Current Affairs 2017 General Election

The unionist vote is way up here. SF not close to first place to be honest.

Those unionist votes won mean much without a Tory government that needs them though.

... just keeping you sharp.

Thanks frandel, am flagging here now

Tory Minority a fav now because of Scotland

She is there but watching the Exchange, it's closing again.

Stinks of people who dived on her when Corbyn initially went outs on and she drifted out to half decent odds.

This looks like a right messy hung parliament tbh

May won't see July.

May won't see July.

Will resign tomorrow or be shoved by end of next week, the marginals failure alone makes her extremely toxic

Nothing has changed!

NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

Not seen much from the Midlands so far. Tories were tipped to do well there, particularly Birmingham and West Midlands. Anyone heard how this is actually going?

No mate want to see a few of them myself got a feeling as I said hours ago that's when we will get a clear idea of how it's going to end up

Dunno if anyone saw that Exit poll vs result graphic.
Still faint hope for a wafer Tory majority, as they seem to be beating the exit poll by 1 or maybe even 2%

The Tories are doing apallingly in the South but are absolutely white hot in Scotland. Strange times we live in.

White hot? I take it they have won every seat so far in Scotland. Clutching at straws me think to pretend the Tories are doing well.

They can't. It is not allowed under the Good Friday Agreement they would have to go to parliament and rewrite it and then put it to the vote in parliament. Unlikely to get through. That is why May and the Tories would not talk about Brexit. After Brexit, any EU citizen can travel to the Republic and get on a train and go to Belfast were they would been held until they could get deported. The Island of Ireland is the Tories achilles heel.

Soundings the Irish government have had is the EU won't allow a soft border, hopefully it won't come to that.

[evilwebby]

Cheers. Guess I'll have to stay up a bit longer. Thought I'd be heading to bed depressed by mid-night!!!

Very odd
