I voted Labour minority, because that seems like the worst possible outcome, and that's the world we live in now.

It looks like BB might be right  :)

That's said to be ManU.


Though I don't myself subscribe to that sporting meme.

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.

:blink:

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?

So I should basically not care about this. Beings we're stocked full of crazy here on the left side of the Atlantic.

No I'm saying the May's election plan was to recast her leadership in the mould of a Trump, what the results so far shows is people want don't want a leader who wants to remain aloof and enact more arbitrary policies.

Seriously.  Stop having elections and referendums that you lose.  Pretty simple concept.

BBC tweak the exit poll to suggest the Tories will get 322 seats, so still short of a majority.

Optimistic of them.

Anyway, I think I'll sign off for the night; was planning the sort of all-nighter I did in 1992, 1997, 2010 and 2015, but I've seen enough now.

Odd, because it's really on a knife edge now, the three likely outcome are all still possible and just a handful of votes will swing it either way.

Oh and goodnight.
