Plus the 10 DUP MPs who I think wouldn't be able to vote on education bills, though I could be wrong on that.

Have Fiona Hill & Nick Timothy been lynched in Parliament Square yet?

Yes.
Corbyn has been quiet today... I wonder what he's up to.
Mad labour only had 792,967 less voted than Conservative.

OK, had a look at the data and tactical2017's suggestions were "correct" (their suggestion was either won or came 2nd) in 573/632 constituencies (leaving NI out of it).
They were "wrong" (i.e. their suggestion came 3rd or worse) in 59. 58 times it was suggesting LDem, the only other one was the suggestion of voting Green in Isle of Wight (3rd behind Con and Lab).
Also, of those 58 of them it didn't matter as the Conservative winner got more votes than the 2nd place candidate and the candidate tactical2017 were suggesting.
The one remaining constituency was Portsmouth South were tactical2017 suggested voting LDem but they came third, but Labour still won (with Tories coming 2nd).
tl;dr tactical2017's suggestions did not split the vote and hand the Tories a win in any constituency
[EDIT] FYI @Velocio

Do you reckon it's going to be big down there? The FB event is pretty popular.
Might head over to see what the fuss is about/cheer randomly.

That's good. I was torn in my constituency where Con were holding, and Lib was the suggestion on the tactical voting machines. A friend of mine who is involved in local politics said a Lab swing was more likely so I voted Lab. Con won, then Lab, then Lib.

So, with a working 'Government' majority of 2, Ken Clarke is suddenly in a position to cause no end of trouble ...
-

I think the strange thing is the volatility of the vote swings-16%?
Yes, very much so. It seems to be something similar as with the UKIP drops in the UK, although I'm of too little brain to work out how exactly.
