Support NeoGAF

[Stead Fast]

At least May didn't blow up her entire country along with her prime minister-ship the way that Cameron did.

Hey! She could still push the red button if she thinks the country has turned it's back on her tonight.

Late to the thread but


Holy fuck at the exit poll

Where the fuck you been

 

[Audioboxer]

Anything less than 40 for the SNP and Sturgeon might have to resign. Which would be a big loss for us so I hope the Unionists will be happy if they let 10~15 Tories in up here.

 

[Mimosa97]

I love the BBC but this is boring as hell. Where the party at BritishGaf ?

As a french dude I was rooting for labour (even though I'm not a big fan of Jezza) but eh Charizard not getting a majority would be a victory.

 

[Real Hero]

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

He's saved then from themselves, he really is J.C

 

[WorldofMiku]

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

If we use the exit polls, even if Labour makes a coalition with SNP and Lib Dems, it will not be enough to win 326 seats.

 

[Uzzy]

This exit poll can't be true. No, I won't believe it.

 

[Lo-Volt]

It's actually really shocking that all the big parties are going deep into each other's territory based on these poll results. Labour losses in Wales after they did better in opinion polls late in the campaign? The Conservatives blowing it in a England when on balance they've been gaining ground as New Labour receded? The SNP losing seats with big previous leads in 2015? (Has the desire for independence become brittle in the last few years?)

 

[Morat]

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.

yet to come.. also may had no reason to call for that snap election except her being greedy as f..

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Didn't someone bet £50 on hung parliament ?

 

[Daffy Duck]

It goes to show how utterly insane the claims of Jeremy Corbyn being "weak" are. Strong and stable leadership from the Conservatives? Two disgraced leaders in a year says otherwise. On the other side, Jeremy Corbyn has endured two leadership challenges and the most sustained media smear campaigns in recent memory and is stronger than ever.

 

[cyberheater]

Scotland what are you doing.

No one wants indyref2. Get fucked SNP.

 

[PJV3]

Your wife must be happy.

 

[Meadows]

This is an awful result, our currency is going to crash and there will be no workable government

 

[Delusibeta]

so if tories win (marginally) will corbyn stay?

i say f yeah?

If he winds up with an increased seat count, he's staying for the foreseeable.

In British election nights, you don't arrive at a party, you make one!

In all honesty outside of social media this is very much a tedious affair.

 

[hohoXD123]

Is the Corbyn is completely unelectable view dead now?

 

[jimbobsmells]

I'd love it if that poll was true, but the painful memories of the last one are still fresh in my mind.

 

[And_Gignac]

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

Choices.

that was a choice indeed.

 

[slider]

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).

Bringing them down from the inside? Maybe Crosby is an anarchist??

Here's that tweet

was that gif animated on sky news, or static?

 

[StayDead]

I'm so fucking tense right now.

We could be saved a Tory leadership. We could be free!

 

[D4Danger]

This is an awful result, our currency is going to crash and there will be no workable government

that happen last year

 

[AHA-Lambda]

No one wants indyref2. Get fucked SNP.

speak for yourself, as someone who voted no previously. This is just going to open doors for tories here

 

[War Peaceman]

just preparing for what brexit will be like

I have about 20,000kcal worth of snacks and drinks. LETS GET IT ON.

 

[ANuclearError]

I think the SNP will be fine if they keep above 40 at least, if they get above 45, then definitely shouldn't be a big deal. 2015 was always the insane exception, was never going to be the norm.

 

[Lo-Volt]

Is the Corbyn is completely unelectable view dead now?

If the party stops fucking with him, maybe. Whatever one thinks of Jeremy Corbyn, having the shadow cabinet run from him doesn't help his feasibility as a PM or a strong opposition leader.

 

[Dusk Prophet]

Fucking hell bbc says 50% chance of labour winning Telford, 50% chance of tories winning it. Come on Sahota!

Kuldip gonna deliver.

 

[Graphics Horse]

He's a long way from a majority tbf
Better than Millibnd at least!

Press is being generous. It's borderline, If not already, propaganda.

 

[Randomizer]

So glad everyone was so pessimistic. We braced for the absolute worst, so anything is better than that.

 

[Zaph]

the power of the dinky deckers

 

[Hasney]

This exit poll can't be true. No, I won't believe it.

To be fair, I find quiches are best served with some salt.

Spoiler

My hangover tomorrow may regret this, but let me have this

 

[Huw_Dawson]

When everyone thinks May is the new Thatcher, and she's actually the new Heath.

 

[LiK]

UK politics are just as crazy as the US now.

 

[jimbobsmells]

This is an awful result, our currency is going to crash and there will be no workable government

Let's get the 'Thanks Theresa' meme going

 

[cyberheater]

If the exit polls are correct. It's a clear message that Scots don't want IndyRef2.

 

[Breakage]

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

Suggesting that the police were crying wolf in regards to cuts a few years ago prolly didn't​ do her any favours either.

 

[roytheone]

On the Roytheone FUCKEDITUP meter (tm), between Canada on one side and America on the other, where are we about right now?

 

[Newman96]

Fuck sake, my constituency predicted to go Tory (Newport East)...one of the most deprived areas in the country.

 

[And_Gignac]

Is the Corbyn is completely unelectable view dead now?

The view that the left shouldnt go all the way is dead now. I hope liberals learn from this.


Btw, WHERE IS MY BOY BLAIR UH!?

Yep. Hope this all comes down on her. A hung parliament would be a slap to her face.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

The SNP losing seats with big previous leads in 2015? (Has the desire for independence become brittle in the last few years?)

Anecdotal evidence I know, but from what I know some SNP voters have reverted back to Labour because of Corbyn, and some have lost interest in the SNP after Brexit because they don't like their pro-EU views.

Old Theresa May tweets are basically old Trump tweets now

Lol at the likes, seems fitting.

 

[avaya]

Realistically this means another election in 6 months unless the 76 marginals which are too tight all end up Tory....
