[The_Abyss]

Not sure about the exit polls - SNP losing 40% of their seats?

 

[Nitefly]

Could well see a Lab/SNP/Lib Dem coalition.

Yup just said that on Beeb.

 

[Cosimo]

So Labour and SNP coalition?

Independence for England now.

 

[StriderX]

Could well see a Lab/SNP/Lib Dem coalition.

Its not possible, its hung completely in this.

 

[Robbo]

Why are Sunderland so bothered about counting first?

 

[weringo]

Can someone update on live Pound vs Euro/Dollar, i never know which tracker is right.

1.276 according to tracker on the bloomberg channel

Exit poll looks somewhat predictable, it was always questionable if Conservatives would get enough for a majority.

I think think they will because the exit poll often underestimates them.

Its dropped by a couple of pence against the dollar

Why are Sunderland so bothered about counting first?

They haven't got much else going for them

 

[el_dazza]

Odds for Conservative majority shortening rapidly.

It was 1/7 pre exit poll for a Con majority, it's now 5/6. Hell of a change.

Wouldnt be a surprise a lot of seats are potential marginals alongside actual marginals.

 

[Caracus2k]

Could well see a Lab/SNP/Lib Dem coalition.

With the Lib Dem's categorically stating they wouldn't enter into a coalition government??

 

[Yaayuh!]

It'll still be conservative, doubt it'll be hung.
Here's to trying though guys *raises beer*.

2 out of the last 3 overestimated them I believe.

Does anyone know if the pollsters mechanisms for accounting for shy toryism is incorporated into the exit poll numbers?

If it's not, then I really do fancy a Cons majority, as I think shy toryism will be stronger than ever.

2015 exit poll said 216 Cons seats, only 2 more than now. And all was fine. So maybe we'll end up with a similar number of seats...

If the OCUK polls ends up in Labour winning I expect this to be mirrored nationally given the strong blue ties on here previously.

 

[wildman]

Why are Sunderland so bothered about counting first?

because they lost Defoe and won't come first in the championship next season ?

 

[StriderX]

If Britain does one thing right, its utter chaos Lol. I love it.

 

[Slam62]

So Labour and SNP coalition?

Yes, along with the lib dems
