To be so shocked at exit poll - conservative majority

[jellybean85]

I had a suspicion this might be the outcome but not with such a huge majority!!
Exit poll predicting 368 seats! I really thought it would be closer ...

[Mummyshark2019]

Very depressing. Yes Brexit will get done and the bumbling baffoon will get his way. We can only see how this will pan out.

[thetoddleratemyhomework]

And Jo Swinson has been totally abysmal too.

I’m starting to think I won’t ever see a Labour government in my lifetime.

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

See, people used to take the piss out of Ed Milliband. I'd rather him then bloody Corbyn and Boris running the country.

[MarianaMoatedGrange]

Watch the SPA rise to 70+

Terrible news. Shame on all Conservative voters. May you never sleep well again.

[NemophilistRebel]

Oh dear Kalinka

You've never seen a Labour government? How old are you?

[Toomuchtrouble4me]

Everyone wants Brexit at any cost apparently even live are acceptable

I don't agree. I wanted to remain but when it came to tonight it was Corbyn VS Johnson and I had to put Brexit to one side, I think a 2nd referendum was the right way to go but I couldn't vote for Corbyn because he's an extremist and frankly he scares me. Im really sad were leaving the EU but I had to vote for Bojo to keep JC out. Clearly I am not alone...

[thetoddleratemyhomework]

Btw, I spoiled my ballot in a Tory seat.

And may you sneeze every 30 seconds - forever,,,

[WatchingTheMoon]

kalinka do you honestly think your attitude is in any way helpful?

This divisive shit is why we end up in this situation again and again.

[rubywoowoo]

Great news!

[Piixxiiee]

I'm actually quite sad at what looks like the outcome. Honest they're noth as bad as each other but I voted for the party not the person. I think anyone working class needs to get ready as it's going to get tough... I'm working class.....

[WatchingTheMoon]

" frankly he scares me."

don't get this attitude tbh. What is it about him that scares you? I see this over and over again but no one ever explains what it is about him that is so terrifying.

[NemophilistRebel]

The fear of him ruining the country most probably

[steppemum]

I'm not remotely surprised. I have been predicting a conservative landslide. I am not a conservative voter but:

1.most remainers acknowledge that we have to follow democracy, so reluctantly think we have to get brexit done. This means tory remainers have not moved to another party.

1. for the same reason the lib dem vote will collapse and only seriously hard core remainers will stick with them
   

3.leavers from labour will have gone over to tory to get brexit done, because people want it done and over.
4.so many people do not want Corbyn. Large chunks of labour will not vote for Corbyn. he is too left wing for most.

1. Most people felt this was a 2 horse race, so green etc votes collapsed
   

so no surprise for me.

[NemophilistRebel]

The fear of him becoming even more communist and seeing something from the 1940’s Europe happening

[FeckArseMerlot]

No OP, YANBU

[malificent7]

I am not surprised sadly...and quite frankly we deserve it. Utterly disgraceful.

[NemophilistRebel]

Why be shocked? It was predicted

[FeckArseMerlot]

NemophilistRebel

Like racist nationalism?

[NemophilistRebel]

Yeah because that’s the alternative

[WatchingTheMoon]

"The fear of him becoming even more communist and seeing something from the 1940’s Europe happening"

This is all very vague and scare-mongery sounding though. I would prefer some actual details and insight instead of just buzz words.

[ilovebluecheese]

Why are people surprised?
