Probably
Not looking forward to seeing Boris's ugly mug in the morning.

stoplickingthetelly · 12/12/2019 22:06

I feel sick. Devastated. Can’t believe people believe Boris the liar.

littlealexhorne · 12/12/2019 22:07

I really, really hope this one isn't. I'm terrified now.

OccasionallyIncomplet · 12/12/2019 22:07

Yes - they are very accurate.

FourCandlesForkHandles · 12/12/2019 22:07

I don't normally swear but ..

Shit shit shit shit shit. Shit Sad

Tessaraqt · 12/12/2019 22:07

Fuck. That's so so depressing. It just feels a bit like no-one cares anymore about being a voice for those that don't have one. Everyone is only out for themselves. I thought people were intrinsically good, and this feels like a punch in the gut.

notmuchtooffer · 12/12/2019 22:07

Meant to say I also feel sick.

Apparently it’s never been more than twenty seats out before. Biggest labour defeat in modern history according to BBC.

Bluntness100 · 12/12/2019 22:07

Surely labour haven't lost 71 seats...?

It's not absolute. They could have lost more, or lost less, there is a margin of error, it's not an exact science, but it's usually fairly accurate within a few seats,

Vinorosso74 · 12/12/2019 22:08

I am hoping this one is very wrong. Too depressing if it is correct

Samcro · 12/12/2019 22:08

Can anyone please explain exit polls to me
I hope to fuck they are wrong. God help us.

Tolleshunt · 12/12/2019 22:08

Christ alive. I was hoping for a hung parliament.

If the Tories manage to win a fucking majority with that offering, it will put the final nail in the coffin of any shred of belief I had left that my fellow citizens possess any decency or intellect.

RingtheBells · 12/12/2019 22:08

Hope so

Halleli · 12/12/2019 22:08

I do hope so.

Daisychainsandglitter · 12/12/2019 22:09

I'm horrified by what I'm watching

Samcro · 12/12/2019 22:09

Don't worry I googled

NickelADimeCandy · 12/12/2019 22:09

I hope the SNP prediction is wildly overstated. I'm happy to see Labour get a good kicking. It will maybe make them see sense and ditch Corbyn.

SillyUnMurphy · 12/12/2019 22:09

Pretty much. Certainly in the last four GEs

notmuchtooffer · 12/12/2019 22:09

And now they are interviewing Priti Patel talking about getting Brexit done ☹️.

RancidOldHag · 12/12/2019 22:09

In recent years they've not been out by more than about 15 seats.

But yes, they can be wrong.

SquashedFlyBiscuit · 12/12/2019 22:09

Another one horrified. How are people so uncaring.

Bourbonbiccy · 12/12/2019 22:09

Yeah, they are usually a good indicator.

Fucking hell. But if MN is anything to go by I'm not surprised. Turkeys voting for Xmas.

theduchessstill · 12/12/2019 22:10

Awful. awful. Hopeless feeling. I can't believe people have voted for this.
