That's really interesting, @Mercury2702. What's their reasoning?

Probably the nhs promises rather than knowing some of the other outrageous parts of their manifesto

BeverForget · 04/07/2024 22:25

It will be interesting to see how the SNP spin this collapse and how/if they recover.

I wonder - how long it will take Sunak to head out to the golden West?

Can we finally be rid of the blonde binbag Johnson?

When will Suella declare her interest in captaining the good ship Venus?

How long before Keith is pushed off a ledge?

I have been fear-predicting a relative success for Reform. It fills me with dread. Does anyone know what percentage of the UK electorate 13 seats might represent?

When I looked at the exit poll diagram on my phone before watching the coverage I actually spontaneously did that laugh voldemort did

Has @DistinguishedSocialCommentator resigned from MN yet?

OMFG can we tag if they haven't commented?

I would LOVE to know their thoughts

RedToothBrush · 04/07/2024 22:26

So this is the range of the high / lows in the final polls before today to give you and idea of how that Exit poll sits. This is from Electoral Calculus - its not the best source but this does give a rough idea of how things are looking.

It looks like Labour voters may not have turnout out as well as expected, and the Con vote did come up more than expected. The SNP collapse have made it slightly better for Labour, and conversely I think Reform have done very well across the country, not just in the number of seats they've won and thats also benefitted Labour despite the Con voters coming out more than perhaps expected.

To reflect on this, the IPSOS final poll yesterday noted that intention to vote was fascinating - the number of 18 to 25 years planning to vote was down 21%, so that is consistent with my thoughts above about whats happened.

Caution still at this point, but on the face of it, although its a clear landslide for Labour there's much more going on here that that headline suggests.

We shall see.

The Result

Say goodbye to the English countryside. We’re in for five years of mass immigration and house building on an eye-watering scale. If you like traffic, overcrowding, and rows and rows of tiny houses jammed on top of one another, open the champagne.

OneOfThoseOldFashionedWomen · 04/07/2024 22:27

SeriaMau · 04/07/2024 22:19

Because they want to use immigrants for target practice?

Yes , that is the reason people are voting reform.

Honestly I despair sometimes

*No I didn't vote Reform

Maia77 · 04/07/2024 22:27

Oh such a relief. No more Sunak, Johnson and the rest of them. What they have done to this country is unforgivable. Glad that the majority of people have recognised it. Good riddance.

GrouchyKiwi · 04/07/2024 22:27

Am very hopeful the SNP predictions are correct.

CaveMum · 04/07/2024 22:28

Good thing Alastair and Nadine are at opposite ends of the table 🤣🤣🤣

As a fellow NHS nurse I agree. Can't wait to go to work tomorrow under a labour government. It's been a long time coming.

The Conservative party have got what they deserved if the polls are right.

You can only fuck people over for so long before they turn.

Why stress about Reform? Still a very small fry. Look at the headlines, its a whitewash!

Reform are predicted to get more seats than the Lib Dems did in 2019 (12), so yes that is worrying ffs.

See my last post. They've done well. Watch out for the % of the popular vote for them. They may yet be the third party on the popular vote. The LD vote tends to be concerntrated and restricted to particular consitutencies only and doesn't translate as an even spread across the country. UKIP traditionally was spread across the country much more broadly.

Whoever comes third in the popular vote gets guarenteed airtime on public broadcasters, so this really matters.

I’m hull too and had to vote around 9pm after leaving my 13 hr shift, Diana Johnson is my local mp. A lot of my fellow nhs workers were voting reform

Why? What’s wrong with them? Aren’t they pro-NHS?

theDudesmummy · 04/07/2024 22:29

Reform at 13 is horriffic. Hopefully not

PoppyCherryDog · 04/07/2024 22:29

Agree with others the exit poll looks positive! But the number of predicted seats for Reform is worrying!

HungryLittleCrocodile · 04/07/2024 22:13

Funny as in Farage was convinced he was going to be the opposition, and get 150+ seats or something. He got a shitty 13 seats!

Farage has been clear that this election is about building a base - getting a reasonable % of the vote.

13 seats would be a massive result considering he was previously forecast to get half that at most. He will be over the moon.
