St Chalet Posted 8 June, 2017 Share Posted 8 June, 2017 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. And it had understated it. Tories will sneak a majority, but what a ****ing shambles.

ecuk268 Posted 8 June, 2017 Share Posted 8 June, 2017 Not with SF not taking their seats & speaker. Provided the unionists vote with Tories Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If so it would be interesting to see what stance the Unionists would take over the border with the Republic. They'd have May over a barrel (if she was still PM). The Tories are never squeamish about ditching their leaders and, as their campaign was so focused on May, there could be trouble if she delivers a worse result than 2015.

CB Fry Posted 8 June, 2017 Share Posted 8 June, 2017 Another week of campaigning from Theresa May and Labour would have won. She comes across as a cold fish who can't empathise with ordinary people. What was interesting to read the other day was that May has never been front line in an election campaign - she was skulking around the background for the Brexit vote and was never front and centre in Cameron's campaigns or those before it. She was never picked to do that role. Now we can see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 8 June, 2017 Share Posted 8 June, 2017 Pardon my ignorance and please correct me if this is wrong, but assuming the exit polls are accurate would that essientially mean that it'd be a minority conservative government, as Labour cannot get a majority regardless of who they go into coalition with? Whatever happens, I think May should seriously consider her position as the past couple of months have been a joke really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted 8 June, 2017 Share Posted 8 June, 2017 Pony Labour's % will be inflated by winning big in areas they already hold. The Tories will eat into their marginal seats and win dozens and dozens of them. If there's a 10% swing to the Tories it will be an absolute disaster for labour. 140 territory.

badgerx16 Posted 8 June, 2017 Share Posted 8 June, 2017 The difference with respect to the exit poll is claimed to be due to the postal votes not being included.
