Trains, Banks and Public/Private Ownership - Prev.Predict UK Gen.Election Result

[Agelastus]

I'm off work tomorrow (assuming my boss doesn't call, he's done it every day so far this week that I've been off work .)

Word on the ground seems to be that the Tories have lost Kensington (or Chelsea or both - the person posting "the word" seems to be mixing the modern constituencies up with the one abolished before the 2010 election.)

Even given London being the heartland of remain, that's still pretty shocking.

[mongers]

OK can we stop voting now, I note 26 have proffered an opinion and  someone else has posted in the 80-100, but no one over 100+.

So safe to say I'm the extreme outlier having gone for a 98 seat Tory majority.   

That was me. I just looked at a couple of recent polls and went with them. Looking at the exit polls today, that seems to have been a mistake.

For once I am glad to keep your company*

UKIP is a Norwegian blue.

The Tories are apparently worried about the status of all 22 of their seats in London.

Gary shat on May.

Did I get the joke right?

You've probably got a better idea of that than me, football pundit with twitter account savages UK PM.

Wooops!

Strong and stable soundbites make for weak and vacillating leadership.

It looks like the Tories are likely to be less than 300 for the night, assuming YouGov's NowCast remains as accurate as it has been compared to the Exit poll; Corbyn probably our next prime-minister, propped up by the SNP (who were happy to accept Tory help when they were a minority government in Holyrood, but can't stomach touching them now) and the other minor left of center parties.

Vale of Clwyd to Labour; one of the most marginal seats in the country (only taken by the Tories by 200 votes in 2015), but still a bad result for the Tories.

Honestly, I don't mind saying that I feel sick.

The Queen should relocate to Oxford and raise the Royal banner and begin raising an army.

Wow it is a total disaster. I called it.

After Cameron's Brexit debacle one might think the Tory leadership are actually Labour agent provocateurs.

So this is a bad thing?

Corbyn as PM? Yes. He will be shipping money and guns to the Venezuelan government and Hamas a few days after taking power.

Really?

This was a prime minister who called an entirely unnecessary general election, largely as a vanity project.

She carried on a presidential style campaign, in part modelled on Donald Trumps on, something entirely at variance with our parliamentary style of democracy. 

And don't forget in the dying days of the election she said she'd throw away civil liberties in order to confront a rather minor terrorism problem.

Valmy would you be happy with a president promising to quash American rights?
