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

[Rilot]

Remember guys that Sinn Fein won't take their seats in the house and so with the Conservative's projected 319 they still have a majority.

I keep seeing Twitter posts saying Labour should form a minority Gov. and go ahead. The question is how? Do these people think before they type?

It's not possible for them. There is no combination that allows them to do that.

Theresa May dealt aforementioned crap hand.

Somehow, from beyond the grave, she's been Beadle'd.

Thanks Cameron for starting this whole fiasco in motion and then sodding off. No need for a brexit referendum, no need for him to step aside, no need for this election. A series of limp and pointless events. Dumb.

Show a bunch of politically disengaged people a list of flashy but completely impractical policies (go on students, all your education will be free, under no circumstances ever) and watch them make retarded decisions.

Just think; if you'd all listened to me, Ed Milliband would be PM now and none of this would be happening

It's basically been Brexit vote Mk2, leave still won though even the SNP got a good kicking.

 

[grudas]

Didn't know you were in favor of repeating things until you get your way. I guess you're in favor of 2nd EU referendum now?

of course he is when it's something her doesn't agree with. What a hypocrite.

 

[No1newts]

Extremely happy today despite only 1 hours kip! The realistic best we could have hoped for.

Yep, to form a minority government you don't need a formal coalition but you still need the support of other parties to get you past 326 and be in a position to form a government. Not possible for Labour.

You say this as if young people should have voted for the crash out of the EU that is nearly inevitable under May. Forget about whatever Corbyn was promising; simply denying May a majority was completely in their interest.

 

[delta0]

Sky news pointing out the obvious. Both parties have lost. Conservatives did worse than expected and it was a misjudged decision to have the election with a poor campaign. Corbyn failed to get a majority and any kind of level of seats that previous labour winners did. Ultimately they should both go.

- UK Independence is definitely under threat here, the likelihood of us being forced to withdraw triggering Article 50 has just gone through the roof;

...- Though the Conservative campaign was awful, the media, particularly the TV corporations gave Corbyn a much easier ride than he deserved;

These statements are completely at odds with reality. I never supported Corbyn, but he copped the worst media coverage I've seen in British politics for a very long time.

 

[Yaayuh!]

This whole thing will end all condup.

 

[delta0]

Sky news confirming DUP are talking to Conservatives now. This should be 329 seats for them.

 

[Greebo]

EU now saying they can't see how negotiations can start in 11 days time.

? Just heard an Eu guy on radio 4 saying that negotiations will start in 11 days and they wont give the UK anymore time

 

[JohnnyG]

It's a real damning indictment of the current state of our political system when the only real alternative to the incumbent government celebrate quite a big loss.
Hopefully though this will give the government a good kick up the arse.

 

[Spook187]

Well so much for the landslide that so many on here say would happen, you were wrong again surprise surprise.

 

[The Running Man]

Whoever voted for Corbyn shame on you!!

He's a weak leader determined to raid the bank and borrow up to 250 billion on top of his 'costed' manifesto.

Did we learn nothing from the last Labour government?

 

[Scrutinize]

Some early thoughts:
- Guessing Conservatives & DUP will be the coalition government, good news for Northern Ireland civil engineering companies;

Sorry but you condem Corbyn due to having highly tenuous association with NI terrorist groups, yet you would accept a party that has direct associations with it via its members and member's friends and relatives plus funding of paramilitary operations in coalition.

 

[robfosters]

Very happy with the result. At least will stop the Tories crapping on the working class, poor and disabled so much now.
