UK General Election, June 8th 2017

[Kamala]

So is Queen of Plymouth just a bot that posts Tory propaganda or what

I'm guessing it to balance out Shadows' labour propaganda.

[Krago]

Labour, SNP, LibDem, PC and Greens with exactly 326 seats.

I'm expecting a Labour-Sinn Fein coalition government.

Had almost forgotten that SF are Corbyn's "friends" too. I could easily see them take their seats to prop up a Corbyn government.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

No, they're friends without the need for any "" marks.

Anyway, that would be amusing, but it would also mean breaching a very longstanding (and to them very important) point of principle.

Is there no early voting to track in uk elections like in US elections?

Jeremy Corbyn calls for Theresa May to resign as Prime Minister for presiding over police cuts while Home Secretary

Theresa May's police cuts have returned to haunt her


On 20 May 2015, as Police Federation members warned Theresa May of the effects of cuts, the future PM defiantly told the body to stop "scaremongering" and "crying wolf". After the UK's third terrorist attack in three months, May's words are under greater scrutiny than ever before. Peter Kirkham, a former Met chief inspector, warned that the service was in "crisis" and accused May of being "criminally negligent with the safety of the public".

There is early voting but it is not possible to track. Electoral returns are only opened on the night of the election and even then the final results are only announced once the tally is completed.

That's a big leap!

[Silent Hunter]

Well, if we hear the words "Recount in Houghton and Sunderland South", it will be a very bad night for Labour.

[Tintrlvr]

I for one am fully expecting a Sinn Fein majority government.

[GlobeSoc]

I for one am fully expecting a Sinn Fein majority government.

Snp 326

Snp 326

Hypothetically speaking, of course, what non-Scotland seat would the SNP have a(ny) chance of winning?

Corby is the usual suggestion.

I don't understand why labour HQ keep letting her go on air...

This is a fake letter being sent around East Dunbartonshire by the Lib dems..

Is it fake? Smithson is known to be a Lib Dem (at least among the people who know who he is) and does tend to talk up the Lib Dems' chances a bit sometimes, so I wouldn't be shocked if he specifically endorsed some candidates.

[DavidB.]

It's not "fake", but it's pretty misleading since it's not clear from the letter that this guy is actually a Liberal Democrat.

Apparently the latest Survation poll done by phone says Tories 41%, Labour 40% - fielded June 2-3

That one released on June 3rd was online. This one is a phone poll

Who will look more foolish on election day - the Corbynistas or the Very Serious People who a month or two ago were predicting the worst result in history?

[ApatheticAustrian]

Who will look more foolish on election day - the Corbynistas or the Very Serious People who a month or two ago were predicting the worst result in history?

could still happen, if the more pessimistic pollsters got it right and the votes are spread in a bad way.

[ApatheticAustrian]

anyone thinks this is going to move ANY votes at all?

Some? I realize as an American we often wrongly inflate our importance in other countries choosing a government, but Trump is widely disliked over there, arguably including among swing voters.

I don't think many persuadable voters will disagree with Khan, it's just they aren't likely to care enough to abandon the Tories.

Maybe they'll go UKIP?
