UK General Election, 2017 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I can't tell if I feel happier for Corbyn supporters (seriously guys what a coup!) or sadder for May.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Damn, Conservatives are going to lose Canterbury for the first time since 1918!

wow so 2017 UK = 2016 USA

Seriously. You need to stop with the ing stupid bullsh**t

Well Tories are losing seats they have historically held while gaining in where they have historically done bad in .

[Sumner 1868]

Labour majority of 187 in Canterbury

LABOUR GAIN CANTERBURY

First time since 1918!

Ever, actually. The constituency was created in 1918 but in its previous boundaries was held by Tories since 1874.

[SunSt0rm]

LD gain Eastbourne from Con

[Paleobrazilian]

"A period of stability,"

She's ing staying on.

No chance of that happening. She'll be kicked out by her bench. They are mad about her. Osborne must be laughing so hard right now.

[The Free North]

Northern Ireland is going to dick this whole thing up for Labour with the Sinn Fein members not showing up and the DUP/UUP potentially working with the Tories.

[NOVA Green]

These swings in London are amazing.

More to come from there.... haven't had a chance to chat with my Sister whose been living in Finsbury for quite a few years, but the Lib Dem collapse throughout London will disproportionately benefit a Left-Wing Labour candidate among younger voters in the Inner Boroughs....

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Revised Exit Poll:

Conservative 318
Labour 267
SNP 32
LD 11
Plaid Cymru 3
Grn 1
Other 18

[Leftbehind]

Well, a sad day for NI politics--SDLP totally wiped out.  Not a single MP since...they first stood for seats, if I'm not mistaken?

More help to the Tories, and absurd to have no Nationalists represented in Westminster.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

FARRON REELECTED

In his district, a man(?) named "Mr Fishfinger" got about 0.6%

Farron only won by about 800 votes.

Such a hot take.

No, it is really going to be Scotland's fault.

[MT Treasurer]

PV count as of now:

LAB - 7,574,540 - 41.4%
CON - 7,384,066 - 40.4%

I can't tell if I feel happier for Corbyn supporters (seriously guys what a coup!) or sadder for May.

How the hell do you feel sad for May? She did this all to herself and is not at all likable because of her own doing.

I feel sad for anyone who finks up this badly. It's hard not too

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

Northern Ireland is going to dick this whole thing up for Labour with the Sinn Fein members not showing up and the DUP/UUP potentially working with the Tories.

Obviously the next government (in the immediate term) is going to be Tory, but there are legitimate questions about how stable it'll be.

[SunSt0rm]

LD also gains Kingston

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

We're now at:

Labour 173
Conservative 161
SNP 25
DUP 9
LD 6
SF 4
Plaid Cymru 3
IND 1

If conservatives are actually going to have a lead of 50ish, they need to take the lead soon.

She got greedy and moved in to kill the main opposition. No sympathy.

It will be STRONG AND STABLE. /s

Nuttal lol

[Paleobrazilian]

Take that with a grain of salt, but John McDonnell says Boris will formally launch his leadership bid as early as tonight.

[Technocracy Timmy]

Lol

[Kamala]

Hot take - DUP will end up with more seats than the Lib Dems.

[ApatheticAustrian]

lab crushing it in wales is the side-story of the night.
