 266, LD 16 and SNP 34 that makes 316 total. They can't form a three-way coalition, right? They will pull from indies I guess.

A couple of PC and that Green seat as well. Still wouldn't make a majority though - unless we got some crazy WWE storytelling shit and Sinn Fein make a surprise entrance and actually take their seats.

"... and what's this? BY GAWD, IT'S GERRY ADAMS WITH A STEEL CHAIR"

 

[Betty]

UKIP being at 0 is nice.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Exit poll has Ipswich as still being Conservative.

Shithouse!

 

[liquidtmd]

Corbyn has been key to the young vote.

This cannot be stressed enough.

From the 2015 election, to 3/4 of his party shitting on him, to most shitting on him (myself included at times), to Brexit, to the entire establishment press shitting on him...to get THIS exit poll????

He's very impressive in many regards

 

[Breakage]

And just like her she'd deserve nothing less than a old favourite at no.1 in the charts at her passing. I don't know how anyone could take that comparison and not realize the impending shit storm she'd invoke.

Yeah agreed. I think the "dementia tax" and her suggesting that the police were "crying wolf" over cuts likely sealed her fate.

 

[Madchad]

lol @ Vince.

was my reaction to lol

 

[Morat]

ALL THE KIDS TURNED UP TO VOTE.

Fuck yes.

 

[Coffinhal]

If Corbyn wasn't leader there would have had much more votes for Labour.

Bad faith : an allegory.

This site paints a grimmer picture for the Tories.

May made Hillary Clinton look like a good campaigner.

I fucking hate the banter on BBC.

 

[Green Yoshi]

If I lose just six seats I will lose this election and Jeremy Corbyn will be sitting down to negotiate with Europe:

totally expected. They're nothing now.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

The thread's title ended up being incredibly accurate, but not in the way anyone expected.

We are only a year out from Brexit tho

 

[Rubbish King]

can't deal

Worse than Cameron calling the vote for brexit?

 

[Wvrs]

I'm watching the results in the student union pub and the applause at 10pm was heartwarming. Settling in for the night, let's go!

 

[cyberheater]

pure speculation,

Of course it is.

well apart from the obvious... ya know, brexit.

 

[oti]

Dumb American gaijin here.

Is the meltdown happening in here a good or bad thing for you UK guys?

Depends. Do you like an omnipresent security apparatus that can snoop in your daily life and a leader who wants to "rip apart" human rights in the name of security and fighting terrorism while transforming the nation into a tax haven in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?

If so this result is heartbreaking for you.

Nice, my constituency is predicted to swing back to labour

Is there anywhere I can see the constituency breakdown? I'm interested in mine. I've felt that it might go conservative even though it is normally Labour. I think I missed it on the BBC.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Another party would have to have a majority - i.e. a hung Parliament is a Parliament in which no single party holds a majority - and the massive likelihood is that they wouldn't.

Wouldn't they need another election then?

 

[Jezbollah]

Vinny Mac on Sky News' twitter feature.

This night keeps delivering.

 

[Xando]

So if exit poll is correct and May has to resign. How long are Brexit negotiations gonna get delayed this time?

 

[Morat]

UKIP being at 0 is nice.

So good. Back to the pit from whence they came.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Let's not forget that if May loses ''just six seats'' that Jezza will be sitting down to negotiate with the EU. I mean she said it herself.
