UK General Election 2019 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Clyde1998]

The Conservatives have crossed the official threshold for a majority.

[The Free North]

Luciana Berger comes up short in Finchley and Golders Green

[Lumine]

Dennis Skinner loses in Bolsover.

[Matty]

The beast of bolsover lost his seat

[MT Treasurer]

BBC officially projects majority for CON

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

Luciana Berger comes up short in Finchley and Golders Green

Dennis Skinner loses in Bolsover.

Oh, of course they did. RIP, FFs.

[Oryxslayer]

Not-SNP currently have 9 seats in Scotland, so if they get one more nobody has to swim in Loch Ness.

[Simfan34]

Cons gain Kensington.

Hurrah! Pour one out for Sam, a real one who went over to the wrong side.

[Sestak]

Lab Hold Sheffield Hallam.

[The Free North]

Recent elections really beg the question: Can Labour win any sort of majority without significant support from Scotland?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Lab Hold Sheffield Hallam.

WTF

[afleitch]

Hello from Florida.

SNP result not that much of a shock to me based on ground reports. Good to see Tories culled back and Labour gutted.

[politicallefty]

SNP gains Gordon from Con.

[Lumine]

A terrible night for all defectors, many of which got rather humiliating results. Grieve and particularly Gauke did manage some strong showings, but were still very much behind the official Conservative candidate.

The Change UK results were (shocker!) a total embarrassment. Still, bad as it was they're managing about half the votes rump UKIP currently has, and they actually stood more than 40 candidates.

[Simfan34]

Pour one out for Kirstene Hair Luke Graham Stephen Kerr whoever was running in Ayr, Carrick, and Cumnock, Colin Clark, the Union, and Ruth Davidson's goosebumps, RIP a real one

[Sestak]

Labour crosses the 200 mark.

No. And you know how they can get it? Become pro-indy. Piss easy. So of course they won't.

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

Labor crosses the 200 mark.

Dayenu.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Moral of tonight: everything sucks, liberal values are dead, people who stand up for what's right get punished, and nationalists (somehow) still think their ideas are good. Britain is about to get ed, and it absolutely deserves it.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Well, at least Labour isn't under 200 like the exit poll showed.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What is very, very striking to me... an unavoidable observation... is that Labour's only good results, I think almost without exception, have come in heavily pro-Remain places where it was clear to the electorate that it was the correct Remain Alliance Tactical Option. In other words, those better performances and even the one gain are not really owned by the party; the energy responsible belongs to other forces. Elsewhere the results are uniformly poor to dire, and usually at the bad end of that.

[The Free North]

Should be noted that while the SNP are nominally 'nationalists' they're ideologically internationalists. A winning side who hasn't fully embraced Trump's world.

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

Lib Dems hold Caithness, Sutherland, and Easter Ross. Davidson doesn't have to swim Loch Ness, or at the very least she gets to do so in her bathing suit.

[Simfan34]

Lib Dems will almost certainly keep Orkney and Shetland, and Argyll & Bute and Ross & Skye will stay with the SNP, meaning that the separatists will be "confined" to 48 seats. It's not 0, but it's better than 50, never mind 55.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Votes/constituency right now:
Green: 829,049
Lib Dem: 379,089
Labour: 49,542
Conservative: 38,295
SNP: 25,961

This is some f**ked up vote efficiency.
