[Politics] The NSC 'up all night' election night *** OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD ***

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Is it me or has Kussenburg been chewing a wasp all evening?

Who was that fat teenge **** in the blue jacket in Sunderland? The 'Reform' candidate? Christ.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Shocking.

The Emperor speaks now on C4.

Leader of the 18th century on BBC1 now….

 

[HangletonGull]

Ress on beeb ffs

 

[Bry Nylon]

Reform are in for a huge huge night

This. And I’m surprised that anybody is surprised tbh.

 

[Si Gull]

that reform vote is stunning and it's come from both main parties.

Hopefully won't be replicated across the country....but I'm fearful.

Reform are in for a huge huge night

Its staggering that so many are taken in by them.

Still the UK's perpencity to vote for a right wing party cannot be under estimated.

 

[nwgull]

It's as anonymous as the ballot box. They're given a replica voting slip, asked to complete it as they had done so inside, and it goes in a box. So - they don't have to publicly declare their support.

And anyway, the pollsters account for these nuances. They’re incredibly accurate when it comes to exit polls and usually get to within a percentage margin of error when it comes to prediction of seats won.

Im not surprised the right wing have new leader

?? - Labour vote 2,600 up from 2019. Rest pretty much unchanged except for Tory votes going to Reform.

 

[Weststander]

Sunderland beat Blyth. 11k Reform votes in Sunderland South and come second! 'Kinell.

11,668 sick to death of immigrants and they want to MUKGA.

Having hated FPTP for the majority of my life, I’m very close to admitting you’ve been right. That’s very scary indeed. They have no policies FFS.

 

[Berty23]

So if Barnsley north goes to reform bloke then does it count as reform given he has already been kicked out for being too racist? I wonder how many more that are overtly racist will come out once checks start when they become MPs?!

 

[Berty23]

Yes they have. Boot out the immigrants and crash the economy. Obviously those who most rely on public services that will be destroyed are the target market.

 

[BadFish]

To me it shows what a shit show the Tories are at the moment.

Once they sort their shit out, surely reform lose those protest votes and slide back to irrelevancy?

Or am I just being optimistic.

 

[Jack Straw]

I didn't know JRM's parents were Churchill and Thatcher?

 

[jcdenton08]

But this happened before with UKIP who would’ve got a number of seats in a previous election. FPTP helps keeps the nutters out, as we will see tonight.

Sunderland beat Blyth. 11k Reform votes in Sunderland South and come second! 'Kinell. 3.1% swing from Labour to Reform.
Turnout 51%

Phillipson got about 2000 more votes than at the last election.

Combined Conservative and Reform/Brexit/UKIP votes over the last few elections hasn't moved all that much in the scheme of things (that is, in a constituency where they've never come all that close to winning). UKIP came second in 2015 there as well.

11,668 sick to death of immigrants and they want to MUKGA.

My brief discussions today at work suggests that a vote for Reform is a protest vote, rather like some used the Brexit vote as a protest vote.
