What confuses me is Corbyn specifically ruled out forming a coalition with SNP/Lib Dems did he not? Didn't he shout no deals? Where does that leave us

Because it's not a proportional system and it's much harder to weight properly the national polls to fit the structure of the FPTP/electoral college. Practically each contest it's like a small presidential election and the samples are not big enough (it would mean a huge effort to do that) to be as representative as in the case of a proportional system.
IF it *is* true, can we get a 100ft cardboard cutout of Corbyn flicking a V-sign erected outside the Sun offices?

So would the best result be a minority tory government while SNP keeps at least 40 seats?
you have to say that. Labour even have a rule about it.
nobody is going to pass this opportunity up if it's there
Soooo...
Things UK politicians in high positions should not do:
* approach married or underage pigs without a supervisor present
* go near magnets
* bet on anything at all
* start wars because they're best buddies with some imbecile
* ...
Can't wait for the papers. You guys have such a colourful and biased press, that's gonna be a treat.

Lol no, assuming the youth army delivered based on these results, Labour wouldn't have had that with any other candidate. Corbyn did well. If the PLP didn't organise the most incompetent coup in history then Labour would have had more votes.
TACO BELL IS LIFE
Seriously though, once those exit polls came in, I ran across the road to the bar that is doing the Labour celebration tomorrow and my god is the mood jovial. The attitude is that it could all be wrong, but we'll deal with the hangover tomorrow. For the next couple of hours, we celebrate.
Also, got here as the landlady was being told the news on the phone and we hugged. Was one of those moments I was so glad to be here for.

GAME is the most Tory Britain games retailer on the high street
Yeah, even if Labour don't come out on top this is showing that people want Corbyn's Labour. PLP standing in the way really have been fucking things over for their party.

You're a big guy.
For posterity's sake, I don't believe that poll.
But I hope it proves right. May deserves to be punished. She is a liar, she is irresponsible and she is incompetent.

Oh look, another lazy liberal talking point about how leftist policies inevitably lead to electoral defeat is about to be demolished. Hopefully.

Kinda conflicted. Don't want LAB owning Brexit. But we are playing to win.

Old Theresa May tweets are basically old Trump tweets now
haha people called you a dreamer or said that it couldn't happen because Corbyn is competent or whatever

If they're accurate, it would be foolish to try and stay.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Lynton Crosby has fucked up for the third time in a row: Australia GE, London Mayor, and now this. Might be seeing the back of him soon. It's all looking quite reminiscent of the last Australian election (incumbent government lost seats when calling election to gain a stronger majority).
At least May didn't blow up her entire country along with her prime minister-ship the way that Cameron did.

Minority government, OR Conservative/SNP if Nicola plays ball. Farron will be a disgrace if he goes back on those reports he isn't interested in striking a coalition, and any other party would be too small to be justifiable - it would be a naked attempt for the Tories to swallow them into their ranks, rather than a coalition.

Indeed. All that money wasted only to end in a weaker position. Strong and stable my arse.

They charge £45 for a used copy of GTA V and call it a "Bargain".
Even worse she called it. What a backfire if things turn out as suggested.
This was a screen grab I took a few days ago and posted in this thread in relation to bookie odds of Conservative share of the vote....
In Scotland that's exactly how Scottish Labour, Lib Dems and especially the Tories framed it. Very depressing if it worked.

so if tories win (marginally) will corbyn stay?
i say f yeah?
i say f yeah?
I imagine it was said to maintain a sense of commitment to his own party. But i dont think it's something he would pass up on if it means getting rid of the tories,

The prediction poll is that close for a lot of the Scottish constituencies too. This is going to be a nail biter.
Last few polls for Scottish voting intention implied an increase in Labour voters. Wouldn't surprise me if that splits the vote and the Tories don't actually gain that many votes.
Most people don't vote Tactically, they just like Corbyn and didn't realise voting SNP was the best way to support him.
