General election? June 8th?

[Batman]

well, this could get messy

[badgerx16]

Exit poll suggesting no overall majority. Lol.

If so, how much time and money has May wasted ?

[Lord Duckhunter]

I don't buy SNP on 34

Oh god this could be worst case scenario

Exit poll predicting no overall control.Woohoo!! (maybe) (all other things remaining equal disclaimer).

[aintforever]

****ing brilliant if they lose majority

[buctootim]

Called it

 

bloody lefty.

[buctootim]

314 could be governable for a few months with the support of the Unionists.

[sandwichsaint]

Please, please, please,

 

for once can the exit polls be right?

 

Sits Vac = tory party leader?

[aintforever]

Could it be Corbyn PM in lib, lab snp coalition?

SNP forming part of the Brexit negotiating team ?

Not with SF not taking their seats & speaker. Provided the unionists vote with Tories

I wonder if May would give Scotland independence in exchange for Brexit?

[aintforever]

I can't see the exit poll being right, I think there will be a lot of weird results.

lib lab snap sounds like breakfast cereal

The polls were actually really consistent on a raw data basis - the difference was dependent on how much young people woere estimated to turn out. Heavy rain keeping the oldies away could make the difference.

[CB Fry]

Well I didn't see that coming and no mistake. At 9:58 I wrote down 74 and said to the missus there's your majority (she's a Tory).

 

For the first time ever I could be wrong about something.

 

Still think the Tories will scrape it although the SNP looks too low.

You accidentally missed out his second sentence "But if right, May has to resign - she has squandered a majority. Brexit - shambles"

If it came to this I'm sure Jez could call in some favours, #longtermplanning

Give us the whole tweet;

"I think exit poll is flattering Labour in small towns. But if right, May has to resign - she has squandered a majority. Brexit - shambles"

[benjii]

PM Boris?

[Lord Duckhunter]

The only people as nervous as Mrs May tonight will be the polling industry. Last time they screwed it up, until the exit poll. If they've ****ed that up this time, they're finished

This poll has been reasonably accurate for the previous 5 elections.

[aintforever]

Polls are always wrong

TBF Brexit has been a shambles for the last 12 months, May has been a shambles for about the last 7 years.

Just to put fanboy out of his misery, I voted for the coalition of chaos.

Lib Dems will make a second referendum a must for any coalition.

Apart from calling a hung parliament last time?

"Conservatives in Southampton say exit polls often accurate & not very encouraging. Itchen most marginal seat in south, Test is Labour target"

[CB Fry]

Same time next year then? #vote2018

[Colinjb]

The election was not the error, the campaign was.

Later in the Summer I suspect.

Predicticting that Cameron would stay in #10 was 'reasonably accurate'.

[sandwichsaint]

Can someone look up 'hubris' on Wiki?

[CB Fry]

This is true. A majority was there for the taking.

[hypochondriac]

Not sure how this would leave brexit. To be honest if we have a coalition with jezza as pm then I'd rather stay in.

[buctootim]

The election was not the error, the campaign was.

 

Making her PM despite being a ****e Home Secretary was the main error.

[Dr. Kucho]

Can't believe May messed up so badly. With the Tories running high in polls months ago and Labour a mess, they could have spent months planning this election and rehearsing the questions they could get. Instead in a period of 7 weeks they have completely botched this up. Regardless of the results tonight, she should step down.

[Nordic Saint]

I wonder just how big the remain majority would be if the EU referendum were held now? Remainers would certainly win. The Brexit vote was largely just a protest against immigration after the electorate were bombarded with news about immigrants coming in from Calais. As soon as the media barons got the result they wanted, those news bulletins stopped. Anyway, we are sleepwalking towards Brexit even though most people don't want it now.

[Lord Duckhunter]

She should have gone after The Lords throw A50 back to The Commons

It wasn't far off. Was certainly closer than many of polls just before voting day - some of which predicted a Labour win. At the time, people thoguht the exit poll overstated Tory gains. Hence Ashdown's famous eat my hat comment.

[View From The Top]

I had this down as a tory majority of around 50.

 

If the exit polls in even vaguely accurate then, bloody hell, what a mess.

[CB Fry]

At the moment this feels like 2-2 at Wembley. I still think Zlatan May will nick it.

[badgerx16]

As I saw on social media earlier today - May ends in June ?

[Lord Duckhunter]

Just doesn't feel right to me. Exit poll has Cable losing in Twickenham & Salmond losing.
