326 seats for a majority

An exit poll is a survey carried out after people have voted in an election. It aims to predict the result by asking people who they voted for. The exit poll is not held in Northern Ireland so the 18 seats there appear in “Others”.

The proportion of votes that are going to Reform is absolutely terrifying.

So far, in the results I've listened to spoilt ballots have been reported.

And strangely they all seemed to be about 100!

At the moment they are saying turnout was 54%, which isn't actually convincing in terms of the results represents the country convincingly.

On the unrepresentative results of 2 constituencies(!) Reform have got double the number of votes as the Tories.

Snap. I put a very sad cross for Labour and my previously very blue constituency is polling for Labour at the moment. I'm hoping the recent swing in public feeling / Cass / other tribunals and legal / insurance cases can do the work needed on gender reform - but the country is well and truly fucked so we need change.

I literally stood in the voting booth, wondering whether to spoil my vote, but in the end had to vote tactically against the Tories. I suspect I was not alone.
