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

[HangletonGull]

Can’t see reform getting 13

 

[nicko31]

The shy Tories are the real winners tonight.

The 65 seat prediction were always outliers.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There are no ads on the Ch4 program.

Really? Great. But there is mad Nad....

 

[Hugo Rune]

The shy Tories are the real winners tonight.

Indeed. They’ve made sure the Tories have avoided their worst ever election result!


……………..hang on!

 

[Bodian]

It depends. If they cease to be shy (and declare their support) after voting I'd be surprised.

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.

I hope you're right and suspect you are. None would be lovely.

OK. Didn't know that.

But I bet Brexit voters are more inclined to do the exit poll than Tories.

 

[portlock seagull]

As with all major events in our history, including FA Cup Finals, we turn to auntie. They’ve got this. As always.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Switch to BBC1.

Ms Maitlis' earrings alone make C4 unwatchable. There are plenty of other reasons too.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I wanted to see Stewart and Campbell, but sod the gimmicks (and ads). I'm sticking with BBC1.

There will be no adverts on Channel 4 during their election programme.

 

[Eeyore]

Baker on the BBC rather than at his own count, where he has a <1% chance of winning.

In fairness it's only 45 minutes down the M40. You wouldn't turn up any earlier to Tyburn than you needed to.

Although I do believe he has the cart laid on for him.

This.

BBC One is the choice chez Frutos.

 

[WATFORD zero]

The shy Tories have, based on the exit poll, doubled the 65 predicted by all and sundry.

It’s be a shame now to see the right wingers such as Truss re-elected.

Who on earth predicted 65 ?

 

[HangletonGull]

Also on good old aunty

Good point, well made.

 

[Bozza]

They should spice up the race in Sunderland and Blyth by turning it into something like "It's a Knockout", complete with sumo suits and water hazards.

 

[Weststander]

SNP bloke on bbc talking crap. They were torn apart by Scottish voters of all ages in the two TV debates up there. Their record was torn to shreds, laughter when their politician blamed every failing on the Barnett Formula.

Trying to blame it on the Tories. Jesus.

Comes a point when blaming London for everything doesn't work

 

[BadFish]

I've just got up and found a channel 4 stream on YouTube.

They are arguing at the moment, I suspect this will continue.
