General Election 2017

[Weststander]

A soft Brexit handled by a progressive alliance rather than fckwitts like David Davis and Iain Duncan Smith? Happy days!

The EU have said no deals unless there is complete freedom of movement, no ifs, no buts. Plus handover up to £100b for pre agreed projects such as the rebuilding of Poland.

P.S. I'm not anti Europe, I'm just saying.

I found myself shouting "Run" at a white-gloved student on the TV who didn't get speedy with a ballot box in her hands.

Bit disappointed I have to be up early for work tomorrow now. Quite fancy watching for a few hours yet.

What is the POINT of all this rushing around in Sunderland, by the way? Why bother? Do they win a medal for being first?

When I was counting (decades ago) you got paid a flat fee. So soon as you were done, you go home. Having said that, I don't remember any sprinting!

Michael Fallon is dreadful. Sevenoaks is jolly nice

sorry! Used to live in Riverhead. Had to leave - confusing mixture of lovely people and absolutely terrible snobs. Feel very sorry for the teachers at Riverhead school - pushy parents galore. Annual fete used to raise £18k every year. Mad place.

True, but that's just one seat and not a particularly 'interesting' one...

But the first few give an idea of the value of the exit poll

 

[Bozza]

Anyone who thinks a result that mirrors the exit poll is a positive for our position in Brexit negotiations really is very stupid indeed.

BBC said one of the Newcastle seats is attempting to beat Sunderland, for some, entirely pointless, reason.

A bit of fun in the early process? Seats that would otherwise not be spoken about?

Why not?
It won't be in May's hands: that's a plus surely?

Think they mean Newcastle vs Sunderland competing to be the first to get the votes transferred in the boxes and counted. Might have heard it wrong though.

Odds on BoJo to be next PM are TUMBLING.

It's gonna be a gallows humour kind of night. Bring 'em on! Get Gyles Brandreth back too.

 

[hart's shirt]

Come on Sunderland.

We don't want Newcastle finishing first twice in the space of a month..

You might need to explain that, for us very stupid people

I've met several people throughout the day today, across all area's of the town, and all were voting Labour and no one had a good word to say about Rudd.

I totally agree. If she wasn't the candidate, the Tories wouldn't have as nearly a big problem with Hastings & Rye. This house and these signs were actually put up by a Conservative voter -

There's no such thing as a soft or hard Brexit. You either leave the EU/single market or you don't.

Agreed. Clueless clowns .

On the exit poll issue, if it pans out like this May will be gone and another GE later in the year .

Oh yippee

Surely SNP aren't going to do that badly, are they?!

 

[lawros left foot]

Maybe you've got a better idea of what's going to happen than me, so please share...

If the exit poll is right, no huge Tory majority, in fact, maybe no Tory majority, ergo I'm happy

Not really. Not at all, in fact.

Let's just agree about Michael Fallon and leave the discussion on the merits of Sevenoaks for another time

 

[TSB]

Ooh the Brexitmoaners (yeah it's not catchy but hey) already starting up.

"Waah. We're doomed"

Similar. I haven't heard anyone with a good word to say about her.

I certainly couldn't find a single good word to say about her after going to one of her surgeries, principally to discuss Southern Fail.

I don't want to count chickens yet though.
