[QUOTE=OmniConsUme;52330038]Apparently There is talk that a big bit of UKIP voters voted labour,probably due to the police cuts May Wanted..[/QUOTE]
We're seeing Lab and Con making equal gains at the expense of UKIP losses, but I don't think UKIP voters are flocking to Lab and Con equally. Rather more likely I think we're seeing more UKIP voters go to Con, but previously Con voters switching to Lab.

Seeing the SNP lose a seat to Labour made me hype.
MORE! TAKE MORE!
So, looking at the exit polls Conservatives can't make a majority. What's the chance of Labour, SNP and a few others trying to form a government?
Corbyn is THE most down-to-earth person we've ever had so far, if not ever :v: Fingers and toes crossed that if he wins this election he would put things right.
Do you even have coalition governments in the UK?

As an SNP voter, I don't mind the SNP losing ground if it gets Corbyn closer to Downing Street.
[QUOTE=download;52330075]Do you even have coalition governments in the UK?[/QUOTE]
2010 - 2015 was Con/Lib Dem coalition.
The Lib Dems stopped the Conservatives passing soooo much bullshit.
[QUOTE=download;52330075]Do you even have coalition governments in the UK?[/QUOTE]
Yes, we had one in 2010. It didn't go too well.
[QUOTE=download;52330075]Do you even have coalition governments in the UK?[/QUOTE]
We had a Conservative-Lib Dem coalition after 2010 that basically destroyed Lib Dems as a political party for the rest of eternity.

Very unlikely at this stage. LDs stated before the election they wouldn't enter into a coalition with anyone, they redoubled that tonight after the exit polls. Even if all members of a possible Lab/SNP/LD coalition were willing it's unlikely they'd have enough.

Amber Rudd looks really worried, this is great
[QUOTE=download;52330075]Do you even have coalition governments in the UK?[/QUOTE]
Well yeah we had one from 2010-2015
Edit: Ninja'd, my two cents on coalitions though for pageking:
Tories are going to be isolated, Lib Dems have committed to no coalition, full stop, they might get the odd seat from a DUP coalition but that's it
If exit poll is true, Labour would need Lib Dem + SNP + Labour coalition to overtake Conservatives, if I'm not mistaken
Labour has apparently taken Pudsey (that's where I live!)

Damn thats a pure majority.

I maybe ok about that too, Because what project from exit polls said they will retain most seats.
[QUOTE=El Burro;52330079]As an SNP voter, I don't mind the SNP losing ground if it gets Corbyn closer to Downing Street.[/QUOTE]
Likewise - if SNP have to lose seats, I'll grudgingly cede them to Labour over anyone else.

And any other appendages you may have if you're wishing for a majority. I will also cross all my appendages while I sleep.
i hope this doesn't turn out like the american election
it was all blue across the board for a good portion of the night until the major states started rolling in red and lost the electoral college

The North West has been staunchly pro-Labour for decades because the Tories hit the area hard in the past. There's also the fact The Sun is barely sold (and in some places outright banned) because of their past lies and slanders, so their propaganda is regarded as worse than dog shit. You can expect similar landslide results around Merseyside.
