UK General Election, 2017 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Bakersfield Uber Alles]

Lib Dems gain East Dunbartonshire from SNP

[ApatheticAustrian]

well, for now tories fill their gaps in scotland.

[NeederNodder]

Should CON gains in SNP be troubling?

[BlueDogDemocrat]

Lib Dems gain East Dunbartonshire from SNP

Its about time

[Helsinkian]

Wow, it seems that Ruth Davidson will really save the day for the Conservatives. There will be huge pressure on her to move to Westminster as soon as a safe Conservative seat opens up.

So she'll move to England to be elected to Westminster?

Any outside shot at her becoming Tory leader? I wouldn't mind that.

[Lachi]

Increase in CON projection - is it due to SNP weaker than expected?

That, but they have also lowered prediction for every other party as well.

[jaichind]

Again, LIB vote in Scotland is nowhere.  I do not see how they gain seats in Scotland at a level anywhere to get LIB to 13-14 seats

[MT Treasurer]

Ugly results for Labour in Scotland. May be what saves the Conservatives in the end.

[Zanas]

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see the SNP below 30 seats !

I wouldn't rule out this possibility.

Great Grimsby: LABOUR HOLD

Big Underperformers Tonight:

1. Conservatives
1.1 SNP

[Lachi]

Tories gain Ochil and south Perthshire from SNP

Oh god no...

[Kamala]

CON barely holds Vale of Glamorgan. ~4.6% swing from CON to LAB.

[henster]

Sturgeon may have saved CONS tonight with her stupid Scottish independence re vote gamble.

[BudgieForce]

I guess this means no second independence referendum?

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

Angus Robertson losing might be the best result of this evening. He was a bloody annoying MP.

[TheSaint250]

I guess this means no second independence referendum?

I'd say the ONLY way it happens is if Labour creates a minority govt with it and promises a second referendum

but that's far-fetched, so no

[The Free North]

Big Underperformers Tonight:

1. Conservatives
1.1 SNP

SNP didnt really underperform. Sturgeon has run into difficulties rallying support for another referendum and the party was expected to lose seats.

[Kamala]

I doubt CON gains in Scotland are secure - we'll have to see next election, whether it's this autumn or in 5 years.

Big Underperformers Tonight:

1. Conservatives
1.1 SNP

SNP didnt really underperform. Sturgeon has run into difficulties rallying support for another referendum and the party was expected to lose seats.

Oh. Never mind then.  I personally didn't think they would lose that much.

[Paleobrazilian]

Sturgeon may have saved CONS tonight with her stupid Scottish independence re vote gamble.

Well she took a stupid gamble she'll probably regret (just like May) but give credit to Ruth Davidson for running a faultless campaign.

[CMB222]

BBC updates exit poll to 322 for CON

[The Free North]

In what has to be one of the stranger turns of fortunes...it appears the Conservatives might squeak by thanks to their support in Scotland in order to compensate for their losses in England.
