Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[ToffeeTim]

The Tory vote went back to what it was in 2010 but Labour has increased by 5 000 between 2010 and now. Very promising for Labour - getting out some of the no voters will hold them in good stead in marginals.

I'm still definitely of the opinion that's it's more likely that the exit poll is right. But that Sunderland one was 8 points off the exit poll forecast, and actually didn't even get the swing in the right direction.

As I've said we need a marginal, and a non london one probably, I'm thinking Nuneaton should be due soon.

Too early to get excited. Going to be a long night this.

Sadly I can't see Lib Dems joining a coalition after getting fingers burnt last time so god knows what happens then if exit poll is right.

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

How many Labour seats voted leave? How many votes lost tonight because of it?

That bottom end of the 50-74 bracket isn't impossible you know after those North Eastern meffs

It was limbs everywhere just after 10 but those first two results, that lad on the desk saying could still be 80-100.

A fair few people now seem to be dissing the exit polls.

If you're right May lives on, pfft....

Too early, the country is so split it hard to judge.

She will be given the opportunity to form a government (if she doesn't resign first). That will fail. Corbyn will then be asked, and that will fail too.

Then we have another election.

I suspect more Ukips will go Tory mate, sadly.

A big matter that I get the impression of is an increase in working class votes jumping from UKIP to Tory solely down to Brexit.
