General Election June 2017

I'm struggling. Getting by on adrenaline at the moment.

I don't have very good reserves of that historically

Fucksticks.

talk about scraping it, ballots that voted for more than one person could of swung it the other way

on a majority of 45 ffs

I imagine Maybot in five years time, suffering from dementia muttering "strong and stable" so no change from now.

Quite a lot of very close votes. The next election may not be about policies but about who can rush around their constituency and craven beg for support. That's going to be an utter shitshow.

Snp in Fife win by 2 votes.

I think it was fife

There are lots of very close (<1000) seats that labour lost, in a second general election a coalition might be odds favourite

I wonder how much tactical voting has lead to the really close seats with the other parties getting massively squeezed like the lib dems

Yep, the LD candidate is going to be checking people's FB feeds very closely to see who didn't get to the polling booth and shitting on their carpet.

Just woke up and caught up with this thread. What's going to happen?

Hung parliament / chance of DUP propping up Tory majority (wafer thin)
or
second general election likely if theresa may steps down

Bloody difficult woman had a bloody difficult night

Good. She created this mess. She should own it.

labour hold dudley north by 22, there are so many insanely thin margins

lol at George Osborne, openly gleeful: "The worst thing she's done in her life is no longer running through a wheat field"

he also brought up this gem

So Labour can put forward a budget and a Queens speech, but who decides if they form a Government?

labour can't form a government or coalition, they lost by a lot

Great quote on BBC news from someone - "we shot ourselves in the head"

Think the Tory's get first go

congrats on the exit poll, looks as good as spot on

Skipped 20 pages, well done nightshift. Woke at 4.30 so had a tentative look. This is the best of the realistic outcomes IMO. Looking forward to #ge2018 already.

But nobody has won either

hence uncertainty, hence Sterling going south

if May forms DUP coalition then they win, but this seems 50/50
