I might have helped swing a constituency

Common Battersea

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

Temporary dip while everything is completely uncertain that'll recover just as fast. No need to go into meltdown just yet.

 

[cyberheater]

The exit poll is predicting them short of a majority.

I hope they are right and I'm wrong.

 

[Murkas]

I hate this part

 

[Bergerac]

Takeaway time.

Extra Large mixed kebab.

Just because.

Ordered mine in advance, was feeling lucky.
I'll feel greasy later.

 

[D4Danger]

I looked at the daily mail site

my schadenfreude levels are dangerously high

 

[TrutaS]

I hope this year the surprise is for Labour's benefit!

 

[fenners]

I'm fascinated to see the swings, there has to be some really big ones. Like the 2015 swings. Then it'll be where do they end up? Is it Labour getting the seats, or do 2015 SNP voters let Tories in (by voting for Labour or switching to Conservative themselves).

It's crazy. Lots of 50:50 commentary about the Scottish polls too.

Are we seeing a reaction to indyref2, or a return to the more traditional pattern of voters happy with the SNP in charge of the Scottish Parliament, but wanting another party in the UK Parliament?

Hard to tell.

 

[BossDarkseid]

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

You might need the NHS after all that

Good night everyone. Hopefully by the time I wake up the country has fully embraced our new socialist overlords.

>_>

<_<

 

[hohoXD123]

Also, it's surprising there have been no major Russian leaks during this election. Thought this was becoming a thing.

 

[affleck1981]

Do you think the Queen is watching this? What's she thinking right now?

 

[kirblar]

There's arguments to be made that a more competent leader would have won against May instead of merely forcing a hung parliament (assuming the exit polls are correct).

I think you can argue he depressed Labour's margins (I'd agree w/ that) but the idea that he prevented them from getting an outright majority is complete nonsense.

[excowboy]

John Curtice: "What we can definitely say is that Theresa May, or some other Conservative, will still be PM"

Ouch!

 

[PJV3]

So many marginals are 50-50's. Fuck it, I don't believe in it. The cunts will still be in power.

Yeah, it's going to be a close shave in too many places. I'm still cautious about the results, hopefully it goes labour's way more often than not.

 

[Coffinhal]

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

Especially if going all the way = doing ANY leftwing policies at all

The rewriting and movement of the political axis to the right by liberals and conservatives was really successful in painting run of the mill social democratic positions as somehow "radical" and "unelectable". See Bernie and Corbyn policies compared to for example FDR, who today would most likely be painted as some godless communist hellspawn.

True. It happens everywhere : France, Spain, Portugal

 

[cyberheater]

I hate this part

It's the best part.

 

[And_Gignac]

No. He will never be PM.

Still a small majority for Conservative. A slim possibility of a hung government but I think the exit polls are wrong.
Basically Conservatives in with a small majority.

Last time around the poll wasnt that far off from actual results.

 

[Twig and Berries]

Also, it's surprising there have been no major Russian leaks during this election. Thought this was becoming a thing.

It backfired horribly during the French election so maybe they're rethinking their strategy

 

[FuturusX]

Yeah, this one isn't as good for obvious reasons.

 

[slider]

So many marginals are 50-50's. Fuck it, I don't believe in it. The cunts will still be in power.

Yep. But if there's a chastisement of any sort... It's better than I'd dare hope for.

 

[Lucreto]

Well, I am buying Sterling tomorrow. It will be a temporary drop but I will take advantage.

 

[SporeCrawler]

short term currency loss better than the long term catastrophe of may crashing out with no deal while cutting immigration to tens of thousands.

now she has to negotiate with the most pro-european party or call another election from an extreme position of weakness.

lib dems are not going to go into coalition with the tories. a grand coalition is more likely than libdems giving up on their pro EU views and tories givign up on brexit

 

[Uzzy]

This DUP guy is barely suppressing his massive grin.

 

[Bronx-Man]

So it seems like no matter what, May's political career is over.


