General Election 2017

[Bozza]

Theresa May to be next PM also plunging - back down to evens-ish favourite.

 

[Ernest]

I bet the Tory MP's losing their seats tonight will be well chuffed, could have been there for another 3 years and they will be itching for revenge now

 

[Weststander]

To take advantage of the huge poll lead, including Labour's awful showing in the local elections earlier this year.

 

[Bozza]

Kueeeeennnnssberg just saying reports starting to emerge that Labour COULD pitch for becoming biggest party. Gains expected from SNP, taking more from UKIP than expected, and holding more strongly than expected.

You've completely misunderstood me. Conservatives have become far more the favourite to have most seats. The complete opposite of what you're saying.

 

[Ernest]

Labour minority government is now favourite on Betfair

 

[Weststander]

Cocky SNP being put back in their box. Fantastic.

 

[Bozza]

LAB majority now only 7-1

23-1 on Betfair which is the real odds.

 

[Bodian]

Tim Farron could lose now

Hope not. I voted Labour here for the first time, on the basis that Farron would still win! Hope he doesn't lose by two votes.....

 

[Bozza]

Labour minority government is now favourite on Betfair

...but still less likely than the combined odds of a Tory majority or minority.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

With you on that. Riveting stuff but little to feel positive about once the dust settles

But the electorate will have made the point that they can't be taken for granted and treated with contempt. That, surely, is a good thing.

 

[Bozza]

Theresa May to be next PM now down to 3/4.

What is going on that the BBC aren't reporting?

...but still less likely than the combined odds of a Tory majority or minority.

Odds are all over the place, nobody knows is the call.

Tory move to replace her tomorrow?

 

[Mellotron]

You've completely misunderstood me. Conservatives have become far more the favourite to have most seats. The complete opposite of what you're saying.

Oh I gotcha. Yes, as you say, that's strange, because we're hearing the opposite atm.

 

[Bozza]

Tory move to replace her tomorrow?

Her odds are shortening. The market is saying she is the most likely next PM.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Funny to see Tom Watson blaming the media after spending months stabbing Corbyn in the back.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Has she turned up in Maidenhead yet?

 

[Mellotron]

Has she turned up in Maidenhead yet?

Gone missing again - like the whole campaign. In the field of wheat no doubt.

 

[studio150]

She made the fatal mistakes of taking the Tory and pro-Brexit support for granted. She should have lied through her teeth and promised all things to all people (see Labour manifesto/campaign).

She made a load of promises:

Strong and Stable Leadership
Not having to sell your house while you are alive
Hard Brexit
Ending winter fuel allowance for most pensioners
Removing the triple lock on pensions
Ending Human Rights Act

Surely all these are vote winners?
