LABOUR HOLD DARLINGTON

And South Shields

[Kringla Heimsins]

The YouGov projection seems to be fairly accurate so far: https://twitter.com/MC_of_A/status/872949123892334592

[Kamala]

.5% swing in South Shields from CON to LAB

[jeron]

George Osborne has apparently confirmed that the Conservatives have lost Croydon and Battersea.

[136or142]

Any chance of a Grand Coalition like in Germany?

I think I asked this same question in 2015 when the exit polls showed a minority government with the large loss of seats for the Liberal Democrats.

I have trouble imagining Corbyn and May in the same governement. Grand Coalitions are a uniquely german/nordic things, I think.

Sporting Index markets now pretty close to exit polls

CON    318
LAB     258
SNP      35
LIB       14

[NOVA Green]

Slow election reporting is the worst

UK Elections are always like this... imagine if US elections were held Congressional District by CD.

Don't be daft. Any chance of the Republicans and Democrats having a Grand Coalition?

What? Except for Finland, Grand coalitions are extremely rare in the Nordic countries.

I'll add that the YouGov projection predicts a hung parliament. https://yougov.co.uk/uk-general-election-2017/

so apparantly Clegg is a probable loser. Pretty hillarious if so, the local party only considered him a likely target about a fortnight ago.

Sort of off-topic, but does anyone know what a small but significant Parliamentary party's operation/budget look like? I'd imagine they wouldn't have great access to data modeling &c &c.

[Kamala]

Off topic, but I really like how each constituency has its own name - wish we had that in the US. I think I read somewhere that such specific locale-naming of electoral districts could help reduce gerrymandering slightly.

My bad, I thought so.
I just checked and realized that Norway's current coalition is in fact a (classical) liberal/conservative coalition, not a broader coalition like I thought.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Tories gain Richmond park

Was Goldsmith the candidate there again?

[Baki]

Labour gain Vale of clwyd

The exit poll had the Torys winning it.

The NYTimes results map is great, but it would be perfect if they showed the vote totals as well.
