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

[Psycho Ned]

Sunderland Central has bigger swing to Conservative. That's another hit against that exit poll

Need one of the seats where they did the exit poll to declare, if that goes against the exit polls figures then the Torys may still be in business.

Bloody Hell! Alasdair Campbell just said something I agreed with. He remarked that if the poll is right or close to right, then it means the national papers have lost a lot of the clout they used to because they were going all out against Labour which is a good thing.

Thankfully, all they do is print ******** fake news. About both sides and muddy the water.

No thanks.

Will 100% matter in all the marginals should this swing be repeated across the country.

Yeah this kind of swing across the country = a decent con majority.

On the other hand it isn't winning them anything - though not really expected in these seats - but could be a theme of the night of Cons making gains that aren't necessarily helping them to win.

Or labour making gains in existing strongholds. The current results point to a slightly larger gain for Consveratives. This could play out very well in the marginals for Conservatives

The point is these are labour safe seats, it is however extremely important for the marginals.

I thought the location of exit poll surveys was confidential?

thought this was quite cool:

 

[Uriel]

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

I began to suspect it as soon as they published their manifesto.

Exactly, long way to go yet

 

[Christmas themed thank]

I think it's far too early to say this election is going one way or the other.

If it bears out to the marginals which it probably will but I'm not counting anything out tonight.

I think it might be a night of cons making gains that are less than useful to them and Labour making some gains that are a bit more meaningful.

 

[Uther]

Talk that Clegg might lose his seat lol

 

[Rilot]

Can we have a result that isn't in the north-east?

 

[Rilot]

Oh, Swindon coming.

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Can we have a result that isn't in the north-east?

I think you start to get a rush about 3 hours in normally so an hour or so to go yet

 

[Nitefly]

Can we have a result that isn't in the north-east?

No - they count the fastest because they're all keen to run home to eat their billy bear ham. So northern.

 

[LOAM]

Swindon north cons hold but a 10.7% labour swing, practically all the kippers went labour.

 

[Greebo]

Can we have a result that isn't in the north-east?

We count faster than southerners.

Can we have a result that isn't in the north-east?
