UK General Election Day and Results: 'Parliament is Well Hung.' - Polidicks

Im just hoping the Conservatives don't get the bigger majority they wanted so bad, they really don't deserve it at all after that disgraceful campaign, May deserves to be shamed for it

[QUOTE=CruelAddict;52328323]Fuck this is gonna be depressing if Tories win. I wonder if my GF will manage to get her degree before shit goes down with Brexit and co.[/QUOTE] If the Tories get a huge majority I will actually set to work on leaving the country for good. I ain't living in a place with regulated internet.

I'm so nervous about tomorrow's likely confirmation that the majority of of the population has Stockholm syndrome for the Tories. I hope they at least get a really slim majority... Fuck I'm depressed. I'm personally disabled (invisible disability) and so are a number of my friends in various ways (cerebral palsy, mental health issues, fibromyalgia, ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Schlerosis) and some of the shit these Tory cunts have put them through is just fucking wrong. I really want to make whoever enables these dehumanising policies regret it.

[QUOTE=Tacooo;52328371]Im just hoping the Conservatives don't get the bigger majority they wanted so bad, they really don't deserve it at all after that disgraceful campaign, May deserves to be shamed for it[/QUOTE] Never mind the campaign, more like the disgraceful past 7 years

Just came from my Polling station! Voted for Labour (Mum and Dad ain't happpy), was quite exciting. We (went with my mum as we both got off work) bumped into my next door neighbour who shook my hand to congratulate me on my first vote haha.

Voted. Headed to the gym. On the way I nearly get wiped out by some lunatic speeding up and down the high street in a black taxi covered in loudspeakers and conservative banners. I think the government is trying to kill me guys.

[QUOTE=The Genie;52328412]If the Tories win I just really won't understand. They've fucked students, nurses, doctors, working class, the police, the disabled, and now even old people. Who exactly is voting for them and why?[/QUOTE] A lot of fear mongering and false information about increased surveillance preventing attacks like we've had recently, people believe it.

Just got back from voting. Convinced my parents to vote labour as well.

[QUOTE=Morgen;52328524]Just got back from voting. Convinced my parents to vote labour as well.[/QUOTE] My mum voted labour but my dad voted tory because he employs people on zero hour contracts.

Lets put the tories to bed boys

Always been a labour and lib dem voter, this time hasn't been any different. I'm just hoping that the blue majority isn't as big as they hoped.

I'm rooting for British Bernie Sanders Hope Labour at least makes a big showing if not a victory. It'd be nice if we can show the pushback against the right wave, first with Macron's victory, then with Corbyn, and then perhaps with pushback against Trump in the US. [I]notonestepbackcomrades[/I]

They probably hear about policy stuff but it doesn't register enough to get them really thinking about how much more likely it is to affect them.

Had a bunch of my friends and people I know voting labour, whereas in past elections they voted for UKIP and also in favour of Brexit. finally talked them round, but it didn't take much effort considering how well labour have been doing campaigning opposed to tories. But still, I've been reminding myself all day that I'm not getting my hopes up. I hate that that has to be my outlook but I just don't want to convince myself otherwise and then wake up to the Tory win

[QUOTE=Lolkork;52328793]When do we get the results?[/QUOTE] Exit polls in about an hour and ten minutes. Then we wait for the rest of the night for the actual results. Most people who aren't die-hard about elections tend to find out when they wake up.

[QUOTE=Anyx;52328776]Pray we get a hung parliament. It's in the realm of possibility![/QUOTE] Way more likely we will get a boring Tory victory. I hope you are right, because Idk something just feels so wrong about the Tories doing well. They have made no effort to put themselves forward as the right choice, they just just spent the last 7 years screwing everyone over and now they have explicitly stated they want to dial their previous bullshit up to eleven and are expected to have secured a few more years by constantly shitting on members of the opposing party personally? Is that really all it takes?

Great thing about moving to the USA is that I will know the final result just before bed.

Is Jeremy Vine jacking himself in to the Matrix again?

I wonder how was the voters turn-out. Were they a lot of young people in the waiting line?

[QUOTE=Chaitin;52328816]I wonder how was the voters turn-out. Were they a lot of young people in the waiting line?[/QUOTE] Apparently there were big queues at unis, but then uni towns are always going to be Labour.

Anyway, I went out and voted an hour ago. Trudged up there in the pouring rain, FPTP has basically rendered my vote little more than a symbolic gesture- But it felt good to not be deterred at least.

Forty odd minutes now! Go do it!! Vote!!

voted, brother voted, finally convinced my mum to vote labour when she was at one point supposedly going to vote May (!) fuck it, tories will win again, but hopefully Labour sends a message

[I]this[/I] is why the tories keep winning, because the old farts who have nothing to do and excessive time to go vote actually do, whereas people like you are left feeling helpless when really [I]you can[/I] make the difference. [editline]8th June 2017[/editline] all chaos requires to fill one's heart is for it to be empty.

Don't worry man, that's why I feel pretty good about going. I'm about as disenfranchised as I can imagine being and I still voted. Will next time too. They can convince me I'm wasting my time but they wont stop me doing it. Fuck em.

Come on guys if a reality star with a loose grasp of the English language can surprise everyone and become my country's president surely your guy can outperform the polls and surprise everyone.

landslide tory victory without a doubt.
