Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

[Glaucus]

Well I hope exit poll is correct, but I didn't put to much faith on it.
If so con/dem have literally just enough to form majority.

 

[Zbornak]

Can someone clever figure out a realistic coalition based on exit polls?

Tory and Lib Dem again!

 

[gettothechopper]

Blimey on those exits polls !

Cons pretty big surge

Glad ukip polling so low

LD wipe out though - people not happy bout that coalition last time
Although could easily be another con LD coalition again - with even less influence this time

 

[JBod]

It doesnt take much cleverness, 316 CON +10 LD = 326?

Yea I just realised

 

[McBain]

If clegg loses seat the libdems will not form with Tories, so it could be SNP lab, Lib to have more seats than nasty party

Still wouldn't be enough.

 

[#Chri5#]

Con+LD+Green?

Beeb was suggesting DUP to Con + LD

 

[Dolph]

Yup. They need 326 seats.

Normally 322 is enough, because the speaker doesn't vote and sin fein don't take their site.

They can't (legally) or they won't?

 

[ElliorR]

The biggest travesty of this, if true, is Katie Hopkins will be staying in the UK

 

[ginjaninja]

Jesus, Nicola Sturgeon is married.

lol, think u need "re-education"..watch "inside amy schumer"

 

[antijoke]

So how do they get that so quickly then yet main results takes longer?

I don't get how that translates to how it will pan out.

 

[Telecaster]

Turkeys voting for Christmas.

 

[robfosters]

People were saying earlier how the GD poll was full of high earners and not an accurate representative view of the country.

I say it is.

 

[Steedie]

Really hope that exit poll is true

 

[ci_newman]

Con+LD+Green?

No, just Con and Lib would do it - 316 + 10

 

[FoxEye]

Will be nice to see the % votes vs seats breakdown.

Personally I think it's time to move to some kind of PR system. A two party system does not let people vote for their #1 choice of party, which is really sad.

 

[Rroff]

and if the exit polls are correct 2 of the 3 main (or former main in the lib dems case now!) parties will be looking for a new leader tomorrow.

I feel sorry for the Lib Dems - lost a lot of support due to doing the best they could with the situation presented to them, winning the battles they could win, rather than expending a lot of effort trying to make principles stick that the Conservatives would never stand for any way and their hands were pretty much tied over the whole tuition fees thing by circumstances outside of their control. While I don't think they could run the country and I'd never support their defence policy they do have a lot of genuinely decent and capable people compared to the norm with the other major parties :S.

Blimey on those exits polls !

IMO a lot of people won't admit to voting for UKIP - I suspect they will actually do a little better than that.

 

[McBain]

I don't get how that translates to how it will pan out.

It's just a sample ... but has been accurate in the past.

 

[MrMoonX]

They can't (legally) or they won't?

They won't as cable likely to be leader and the party will go back to its roots

Atleast GBP shot up 200 points vs the dollar/yen which I'll be making some large purchases in soon.
