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

[BadFish]

Why are all the northern results coming in first?

Is it a time zone thing?

 

[Berty23]

Ah. As I type bbc start pointing this out.

 

[Weststander]

Turnout is always low in the North East I believe

Their turn outs are down on previous GE’s, that was the experts point.

I think it is linked to geographical size of the areas and how easy it is to get election boxes to places. Much easier in tight urban areas than dropping all the boxes from around south Devon.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Corbyn and Galloway incoming....all about what Muslims think about Gaza. Sad really.

But irrelevant.

Small rotten boroughs and most are too p1ssed to vote.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Big drop in Labour vote in Newcastle

Yup. For all Starmer going on about “If you want change you have to go out and vote for it” for 6 weeks solid, it seems like err, nobody really has.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Hang on..... 54%?

Nearly a quarter of that Reform?


f*** off

 

[North East Seagull]

Turnout is always low in the North East I believe

I voted in Newcastle about 9.00pm and we were queueing out of the door. Mrs NES worked a different polling station and reported being busy all day. I am surprised turnout was so low.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Lib Dems reckon they have won Tunbridge Wells

 

[Pevenseagull]

I blame the failure of. democracy on having libraries as polling stations.


Country of thick ****s.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Tunbridge (Palace) Wells turning Lib Dem?

This would be huge.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You think it will be a Sunak win, then?

Crikeyfuckingblimey.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

24% share of the vote for Reform so far, but the overall 54%, so far, is very low

 

[London Irish]

Friend of a friend did this bet - might be the value of the evening

 

[Pevenseagull]

Corbyn and Galloway incoming....all about what Muslims think about Gaza. Sad really.

In your dreams pal.

Emboldened nasty, nasty nastiness.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Friend of a friend did this bet - might be the value of the evening

Yep

 

[North of Robertsbridge]

I love the sound of Labour Landslide, it’s just a pleasing, natural phrase. Like England Batting Collapse, just sounds right

 

[Petunia]

I’m quite liking watching in daylight in this time zone

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

From my perspective I'm delighted that the share of the vote is going to be central to the news and will, I hope, push PR up the agenda
