[jaichind]

Sporting Index markets moves more toward LAB although and SNP dropping

CON    323
LAB     253
SNP      35
LIB       13.5

[Suburbia]

Boris is already preparing his leadership campaign according to sources.

Gove and Leadsom should consider, Patel as well.

[Gass3268]

BBC just said that Labour won Battersea

[DavidB.]

Nuneaton is calming me down...

Exactly. Thought it was done after Swindon N

[JustinTimeCuber]

Slow election reporting is the worst

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Labour - 7
Conservative - 4
Others - 0

[OSR stands with Israel]

This election is an utter disaster and now the west will have zero good leaders left .


USA , Canada, UK(If exit poll is right) , Germany leaders are going to be nothing but a nightmare for the world.


Man Imagine the Leaders in the World were

USA: John Kasich
UK: David Cameron
Canada: Stephen Harper
France: Francois Fillion

Seems too good to be true

my list of leaders or the exit poll or even both

Leaders

In the 1980s we had


USA: Ronald Reagan
UK: Margaret Thatcher
Canada: Brian Mulroney
Germany: Helmut Kohl



That may have been the dream team though

[The Other Castro]

So has YouGov been vindicated?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Slow election reporting is the worst

That seems to be fairly common among British elections. I remember 2010 taking all night, same with 2015. Of course Brexit too.

[Tintrlvr]

Given these swings then where are the LIB  going to gain seats to get up to double digits ?

Scotland (Edinburgh West, East Dunbartonshire), Kingston and Surbiton, Bath

How about Cambridge? Or is that looking safer for Labour now?

Given what's happened in other student-heavy seats, I would guess Labour hold in Cambridge.

Also Twickenham not mentioned in that list but probably the most likely Lib Dem gain.

Rumors that Caithness could go back to the Lib Dems, too.

[RI]

The swing seems like a micro-version of the US's swing last year.

[CMB222]

CON hold in Basildon

I think FDR, Churchill, De Gaulle, and Curtin were pretty good too!

[MT Treasurer]

Labour - 7
Conservative - 4
Others - 0

PV (although meaningless):

LAB  51.0%
CON 39.8%
UKIP  3.8%
LD     3.5%
GRN  1.6%

Also, 1.4% swing from LAB to CON in Middlesbrough

[Klartext89]

Not winning Workington was it imo. Hung parliament. Would be excited with 320 Seats now. Going to bed.

[The Other Castro]

Current PredictIt odds for next PM:

May - 60%
Corbyn - 19%
Johnson - 11%

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I can't wait for the marginals to start pouring in.

[DavidB.]

Can we stop the beep boop sh**t about good leaders in the 1830s

[jaichind]

It seems CON+LAB vote share will exceed 1979 levels

[Paleobrazilian]

Boris is already preparing his leadership campaign according to sources.

Gove and Leadsom should consider, Patel as well.

Osborne must be kicking himself right now.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about Vince Cable.

 I'd be surprised if LibDem takes Cambridge from Lab.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Tight fights in Shipley and Putney - Britain Elects.

[Suburbia]

Should there be another snap election like October 1974, in October or November?

[The Other Castro]

I think I just heard that Labour believes they have won Colne Valley, according to BBC

[Kamala]

I think I just heard that Labour believes they have won Colne Valley, according to BBC

That would be nearly a 5% swing, no?
