UK General Election, 2017 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Silent Hunter]

Hilary Benn pointing out that Labour hasn't actually won this election and this will be their third loss in a row.

[MAINEiac4434]

Tories just took the leads on seats according to Sky.

[MAINEiac4434]

NI looks like it will end with 10 DUP, 7 SF and the one Independent. She's a unionist IIRC, but would she prop up a Con government ?

Sylvia Hermon normally votes with Labour.

[Silent Hunter]

Tories pull ahead!

222 Cons
220 Lab
  10 LibDem
  29 SNP

Also have now taken over in popular vote.

[Mr. Morden]

From Patrick Ruffini's Twitter....biggest swings against Conservatives came from high income constituencies:

[MT Treasurer]

LAB 9,974,547 - 41.1%    
CON 9,977,234 - 41.1%

National swing so far: 3.5% from CON to LAB

[Zanas]

Lab and Con now tied in the popular vote.

[Kamala]

In other news, the Yorkshire Party is not doing any worse than they did in 2015.

[MT Treasurer]

LAB and CON now tied in number of seats (220) according to BBC

[Helsinkian]

The last NI seat went to Sinn Fein.

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

Now at:

Conservative 223
Labour 221
SNP 31
LD 10
DUP 10
SF 7
Plaid Cymru 3
IND 1

LAB and CON now tied in number of seats (220) according to BBC

This was a really poor gamble by May. She's not saying on as leader.

[Sumner 1868]

That's a grim sign for the future.

This was a really poor gamble by May. She's not saying on as leader.

Whether it's her or Boris at the helm, it looks like a Conservative + DUP coalition is going to happen now.

[The Free North]

Conservative gain in Mansfield.

[Zanas]

That's it all of NI is called with SF gaining Fermanagh & South Tyrone from UUP. UUP wiped out, SDLP wiped out.

[Gass3268]

Conservative gain in Mansfield.

That's been with Labor since 1923.

[Lachi]

Tories gain mansfield from Labour

Wasn't expecting that.

[Nyvin]

That's it all of NI is called with SF gaining Fermanagh & South Tyrone from UUP. UUP wiped out, SDLP wiped out.

Kind of goes hand in hand with other "middle" parties getting wiped out everywhere (around the world....).

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The Green Party candidate in Cheltenham is a dead ringer for my best friend. Looks just like him, but shorter.

[Kamala]

With 7 seats for Sinn Fein, a majority is 322. That means the magic number for Conservatives is 312, with which they can form a government with the DUP.

[MAINEiac4434]

For the first time since 1970 no SDLP MPs were elected. They did not exist in 1970.

For the first time since 2010, no UUP MPs were returned. Robin Swann just became UUP leader a few months ago after their poor result in the Northern Ireland elections, and he may have to leave already.

[Kamala]

Recount in Richmond Park.

This was a really poor gamble by May. She's not saying on as leader.

Whether it's her or Boris at the helm, it looks like a Conservative + DUP coalition is going to happen now.

Probably a "joint venture", not a true coalition.

I'm going to bed, hopefully May will have resigned when I wake up. My God, she looked like Dilma Rousseff when she was speaking earlier. Yikes.

What kind of compromises will DUP demand?