Congrats on that, guys! You have your fun while we'll be standing in the dumpster fire that is our current government.

 

[Mimosa97]

Also, it's surprising there have been no major Russian leaks during this election. Thought this was becoming a thing.

UK already out of the EU. They don't care anymore. Their job is done.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

I might have helped swing a constituency

Common Battersea

Hopefully I helped Croydon Central too

Luckily I'm working from home tomorrow so looks like I'm staying up for a while at least.

 

[itsbenoclock]

Real victory here is 0 UKIP

 

[Heartfyre]

It may not wind up as a hung parliament, but I don't see how May won't be finishing up with a smaller majority than she had before. That's still a big defeat.

And if it is a hung parliament...better sort it out fast -- you're supposed to be talking to Brussels by the end of the month.

What a day tomorrow will be.

 

[Breakage]

If Cons fail to reach the 326 majority what happens? Do they [Cons] get to pick who to form a coalition with or does it go to Labour and whoever they [Labour] decide to form a government with?

 

[kharma45]

This DUP guy is barely suppressing his massive grin.

That's because jeffrey is a massive cunt

 

[JonathanEx]

Well, I am buying Sterling tomorrow. It will be a temporary drop but I will take advantage.

Haha, I need Euros for a trip next week and I made sure me and my partner got them *before* the vote in case of this.

Phew!

 

[liquidtmd]

I looked at the daily mail site

my schadenfreude levels are dangerously high

It's fucking glorious.

I'd argue the entirely fucking venomous campaign by them and other papers (13 anti Corbyn articles yesterday) actually helped Labour

The UK are sometimes easily lead but many, many of us are good people.

Please let tonight shine some hope.

 

[OverBlood 3]

A humiliation for Theresa May is all I want.

 

[Matt_]

come on sunderland get your act together and give us some results

 

[norinrad]

Finally we have John Curtice!!

He's hilarious.

 

[Rktk]

BBC Holodeck

 

[weekev]

Exit poll right for Scotland, 22 Tory seat gains and exit poll wrong for the rUK and Conservatives come out way on top?

Twin peaks "Call for help".

Secret option 3 exit poll wrong for Scotland 0 Tory gains and right for rUK circa 30-40 Tory losses. Dare to dream.

 

[kmag]

Backwards bigot fundamentalist rednecks holding the balance of power.

 

[Morat]

Nicked to use as my FB picture.

Also, congrats if you guys end up with 14!

 

[Hasney]

Band at the bar that holds like 13 people finished (really good blues band tbh) and people yelled for an encore. Not sure if it was for the quality, but someone yelled "Do it for Jezza" and it happened. Everyone here is so goddamn happy, I hope it ladts5.

 

[31GhostsIV]

the power of the dinky deckers

On a day where I did my civic duty and voted in an election, it transpires that the biggest favour I did for my fellow citizens was introduce some of UK ElectionGAF to Dinky Deckers.

 

[Kiever Sher]

The BBC graphics are blowing my mind

 

[Monty Mole]

Amazing.

It does mean that I am, yet again, fucked on the exchange rate for summer. I went to Japan last year 2 weeks after brexit (lol), it's just gone back up to a respectable level and now it will plummet again a few weeks before I go back again.

Clownish

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Pound is going to drop like an absolute rock again tomorrow if there is any truth to this exit poll.

 

[anonymous_abc]

Real victory here is 0 UKIP

This is the least surprising part of the result so far.

 

[milanbaros]

Suspect the results won't be quite as good as the poll suggests.

 

[Daffy Duck]

No government is better than a bad government.

 

[tuxfool]

Real victory here is 0 UKIP

Eh, that was a given. All those fucks have been subsumed by the Tories.

 

[gngf123]

I will say, because there are so many 50/50 marginals, there is a decent margin for error in these exit polls. It could easily be a +-15 seat difference.

 

[Meadows]

If you think the tories are bad wait until they are beholden to the DUP
