Whoever said Labour would have walked it without Corbyn seems to have no understanding of what has been happening. He's responsible for the massive youth vote. Without him I would have voted differently. He's the reason it's as close as it is!

CaptainMarvelDanvers · 08/06/2017 23:37

I agree Cadibach - whether you liked him or not he gave a real alternative.

Properjob · 08/06/2017 23:40

Yep Corbyn and Labour ran a blinder. #mustnoteatgelnails argh... the tension

CaptainMarvelDanvers · 08/06/2017 23:47

UKIP voters have moved to Conservatives....

gunting · 08/06/2017 23:48

The swings to Tory aren't boding well for marginals

QuiteUnfitBit · 08/06/2017 23:50

Without him I would have voted differently.
Who would you have voted for??? Surely, with a more-moderate leader, you would still have voted Labour? And so would the more centre-ground voters, leading to a Labour landslide.

I know so many people of my age who are left wing, but couldn't vote Labour, because of Corbyn.

Dandandandandandandan · 08/06/2017 23:50

argh why can't we vote overnight and then watch the results during the day?! Don't want to go to bed; have a toddler who will be up at 6 and I leave for work at 7...

HS2whattodo · 08/06/2017 23:52

The Tory results in both Sunderland areas point to the doing well in tight marginals.

chinlop · 08/06/2017 23:52

I voted labour only because of Corbyn.

QuiteUnfitBit · 08/06/2017 23:53

How about Ruth Davidson for TM's replacement Grin

angelcakerocks · 08/06/2017 23:53

cardibach my understanding that Labour could have easily won without Corbyn is based on what I've heard from many people like me who would've voted Labour but for Corbyn. I don't credit Labour's success to Corbyn, more to a dreadful campaign from the Tories. For some reason Jezza seems to have a cult like status among those who do like him though.

CaptainMarvelDanvers · 08/06/2017 23:53

Quiteunfitbit - I would have voted Greens if the Labour leader was too much of a Blairite. I would have voted for Burnham because I think he comes across as a genuine guy who often has the people at the forefront of his mind. Burnham listens.

metspengler · 08/06/2017 23:57

Exit polls can be inaccurate.

For all we know at this point we could see Labour trying to form a minority government and pilot the country to ruin as in the 70s, or the conservative's could get a bigger majority and we could be spared the devastating effects a hung parliament will have at this point.

AngeloMysterioso · 08/06/2017 23:58

Tories keep Swindon North but huge swing for Labour!

cardibach · 08/06/2017 23:59

angel my experience is different. Many people voting because of Corbyn.
Whoever asked who would I have voted for - Lib Dem as a tactical vote. I decided to vote with my heart in a fairly solid Lib Dem seat which seems to be pretty close in the actual event.

PumpkinPiloter · 09/06/2017 00:00

*I was asked on my way out. I lied. Ours will definitely be wrong by a margin of at least one.

I don't agree with exit polls. I think they're bloody stupid.*

Someone asked me if I liked oranges. I lied I don't agree with fruits I think they're bloody stupid.

QuiteUnfitBit · 09/06/2017 00:00

I don't credit Labour's success to Corbyn, more to a dreadful campaign from the Tories. I agree! And with that, I'm off to bed! Grin

metspengler · 09/06/2017 00:01

Looks like kippers mostly went to Labour in swindon north. I think we might see that a lot. Police state stuff and the stealing of legacies might not sit well with UKIP as they have a lot of libertarian/liberal voters, and more than a few older voters.

Oysterbabe · 09/06/2017 00:01

Oooo its got interesting with Swindon and Newcastle North result.

Lampie · 09/06/2017 00:04

Really happy to see the swing to Labour in Swindon north. There was a lot of labour presence in the town from Labour over the past few weeks. Hopefully the 11% swing in the north will be replicated in Swindon South and they take it.

BlondeB83 · 09/06/2017 00:09

Exciting! Teresa May has made a massive fuck up calling this election! She's going to end up with less of a majority than she had. What a twat!

Dandandandandandandan · 09/06/2017 00:09

Dear god, shut up Thornberry. DP snoring on the sofa is making more sense!!

angelcakerocks · 09/06/2017 00:11

I'm a labour voter normally but voted Libdem cardibach so we are opposites Grin I'm not extreme left wing though and agree with you that age might be a factor. I'd attribute that to those who remember the 'bad old days' of labour tbh, one of the reasons I dislike JC.
