Westministenders: The Election Car Crash

[RedToothBrush]

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

Tories are toxic coalition partners after the 2010-2015 experience.
No takers for junior partner - looks like insufficient NI unionists for that.

They have to ask other parties to let them form a minority govt with "confidence and supply"
i.e. support them on votes of no confidence and on certain bills - but this involves negotiating and May is not good at that.

But NO mandate for hard Brexit or hard anything .... could be rowing back on a lot of things ...
Consensus govt ?

Any predictions for North West Leicestershire yet!?

My Seat. Not on the list to change. Darn.

Huge amount of constituencies split almost straight down the middle.

Too close to call list:

Chingford & Woodford Green, the Conservatives have a 79% chance of victory, Labour has a 21% chance of victory

THIS IS IDS.

But with all this churn, exit polls could be way out - bbc in 1987 was 76 out, in 1992 they were 70 out.
So might still be a majority.
May is still toast though

Strong & Stable MY ARSE

Whatever happens, pound has slid another 1% and the Tory party will never forgive her this panic

I reckon 80% or so of the too close to call will go blue.

Damn. I wish I didn't have important meetings tomorrow, otherwise I'd stay up.

My seat neither Red Think they are wrong.

IDS? Oh please please please. The EU may step in. Not an acceptable result or mandate for action. What a shocker.

The scalp of IDS ! < spins prayer wheel >

The list is interesting. The definite Con wins. 11 in total. 6 in Scotland. 4 in Wales. 1 in East England.

I mean Strongly Suggested Con Gains.

I Lie.

My seat. Likely Red.

I also have meetings tomorrow, but I work in local government, so expect majority of my colleagues to be up as well. We will all be wrecked.

Well, that's me eaten all my sandwiches already. And neither the Geordies or the Mackems even declared yet.

citroen The EU have no power whatsoever when a member GE ends in a muddle.
The UK may need to ask for more time though, if it doesn't actually have a govt to do the negotiating
A50 talks are due to resume Monday - that may be optimistic !

Do we know where the lib Dems gains are in the exit polls?

Suppose we end up like Belgium once did, without a government for , what was it, 9 months?

Wouldn't that make Brexit fun?

Current impact on GBP....it's fairly dramatic. Traders obviously believe the exits.

Andrew RT Davies, Tory leader in Wales and all-round arse, says he has every confidence in Theresa May.

That's her fooked, then.

Poll expert advises caution:

Exit polls do not take in the last hour or more of real voting.

Wow!
Even if the exit polls are wrong, there is no chance for a Tory landslide now!

Or Spain Patty. Six months no government then another election.

I need to go to bed for a bit. Doubt I'll get any sleep.

Just this....
