UK General Election, 2017 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Leftbehind]

I think we can junk the exiit poll then...

lol it's been three results bud. 95% of all polls are junk to begin with.

Yes and none of them match it even in a close manner!

As said earlier, Labour are outperforming YG's model so far which has a hung parliament.

Nate Cohn: "The early U.K. results look nothing like the exit poll, but they do look quite a bit like YouGov, which also showed Labour doing well."

You have Peter Kellner at the BBC table and yet not one mention of that fact!

[Leftbehind]

Nuneaton was Labour target 54 and only a 0.2% swing.

The first I've seen where Cons substantially outperformed YG's model.

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.

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

Is the YouGov model really underestimating Labour?

Mixed picture. Swindon South they overestimated them, for instance.

After years of being a proud left-wing bastion, Scotland looks to have not only decimated the Labour party to snooker any chances for a Labour majority but is now handing the Tories theirs. F**K SAKE.

Tories gain Walsall north from Lab

West midland seat

Oh , I forgot how well nationalism plays in the Midlands.

[Leftbehind]

Tories barely hold Thurrock

[Leftbehind]

Haha jog on Clegg.

[Leftbehind]

1st Cons gain from Lab!! Copeland

No, they'd already gained Walsall North.

God the BBC performing lewd acts on Nick Clegg as he exits stage left is making me gag.

Every university student in the UK has been demonstrably hurt by his ambition and cowardice.

Give me a break with this. Tuition fees were tripled under Labour leadership. It's amazing how Clegg has to take sh*t for moderating the Cameron government when it could've been worse.

To campaign to remove a total tuition fee of £9K to instate a £9K a year (£27K total) - the highest public universite fees in the world? Won their seats off the back of the student vote? No amount of whataboutery excuses this.

Haha get f**ked Michael Foster.

Tories gain Dagenham from Lab

wtf

Tories gain Dagenham from Lab

False alarm, Jon Cruddas has held this.

Great news!

Exactly. I was f**king alarmed!

[Leftbehind]

Aw, f**k. The Tories have gained the ultra marginal Middlesbrough S & E Cleveland after all.

[Leftbehind]

Labour didnt lose Dagenham
sky news error

Nowhere near as well lol.

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.

[Leftbehind]

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

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

Any reason why BBC has such a LibDem boner?

Isn't the BBC pro remain?

BBC has a liberal bias. Liberalism is the centrist opinion in the UK, and that's the position it's occupied for decades.  

[Leftbehind]

Sorry to ask, but why are people so focused on Priti Patel of all people? You'd think there's at least a dozen more credible leadership contenders.

I'd assume more moderate and for a soft brexit.

Priti Patel, moderate?!

Tories gain mansfield from Labour

Wasn't expecting that.

Reports on the potential Tory landslide were held there. It's very Leave.

With the decline of SDLP, I wonder whether Labour will rethink on standing candidates in NI.

[Leftbehind]

Corbyn did better than Blair's last election.

Current predictions are that he's not far off Blair's 2001 result.

[Leftbehind]

Is Yvette Cooper a "right wing" Labourite?

Her campaign was very Hillary Clinton in the first leadership race.

[Leftbehind]

That Ashfield result was insanely close.

[Leftbehind]

turnout for 18-25 year olds was 72%
