[Politics] The General Election Thread

Indications it's going to be hung parliament.

From whom? Odds on Con Majority have shortened again to 1.36. No Overall Majority 3.95, Labour Maj 60

Genuine question -what indications?

What I've been reading. Mate I hope to god I'm wrong. I would never be happier.

I couldn't be more happier if I'm wrong. I really hope I am.

I was standing in the reception area of the village polling station at 5.30 this evening with a clipboard, a worried expression and a Liberal Democrat rosette. A voter came in and had a word with me about the LibDems stopping Brexit. "I am not happy," she said. Five minutes later she emerged from the voting hall, gave me a copy of the New Testament and disappeared into the night. I am not beyond redemption it seems.

Thanks. I wasn't being critical, just that I was intrigued as to how you would know.

For what it's worth, I hear canvassing returns today have given Labour an internal projected vote share of 36.2%. Their number crunchers are saying its now 50/50 between a a hung parliament and a small Tory majority.

Sounds like we have control of our borders before we leave, so all the lies about taking back control, were just that, lies. Thanks for confirming it.

PS It's called Article 7.

How can we have control when they got into the country in the first place

Thank you for that and I respect the fact that you are clearly seeking common ground. I have to say that I have (genuinely) not seen any real evidence that his crew, as you put it, have blamed the poor or that immigrants are parasitic -where do you get this from? And I applaud the fact that you do see the dangers of the extreme left wing. I am NOT trying to gain points, and in fact I suspect that we might have more in common, when I suggest that a centre social democracy which helps the genuinely under-privileged, but also does not simply take from the successful, would be a desirable situation.

Thank you for dignified comments.....
As the exit polls come in, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Regards the above.... worth a read:

Passports just the same as you, when you go abroad. We have a Border Force, because we aren't in Schengen. It was one of the opt outs.

Exit poll showing biggest Tory win of all time!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Con Majority odds now 1.02

Great exit poll we are saved if it comes true

 

[oldboyroy]

Yes total Tory landslide Corbyn to resign

 

[Guinness Boy]

If that exit poll is correct then I've won £25 and Corbyn is a dead man walking
