My goal was if the Tories lost one seat I would celebrate. I'm far too drunk tonight ahahaha

 

[H1PSTER]

Can I have a link to the YouGov poll?

 

[Carl]

..

JOHN SWEENEY

Of course, how could i not know that...

 

[Acorn]

Who would his replacement be?

Huw.

Who has been threatening to leave if he isn't made main anchor for elections etc.

YouGov had Nuneaton at:

Tory: 46%
Labour: 42%

I meant re: the Labour vote. Con vote is a bit more erratic - how UKIP is splitting has been pretty random so far.

Newcastle East 	               26 	24

Looking pretty good for Labour. Haven't underperformed a yougov projection once yet.

Heard from very good source who was there that Rupert Murdoch stormed out of The Times Election Party after seeing the Exit Poll 😂 #Vote2017

Artists impression:

 

[Par Score]

Ah, Labour lost Nuneaton. Not great.

EDIT: But outperformed YouGov marginally again. YouGov still had it within their margin of error, absolutely destroying this election so far. I;m proud to have worked for them!

Nah, Nuneaton result not great compared to YouGov (Tories +5 Lab -1) or Exit Poll. Just like 2015, Nuneaton crushes my dreams.

Calling it as a slim Con majority in the end, and heading to bed. Chin up comrades.

That's ridiculously accurate and very promising. Especially since they have been slightly underselling Labour which means they could pick up more marginals. Seriously optimistic Tories won't get to 300.

Got it got it. Still good for Labour.

Dimbleby son.

Dimblebot may be gone by the next election if Huw gets his way.

Where is Huw tonight?

OT2 time, baybeee

Rupert Murdoch storming out of a party over this cannot be topped

Whaaaa???

If this is a real thing that happened please link... this evening keeps on giving...

I hope this is true.

 

[Oriel]

Maybe to represent their constituents in the parliament they were elected to?

They were elected by voters precisely to abstain from sitting at Westminster.

Friendship ended with OT1

OT2 is my new best friend.

I just thought of John Redwood because you brought up that tosser, is he crying yet?

 

[Mr Git]

Yeeeesssss

 

[Baleoce]

There was no exit poll for the referendum.

I think I must be going senile.. Either that or I have no concept of time..

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Got it got it. Still good for Labour.

Yeah, if this looks more like YouGov than the exit poll, then there's a reasonable chance even Con + DUP + UUP isn't enough. I can only pray.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Where is Huw tonight?

Still here, but I will need to get some sleep.

My thought is that this will turn out to be a relatively bad night for my lot in England.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Guys, do you want me to post the OT2 up?

Y2Kev, if I do so, and post the link here, can you lock this sucka up?

Ok.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I don't know if I'm misreading things, but the Tories get less seats in the YouGov poll than in the Exit Poll, despite getting a higher share of the vote?

 

[woodland]

Can anyone explaining how it's going for me? Friend linked me to results but didn't say it wasn't over. Is it hung? What's the best to expect?

[operon]

Why would SF suddenly upend over a century of Irish abstentionism to suit the interests of an English political party? I, like most Irishmen, support SF's policy of abstention. It's how Ireland got its first Parliament when the majority of elected Irish MP's to the Commons set up an Irish Parliament (Dail Eireann) after the 1918.

This sinn fein policy is not at all like Arthur Griffiths policy. If they are smart and could help labour they should

 

[| Praxis |]

Didn't think Murdoch had it in him to storm out of anything anymore, except maybe life.

 

[Empty]

oh no. yougov has started to become wrong in nuneaton.

 

[Wes]

Thank you! Is this being kept up to date somewhere or are you doing it yourself?

Someone sent me that, originally from Reddit I believe.

Reminder the model can be found here: https://yougov.co.uk/uk-general-election-2017/

We only have polls and early results right now. We won't have a good idea how it is really going for another 3-5 hours.

It is looking like a hung government, but it could still be a small Conservative Majority.

 

[itsbenoclock]

Guys I'm trying to sleep here can we stop with the excitement and unbearable anxiety. This hung parliament thing is too much for my heart

 

[mo60]

Expect a result somewhere between 300 and 330 seats.

If it gained SF a border poll?

Correct. YouGov thinks Labour are overperforming in the marginals - the suburban vote (this isn't the same vote as suburban America, before kirblar comments - UK cities radiate outwards, American cities are economic donuts).

 

[mclem]

Liam Fox just described calling the election as "A brave decision". In the Yes, Minister sense?

He takes over at 6. That's been the schedule for last 1 and the eu ref iirc.

Hmm

BBC were saying there was no Labour comeback in Scotland and that the SNP losses would go Lib Dem and Conservative. This would be against that wouldn't it?
