Support NeoGAF

[Razzer]

Just got back from a long day of door to door in Telford, things looking super close there. But I was hearing on the grapevine that labour had lost a bunch of seats, then I come back to this exit poll? This is not what I heard internally lol, though I've no idea how reliable what I heard was.

 

[Funky Papa]

So are you guys making a jam or something?

 

[OverBlood 3]

She didn't even need to call an election...

 

[D4Danger]

I'm going to frame this if the result is true

 

[liquidtmd]

Wrexham rumoured to go Conservative???????

Lucas had a 2k advantage and it's usually a real pro labour area?

I voted Labour here 3 hours ago

 

[Randdalf]

Why is polling in the UK and the US so hard? In Germany we have projections as soon as the polling closes and they're usually pretty accurate.

That's exactly what we're getting excited about.

 

[kmag]

Christ, these Scotland results worry me. I really hope the Tories haven't succeeded up here.

The exit poll only has them on 7 up here. It's the Lib Dems and Labour who made up the majority of the gains on the SNP in the poll

 

[slider]

Cos I'm a pessimistic cunt, I'm gonna keep posting that I still expect a Conservative majority (i.e. over 326 seats).

Hey America, your turn to hold the beer again.

 

[Red Arremer]

Edit: Beaten.

this one's better tho.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Been out all day campaigning for Rupa Huq in the key battleground of Ealing Central and Acton and the poll suggests she will hold!

Yay!

I'm no fan of Corbyn but this poll, if it comes to be, is great result for those of us that don't support brexit. SNP and Lib-dems will be able to throw their weight around. If this comes true...there is hope.

 

[Taker666]

Christ, these Scotland results worry me. I really hope the Tories haven't succeeded up here.

It would be crazy if we could have had a Labour/SNP coalition..

...if not for the people of Scotland voting Tory.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

A Parliament can operate with a minority government (just, historically, not for very long). So technically no, but in reality yes.

Oh boy. Those will be exciting times in the UK.

 

[kirblar]

She didn't even need to call an election...

She didn't need to say she'd gut rights protections in the name of fighting terrorism either.

Choices.

 

[Thornton Reed]

I'm not too far from Wrexham, what have they done? lol.

BBC prediction it's going blue

 

[CrunchyB]

What? This is great! The Tories are hopefully going to be shafted and we'll see the back of May. There is still actually the skim chance we'll get a genuine socialist as prime minister.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I have nothing but contempt for May. I just realized that now both the UK and the USA are in the middle of perhaps the biggest political crisis in decades.

 

[kmag]

Still think they'll end up with a 20 seat majority.

 

[Hot Coldman]

who are these guys shouting RACHAEL on Sky News lmao

 

[Rktk]

 

[Breakage]

Guess ppl didn't want to strengthen May's hand.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

 

[D4Danger]

Still think they'll end up with a 20 seat majority.

maybe but it's still a great result compared to what could've been just two months ago

 

[nubbe]

The UK could, in theory, ask for an extension due to unstable political issues.

let me review your request...

DENIED

 

[Addnan]

England going red and Scotland turning blue. Fucking hell.

 

[Uzzy]

For footballGAF

Oooh sending this to my Chelsea supporting Labour voting friend.

 

[TiredofWinning]

Britain Elects saying Alex Salmond's and Angus Robertson's seat are looking close

 

[whyamihere]

She didn't need to say she'd gut rights protections in the name of fighting terrorism either.

Choices.

[naweednrahman]

I think labour are going to do pretty well, a lot better than people want to believe.

I think labour are gonna surge in polls soon.

Corbyn is doing well. He is going to get a hell lot of new virgin voters.

PLZ

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Edit: Beaten.

Amazing.

 

[War Peaceman]

A brexit negotiation which has to compromise with lib dems would be nice eh

This election Jeremy just said fuck it, let's do it and be legends man... and it seems to have worked out nicely.

 

[Cirion]

So when is the first round of real results to be expected?

 

[Ithil]

If they are as wrong as they were last time Tories could get a majority. Don't think they will be though. This is fucking hilarious. I feel like this right now...

Even if they just eek out a majority it's still a loss for May because the whole point of calling this election was to get a huge majority, instead it got them nothing and she looks like an idiot. That's the better case scenario for them too.

 

[31GhostsIV]

Anywhere I can see a breakdown of the exit polls? Specifically Wells constituency? I can only find a general summary online.

 

[Carl]

If it really is a hung parliament, surely May is out the door?

Yes surely

 

[Zakalwe]

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

I don't believe this is true at all.

He was the heart of the party.

 

[shaneskim]

 

[Charles Brandon]

Guess ppl didn't want to strengthen May's hand.

Hell no. She lost the run of herself badly in my opinion.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Politics is the gift that keeps on giving recently if we get a hung parliament.

Will be talking about this for years if May gets killed off.

 

[Shiggy]

Why is polling in the UK and the US so hard? In Germany we have projections as soon as the polling closes and they're usually pretty accurate.

The UK and German voting systems are different. In Germany, we vote both for a member of parliament for our voting district, and a party. Each party will be represented in parliament based on the share of votes they get with that second vote, regardless of how many members of a party got elected directly with the first vote.

In the UK, it's just all or nothing. If Labour wins a district, then all other votes of that district are without any meaning.

Based on that, it's much easier to reliable data from exit polls in Germany.

 

[Biggzy]

Fuck sake Scotland, this is not an independence referendum.

 

[Morat]

So are you guys making a jam or something?

I'm going to make shitloads of jam tomorrow.

 

[Auraela]

Rudd's barely going to win her seat if this exit poll is right.

Yea hastings had loads of writing on walls and stuff to vote labour etc

 

[BadHand]

Just imagine what the exit polls would be if the PLP supported Corbyn from the beginning.

 

[Theonik]

So are you guys making a jam or something?

Waiting for seats to be called. Got bottle of rum. Each new tory seat is a shot. Sounds like my suicide plan by rum is foiled.

 

[Syder]

Fuck sake Scotland, this is not an independence referendum.

It kind of is though...

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

What were the odds like on a hung parliament prior to the exit poll?

 

[DBT85]

who are these guys shouting RACHAEL on Sky News lmao

Whos Rachael?

 

[gngf123]

Scotland what are you doing.
