I was thinking about how I could sum up the general election campaign and well. This said it all.

Hmmm... even if it's not true it's worth it to know how much TM must be shitting herself right now.

Safe place, safe place

I nearly threw up with excitement when I saw the exit poll. Hope it's right.

RedToothBrush · 08/06/2017 22:06

The poll PROBABLY favours the Tories. The Exit poll last time underestimated by 20.

But that would still mark a political defeat for May effectively.

Exit poll has been 20 seats out before.
Still would be hung

May is TOAST

CaptainBrickbeard · 08/06/2017 22:07

So - what the hell happens if that result is right?

BiglyBadgers · 08/06/2017 22:08

Even if these are off, they are not going to be off enough to save May's bacon. They may just scrape a majority, but this is a disaster for the conservatives. Shock

I'll take that Grin

RedToothBrush · 08/06/2017 22:08

Guess what?

We probably will end up with another election in a couple of years.

Strong and Stable.

LibDems 14 up 6, good result if correct

HashiAsLarry · 08/06/2017 22:08

Jesus. Did yougov nail it? I never expected the exit polls to be that close

PattyPenguin · 08/06/2017 22:09

The Beeb's live feed has just gone pear-shaped. A post time 18.59 claims "polling stations open in general election".

RedToothBrush · 08/06/2017 22:10

Less 1983. More 1974.

My heart is pounding. I've done a crazy dance in front of my open window, who cares what the neighbours think. My face is like this Grin Grin Grin Grin

But can it be true? Please please please let it be true!

BiglyBadgers · 08/06/2017 22:11

Dh is going out for an emergency crisp and chocolate run, as we had fully expected to be going to bed in despair. Now we will have to stay up.

PattyPenguin · 08/06/2017 22:11

Is there any hope we will have a Michael Portillo moment?

RedToothBrush · 08/06/2017 22:12

I think YouGov is close.
CON - 302
Lab - 269
LD - 12
SNP - 44

Lab, SNP, Green, PC and LD = 318

RhythmAndStealth · 08/06/2017 22:12

Oh Jesus please let this be true.

Badders123 · 08/06/2017 22:12

I've just woken ds1 up to tell him
We have just done a happy dance
Round his bedroom
Please please please let this be right

Regardless of my opinion of Corbyn, he's certainly changed politics - he's engaged huge swathes of people & is entirely different from the polished & media shmoozing politicians like Cameron & Blair.

LadyLance · 08/06/2017 22:13

Just seen on fb that a first time voter in my constituency wasn't allowed to vote despite registering on time and having a polling card as she "wasn't on the list". Assuming the result here doesn't go how she would like it to anyway, does anyone have any advice as to what she should do?

I've suggested contacting her preferred candidate and the local press.

RedToothBrush · 08/06/2017 22:13

On the basis of this. Watch out for Amber Rudd at 2am.

Oh God I really hope that exit poll is accurate. I was going to buy cake for the office tomorrow either way, but it would be nice to have it as a celebration not a wake (we are NHS research and not Tory voters).

BigChocFrenzy · 08/06/2017 22:13

If it stays this way, the E27 may have to give the UK a lot of extra time to sort this out - they'd have no one to talk to.

If so, Tory minority govt, dependent on other parties agreement to pass bills.

It is NOT a mandate for anything.
The voters chose "none of the above"

Another GE is not an acceptable option - the voters might choose Monster Raving Loony if they have to vote again this year.
