Right. Time to hang my hat on a prediction. I'm going to go with a 20 seat majority for the Tories which will be viewed as a disaster considering their numbers 6 weeks ago.

Voted labour - feel bad taking away a vote from the greens (whom I voted for last time) and also feel bad I didn't vote for lib dems :(

I was very torn. Cambridge is a Lib/Labour marginal. I don't really want a Corbyn led government, and I've never voted Labour before. However I feel him doing well would be extremely good for UK politics for a whole host of reasons. I stuck with the Lib Dems in the end, for local political reasons.

I think it will be more, but not by much. It's going to be the biggest own goal in recent political history considering she/they went into the election on the premise that they need a huge majority to make a success of Brexit. EU leaders must be having a bit of a laugh, even though I doubt it will make much difference to negotiations.

I don't think May will last if it's less that a 30 seat majority.
 
Not one person in the polling station at 1800

Voted green. Doesn't matter in my area though

What are the odds for Corbyn to Outlast May as Leader of their party, probably worth a punt?
 
Voted labour. I believe most of my family voted labour too... although rewind to a few weeks ago they were all likely to vote tories.

If the polls are right Corbyn isnt going to win and the tories will get a majority. I don't really know what I want to happen next with Labour. I want a left wing party and I believe corbyn has very good ideal and morals. In my eyes he would make a very good PM. But If he stays im not sure if it will turn voters off.... and his past will always be brought up by the media.

That's the same figure I went with when asked at work.
 
After the election I'd suggest Corbyn/Labour should win the FIFA fair play award (as did Gary Linker/England in the "Hand of God" World Cup).

The entire campaign from the other side has been negative, soundbite ridden and virtually ignored the public and any form of genuine debate.
In the face of press attacks, personal attacks and out right lies I'd argue he has stayed classy!

A bit of confirmation bias here methinks. Yes the Conservative campaign has been pretty negative but so have the other campaigns.
 
Well, as someone who has never voted Labour before.....I did tonight

My personal reasons

May wants to control the Internet which is the most idiotic thing I have heard in a long time
After the recent London attacks she said enough is enough, which is again beyond ridiculous (the first time was enough)
She's spent more time telling us why we shouldn't vote for corbyn over why we should vote for her
Cuts to the Police, NHS and Education have been far too drastic
The gap between the rich and poor is just insane, it really is
Fox Hunting......hello......it's 2017 FFS
Private sector is not the holy grail, some things are better in the public sector (and this is coming from someone who never thought much of the public sector before)
Diane Abbot has stepped down lol

I'm not 100% labour, far from it.....but I do think, at this moment in time, they are better than the tories (christ, has it really come to this)
