Current Affairs 2017 General Election

not worth getting excited about yet, Tories could still get this,

An hour ago the markets were saying 350-400 seats was by far and away the most likely tory result. I stuck £20 on 300-349 for the Tories because the odds were clearly long. I'll get £85.

The markets also said Trump was 5/1 to win the presidency, the day before the election.

Nice.
I'm going to lose about £4k if there is a hung parliament. Markets now inching back to the Tory maj now though.. 63% chance

This is why the Tories shouldn't get too excited from the two results so far:

Another load of voters Labour should've aimed for. Aimless floaters.

But we'll see

Yeah ive always thought that, target those who dont have a solid loyalty to one party or another, IMO a lot of UKIP voters are like that, vote on single issues, easily led

If Corbyn was a man of principle and stuck to his lifelong anti EU stance a lot of those UKIP votes might have gone his way.

Sunderland and Newcastle exit polls wrong, expected a big swing to Labour, actually a swing to the scum.

getting bad vibes watching the BBC coverage, binning this off, its the hope that kills you.

We need a marginal, but that Sunderland one does not fit the exit poll.

No postal votes included in Exit poll interestingly. 17% of votes cast. And older people mainly.

Increased turnout (10% in Newcastle, 5% in Sunderland South) will be good news for Labour, but as you say the postal votes are going to complicate things (though even then, it all depends when they were cast).

Ooof Jack Straw there throwing the punches there

He democratically represents the party, not his own personal interests.

Hmm, yeah that's a worry

It's the Brexit vote ditching UKIP for the Tories... clowns.

I ditched UKIP for Labour
