This. ^ Some people on here are going batshit and loco over 13 seats ... Big deal, some people supported Reform, so what? People are entitled to views that are not left wing and centric. A few people are just utterly aghast and so pearl-clutchy that anyone thinks differently to them!

Edited

Reform will have received half as many votes as Labour. That is very significant.

The seats comparison isn’t really relevant in terms of assessing their support.

The BBC did it on tv, but i've not found a breakdown by constituency online yet.

Thanks, Sky have one but you have to enter each constituency manually, cant find one with a simple map!

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.

Have you not noticed the immigration figures over the last 5 years?

This suggests Hull East could go to Reform.

Maybe the immigrants can build there own house

Perhaps because we aren't being short sighted about this.

If the exit poll is remotely accurate, witj that number of seats and that percentage of the vote share, there is no way that politic won't be changed in some way in the future. That is a huge chunk of the public that are VERY angry.

As an immigrant I am quite scared right now, and what I really don't want is people sneering and dismissing what a threat this represents to immigrants in the UK.

Sure, celebrate this election. It is the next one that I am worried about.

I'm sure the results for a few key constituencies, and tbh I think its likely to be fairly accurate. Some of these seats are odd ones that are often wrong on less accurate polls, so my gut instinct is that its about right.

Shocked in a “how on earth did that many people vote for them?!” way.

Most recent polls put them on anything up to 7, but most of them were predicting 3/4.

I’m baffled by that too. I noted that the Reform candidate in our constituency had his registered address 300 miles away?! Hardly capable to be representative of our local area. I’ll just be happy to see SNP implode…fingers crossed 🤞

if Reform do get the predicted seats, it might make Labour take note. That’s a lot of people voting for them.

The countryside will now be turned into concrete. We’ll have to pay to drive anywhere near a town centre & immigration will be off the scale. I hope KS has a lot of money for housing, NHS & dentistry as he’ll need it!

Great news for animals though!

The countryside is already paved over round here. Loads of identical box houses on car centric estates miles with no amenities have gone up everywhere over the last 14 years.

Immigration has reached record levels under the Tories.

Labour Andy Burnham put the Manchester congestion chain hold so disagree on that point too.

Jutemat · 04/07/2024 22:46

Cant see any Reform in the North East which is surprise, oh apart from Hartlepool

NotJinxingAnything · 04/07/2024 22:44

Exactly. Tories did naff-all about it. People voted for Brexit to reduce illegal immigration, and it never happened.

Stellarcasted · 04/07/2024 22:46

I live in an area which in all probability may have voted reform. Crossing my fingers Very much that my new mp tomorrow won't be reform. We have very high levels of immigration populations in my deprived town, including a few highly concentrated areas of small boat arrival immigrants being housed right in the centre of already over developed residential areas - hundreds of single young men being put here with absolutely nothing for them to do so they spend all their time hanging around local parks and smoking weed outside the supermarkets. No attempt by the local council to help them integrate at all or to smooth relations with local residents. They're not allowed to work or volunteer. They walk around fairly aimlessly in large groups and some local women feel intimidated, rightly or wrongly.

A lot of people around here are very fed up with it and therefore reform is very popular.

I don't agree with their stance, i voted labour, and i haven't got a problem with the new residents but i do have a bit of sympathy that all questions or objections were branded racist without any attempt to answer them so they turn to reform.

THANK YOU! I will be able to sleep now. Until 3am 🤣

FinalCeleryScheme · 04/07/2024 22:47

The Tories will be quite relieved by that, IMO. There were many polls saying worse. Still a rout though.

Labour are nailed on for two terms. But if they don’t get lucky with economy, as Blair was, they won’t get three. There’s no political philosophy behind them - even an illusory one like ‘the third way’. The wheels will come off on public sector expectations and foreign policy.

Reform will disappear as quickly as they’ve arrived.

All set for a crapper version of New Labour!

As I say, I'm expecting a HUGE turnout for Reform in Hull. Its been rumoured all day.

Anyone else get the feeling the Torys would still be in charge had they used there heads and put Rory Stewart in charge?

looks like snp is going to get a battering. well deserved imo

I don’t share that view at all.

Reform will have received around 20% of the vote with Labour on maybe 37%.

I think Labour will struggle to last more than a single term. All it needs is some form of combined right of centre party and Labour are gone in 2029.

Seems conservative held Scotland, but some surprise results,,penny mourdant may have lost her seat…
