Poll: Exit Poll: UK General Election 2017 - Results discussion and OcUK Exit Poll - Closing 8th July

[StriderX]

OH man, this better not mean another election, I CANT HANDLE MORE :|

 

[englishpremier]

Isn't it about time we had digital voting (at least as an option)? This old counting of ballots is a bit antiquated

 

[Nasher]

Why are we going to get 1 good year out of this shambles?

Because nothing will happen for the first year due to the shambles. So during that time at least we will be safe.

 

[LOAM]

Yep myself and a load of work collegues who normally vote tory been pooling friends all day, its been quite stunning the number of normal tory votes either voting elsewhere/not voting or spoiling

With the exception of my parents I don't know a single person in my circle of friends (all business professionals) who voted Conservative this time, they were seen as unpalatable.

What's the minimum seats May needs to keep her job?

 

[Jokester]

I didn't think there was one for Brexit?

Brexit exit polls had it too close to call.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Bring on the coalition of chaos.

 

[McBain]

Wrong in '15 and I think they also got the Scottish independence wrong and Brexit wrong.

There was no Brexit exit poll IIRC?

 

[Jokester]

What's the minimum seats May needs to keep her job?

More than she's going to get

 

[asim18]

Anyone else think conservatives want to lose so they don't have to be the party that negotiated brexit?

Absolutely 100%. May has been doing absolutely everything she can to stop people voting for her.

I am truly astonished people are still voting for her, what the heck lmao

Why cant people just take her hints and not vote? Some people just want to watch the world burn I guess.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Interesting thing is the Lib Dem seats.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Anything close to what the exit polls are showing is awful for everyone in this country.

 

[dalehitchy1]

these exit polls dont include postal votes i presume?
That could change everything surely?

Is there a breakdown of postal votes from last year?

 

[Robbo]

At least the SNP have lost a load of seats, they are insufferable (based on exit poll).

 

[D.P.]

Wrong in '15 and I think they also got the Scottish independence wrong and Brexit wrong.

The exit polls correctly predicted a narrow Tory win in 2015.

 

[Greebo]

Yea I don't know why they are saying the only one which was wrong was 1992. Recently they ALL seem to have been way off.

But yea, pound already tanking at the prospect of Labour getting in.

Pound tanking at prospect of a hung parliament. If labour had won a majority it was forecast to rise strongly due to markets expect that would mean a softer brexit.

Brexit exit polls had it too close to call.

There was no proper exit poll.

There were phone polls.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Interesting thing is the Lib Dem seats.

Yea, not so sure about that and looks like a load of SNP seats have gone to Labour.

Russians would love that

The exit polls correctly predicted a narrow Tory win in 2015.

Yep, people didn't believe the exit polls from memory. No one expected an outright majority as suggested by the polls.

But it did underestimate tory vote.
