CB Saint Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Fair play to Nicola sturgeon. Best campaign and outcome by a long way. utter disaster for the libs, although they still might hold the keys to number ten
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Hey Shurlock, check it out. Gus ODonnell on Sky making predictions about what might happen if the exit polls are correct. Or was he? Lulz.
aintforever Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 The opinion polls were miles out if this exit poll is right
CB Fry Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Ed has got to go now. He's toast. Gone by lunchtime, he ain't writing no Queen's speech. If the LDs are down to 10 I can see Clegg losing his seat.
Verbal Kint Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Very depressing that such a negative campaign has brought about these sort of results
sfc1976 Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Shy Tories innit. A beautiful thing, hope it's accurate.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 I neither know nor care. HTH. He's just obsessed, brings it up nearly every discussion. He's a ****ing weirdo.
stug76 Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Looks good, as you were then. Ed is going to struggle to keep his job, I wonder who the unions will cost next? What happens to Clegg? Awful result but might still be deputy. (Assuming that exit poll is as accurate as suggested!)
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Very depressing that such a negative campaign has brought about these sort of results I asked the question last week of people who may live in marginal, target constituencies - how has the campaigning been there? Could be very different to the national campaigning that the majority are aware of which has possibly aimed more at bringing out the core vote rather than changing people's minds as it may have been in marginals.
CB Saint Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 YouGov exit poll : Con 284, Lab 263, SNP 48. Jesus, there are some huge differences there
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Kay Burleigh can hardly contain her delight at the exit polls. She is so wet for DCam.
CB Fry Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 The opinion polls were miles out if this exit poll is right It's strange - yesterday's Guardian ICM poll talked about a boat load of caveats about shy Tories and higher turnout for Conservative voters etc etc and still had them neck and neck. Having read the article I linked earlier, I trust the exit poll. Unlike Paddy Ashdown. Who will be followed around by a Sun reporter with hat and a knife and fork for the next three days.
Jonnyboy Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Knew I shouldve put a bet on the Greens to get more than one seat. Odds were a tasty 7 to 1.
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Jesus, there are some huge differences there Guy from yougov was on Sky earlier, explaining that the methodologies are quite different.
Jonnyboy Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 What, when he's talking about signing property over to his daughter? It's pretty relevant. So you care enough to post about it.
View From The Top Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 You Gov - CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1
SuperMikey Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Polls seem to be all over the place - guess we won't know until the results are official but it looks like we could potentially get another 5 years of ConDem coalition..
Chez Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Looks good, as you were then. Ed is going to struggle to keep his job, I wonder who the unions will cost next? What happens to Clegg? Awful result but might still be deputy. (Assuming that exit poll is as accurate as suggested!) Does ten seats justify getting deputy leader?
Colinjb Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Glad that Labour are squeezed, but it's still not definitive. The first time the largest party has increased their seats in government for decades on this basis.
CB Saint Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 It's quite amusing watching these politicos try to explain away the exit polls
shurlock Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Hey Shurlock, check it out. Gus ODonnell on Sky making predictions about what might happen if the exit polls are correct. Or was he? Lulz. You still don't know the difference, bless you. Crawl back in your hole of mediocrity, it's all a bit too big for you.
View From The Top Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 I'll just wait until the morning as these exit polls are all over the place.
Patrick Bateman Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Love the look of the exit poll, let's hope it's as true as last time round.
CB Saint Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 You Gov - CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1 Tory / lib / dup / ukip or lab/ SNP / lib? Libs are the king makers again
shirleysfc Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Guy from yougov was on Sky earlier, explaining that the methodologies are quite different. How does the YouGov exit poll differ from Sky/BBC etc? Surely they both speak to people after they've voted?
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 So you care enough to post about it. No, I was doing you the common decency of replying to your question. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered.
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 You still don't know the difference, bless you. Crawl back in your hole of mediocrity, it's all a bit too big for you. Alright fella, you keep telling yourself that [emoji38]
Smirking_Saint Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Another con lib government then. Well, they didnt do too badly I suppose. I welcome it
Patrick Bateman Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 How does the YouGov exit poll differ from Sky/BBC etc? Surely they both speak to people after they've voted? People that use YouGov are generally a slightly older demographic, I would give that less weight than the media one as it's slightly skewed. For example, you can get a sense of the YouGov demographic when you refer back to their research of the "typical Southampton FC supporter" tripe.
Dr Who? Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 (edited) You Gov - CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1 Lablibsmp? Still not enough. I still think it is going to be hard for any one party to form a government with help of others, to reach the magic mark. Back in December? Edited 7 May, 2015 by Dr Who?
Coxford_lou Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 David Miliband on his way back? Should have been him all along...
Colinjb Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 I can't believe the exit poll is correct... Yes, too positive to be true, still waiting for that Lab - SNP nightmare.
Dr Who? Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 I can't believe the exit poll is correct... It does not ring true!
Patrick Bateman Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Anyone doing an all nighter? No, as I'm not a parliamentary candidate, I'm off to bed, whatever will be, will be
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 I was going to Lou, but I've got to be in the office tomorrow, so I'll be off to bed soon.
Colinjb Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Anyone doing an all nighter? No chance, driving tomorrow.
pap Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Anyone doing an all nighter? Think I might stay up quite a bit, at least until first marginal is declared. Beers are in.
Dr Who? Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Anyone doing an all nighter? Stuff that. Will leave the TV on and see what has happened in the morning...... Labour need at least 270, then to get into bed with SNP!
Torres Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Remind me where the Lib Dems stand on English votes on English matters or where they might be if they have zero MPs in Scotland? With such a huge number of SNP MPs it'd be very much in the Tories interest to get such rules passed as soon as absolutey possible.
Coxford_lou Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 I attempted it a couple of times but never manage it past 3am. Given exit poll results, might have an early night
Dr Who? Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Remind me where the Lib Dems stand on English votes on English matters or where they might be if they have zero MPs in Scotland? With such a huge number of SNP MPs it'd be very much in the Tories interest to get such rules passed as soon as absolutey possible. It hurts to read that!
Whitey Grandad Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Anyone doing an all nighter? Not me, I've seen too many of 'em. I might even go to bed early. That way you get the result quicker because it's there as soon as you open your eyes.
Dr Who? Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 I attempted it a couple of times but never manage it past 3am. Given exit poll results, might have an early night Cannot believe they are going to be right! But they normally are!
Verbal Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 David Miliband on his way back? Should have been him all along... I doubt it. There was a lot of suspicion about David Miliband within the party in 2010 because of his attempts as foreign secretary to cover up and (in the words of Jon Snow) 'nobble the judges' over the extraordinary rendition and torture of British citizens, and the use of Diego Garcia as a transit point for CIA torture flights. With the Chilcot Inquiry still to report, none of those suspicions have gone away. In his association with all this, he remains a model Blairite, for which few are prepared to forgive him just yet.
Jonnyboy Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 No, I was doing you the common decency of replying to your question. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered. No you were picking TheCholulaKid up on something. My question was rhetorical, and I might add ironic.
