General Election Polling - completely off

[Rusty101]

Just been looking at the polling for mine and 2 neighbouring seats and I really do think it is way off the mark. I know the demographic pretty well and the prediction of Labour wiping out these conservative seats doesn’t really seem likely. It’s the shy Tory syndrome where people don’t want to admit that they will be voting for them. Anyone else feel the same when looking at the polling in their area?

Good fucking riddance.

I would put them in the same daft bucket as those rejoicing at the exit poll because they were worried reform were going to win 😂.

84% conservative hold here, i think labour will do very well compared to normal. But not enough to flip it

WMD and Iraq war were all overseas- out of sight out of mind.

Partygate was on home soil.

Not saying one was less terrible than the other, just that the collective thoughts of the masses are more influenced by home affairs.

I'm watching Sky News and I swear they're all on the sherry!

Exit poll showing both my constituency and the one next to us flipped us from Tory to labour , next door from Tory to plaid

Polls are anonymous though so people have no need to be ‘shy’ about saying who they’ll vote for.
I was going to vote one way though (tactically) then when stood in the cubicle I just couldn’t in good conscience vote for the party when I absolutely hate everything about the current leader!

A hung parliament is looking exceptionally unlikely after the exit poll.

Not completely off then!

Farage's speech was chilling with his prediction of what he reckons is to come from them.

We should all fear the rise of this deeply unpleasant man and his followers.

Are you finding it amusing?

watching live, waiting for Truss (Kings Lynn)

Pretty chuffed with that result, we got the first ever Labour MP on the Isle of Wight. Great chap, he'll do very well for us.

Interesting that she is 'nowhere to be seen'@BezMills

yeah it won't surprise me if she's off in a cream puff

her colleague on BBC dropping massive truth bombs and sick burns on Truss.

Slow hand claps at the count, for Truss the Truant

Truss on stage.

Truss has lost

11847 labour, 9958 reform, 3618 liberal, 11217 truss

LABOUR

26000 majority kaboomed

To Labour

that was close, 600 votes in it

Truss leaving without a speech (salty salty)

Very close, shows the importance of voting.

East Anglia is looking pretty multi-coloured to me.

Our excellent Green candidate in Isle of Wight East, Vix Lowthion, didn't get elected. I dared to hope that we would be an island with zero Tory MPs, but sadly not.
