General Election 2017

Starting to flag a little. Been up nearly 22 hours now.

Tory majority / next government odds shortening now. Feels like I'm missing some of the story on ITV currently, so I'm turning over to BBC again.

Just followed the shortening. Not quite sure why that came about!

 

[Curious Orange]

It's carnage out there folks!

 

[Weststander]

It's really strange that the Conservatives are making their gains in Scotland.

They went for the SNP jugular of ten years of failed domestic policies up there and a staunch defence of the Scottish fishing industry, which had been crushed by the Common Fisheries Policy. Although both pro EU, Sturgeon hung her hat on all things EU being marvellous.

Any irony that the next government might be a "coalition of chaos" between the Conservatives and the DUP?

Enjoying how you're clinging on to this one stat.

I'm not clinging onto anything - I didn't vote Tory.

I just think the betting markets give a very good indication of the current story and, as above, the shortening of the Tories in all markets suggests I'm missing out on something currently.

Dimbleby 'bloody hell'

Who said "bloody hell" on BBC just then

ITV predicting Tories 322 - can almost form a government

Yep Labour/SNP/Lib Dem /Sinn Fein/Other was the only realistic alternative to a Tory majority .. good luck and well done entrusting the future of our country with that lot.

I get that you're disappointed that things are looking the way they are, but there's only one direction you should be looking in to apportion blame, and that's in the direction of the stupid woman who let her greed get the better of her by calling the election in the first place.

I refuse to flounce and will stay to see it out in the vain hope that the Tories win big!!

Plus the onion powder and garlic powder in my roasted peanuts is playing havoc with my IBS.

I may do a half flounce about 5am.

This onion and garlic powder, are you sprinkling it on from a perforated herbs and spices drum, or are you throwing it on like a Sumo wrestler luzzing salt around an arena?

Does seem odd. Can't work out what I'm missing

The Lib Dems won't join any formal coalition and do Sinn Fein even turn up to Westiminster? Regardless, you'd not want to get on their wrong side would you?

Dimbleby as that Scots result came in

I saw earlier Angus Robertson & Alex Salmond are both at risk of losing their seats.

Angus has lost his seat

 

[Weststander]

Labour failed to take working class Tunbridge Wells. The Tory fight back might just be on?

 

[atomised]

Shes made it to Maidenhead

 

[Ernest]

Theresa May has lost her chain tonight

 

[seagulls4ever]

I think you guys are placing too much emphasis on the betting markets. This can't be predicted.

 

[Mellotron]

We found Theresa May! 3 hours late.
