More worried. I get the frustration people have (although a lot of them voted for Tories in 2019 , so serves them right!) Over the chaos of past few years. However, people will say it is a protest yet they are voting for a racist and populist private company. I find that worrying.
John Curtice says Reform performed slightly worse and Tories slightly better than predicted in exit poll.

Doesn't feel like 1997 mk2 does it ?
Then there seemed to be the sentiment that "It has to be Blair", now its more like "Anyone but Tory".
Starmer has got a lot of work to do to win people over.

As I said to a friend of mine the other day, the far right was very popular in the 1930's but it had mostly disappeared by the mid-40s. Not sure what happened in between. Probably nothing to worry about...

Just seems to fly in the face of suggestions that it's been a bumper turnout this time.
From the Conservatives, not Labour though. I was really referring to those ridiculously safe labour seats that get announced really early in Sunderland. Which I realise I didn't make at all clear.

I’m not over enthusiastic about this exit poll I think there will be shocks here
That Vine graphic on BBC is awesome

I think queues are caused by the voter ID issue. That will have taken c5% off plus students gone home and a result not in doubt for money

So people are saying it looks like Labour have got 36% of the vote, 4% lower than Corbyn got in 2017. They are not popular and will get even more unpopular pretty quickly from this low base when people figure out they have no plan except sitting on their arses in office. What a fraudulent election system we have that this is a “landslide”
100% this. The paradox of winning a massive majority but with virtually zero enthusiasm outside the core support.

Like the Giant's Causeway or the Isle of Staffa (but without the SNP).

Spill the beans. My name is Timothy Hodges and I live in Hove
Reform spokesman on BBC says 'FPTP is broken' 'and that's why we want PR'.
Come and defend him, electoral reformers. There is some sea near Faversham and I shall gladly direct you to it.

Anger with “MP’s all being the same” means less people voting
Reform taking huge swathes of Con vote share.
And some Labour
Wonderful to see the headline exit poll
But worried about the future of our wonderful country
In five years time, the Snake Oil salesman could really be a huge influence
Hopefully he will have something better to do by then.

And what did he get in 2019? Seriously with so many more parties competitive nobody was going to get near 40%+
Of course people have been saying that for days (I for one) but you wouldn't have read that
