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

[QUOTE=icemaz;52330190]It makes sense, cities generally call earlier than countryside areas, and cities are majority Labour. Hold tight, Labour seem to be doing really well.[/QUOTE] It's hard to hold hope. It really is. I don't want to count the chickens before they've hatched and get hyped at like, 30/650-odd seats?

All those tiny ass constituencies that are close to each other are abusable as fuck for getting seats in London.

[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;52330191]Don't wanna call it too early but the_donald isn't high-energy at all lol. No UK memes, only one thread on this that was unstickied when Labor took the lead. It's not like they like May either, and their opinion isn't too credible, but it shows how the main conservative movement is feeling right now.[/QUOTE] After the French elections, I really hope this momentum keeps up throughout the world.

Lab just won Vale of Clwyd from Con, is that the first Con -> Lab swap we've seen tonight?

LAB GAIN FROM CON

Another Labour gain from in Vale!

[media]https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/872976849919520769[/media] LAB - 25 CON - 13 SNP - 1 LD - 0 DUP - 2 Good win for Labour, however it was incredibly close in 2015 with just 230~ votes between Cons and Lab

A fucking win for Labour from the Tories. Whooooo.

[QUOTE=RVFHarrier;52330204]Lab just won Vale of Clwyd from Con, is that the first Con -> Lab swap we've seen tonight?[/QUOTE] Yep!

Slightly better source on the betting thing [media]https://twitter.com/BetfairExchange/status/872974767078461440[/media] Knew I should have put money on Corbyn, I won money betting on Trump as well

[QUOTE=little.sparrow;52330183]Ugh, I have the horrible feeling that a sudden flood of tory seats is gonna show up. If my memory serves me correctly, 2015 went this way - slow trickle of seats, then a flood of tories.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's exactly how it went.

[QUOTE=RVFHarrier;52330204]Lab just won Vale of Clwyd from Con, is that the first Con -> Lab swap we've seen tonight?[/QUOTE] Take this at face value, with 0.6% between them in 2015, it may not be suggestive for the rest of Wales.

I'm getting too excited please hold me. I know I'm going to get disappointed later. Fuck you Tories. Get shit on.

What an unexpectedly interesting night.

Fuck, this is worse than when I thought this would be a Tory landslide. My heart can't take hope.

[QUOTE=meharryp;52330224]Labour have only increased their vote share so far, even if it's like 2015 we shouldn't see anything as severe[/QUOTE] Emphasis on [I]so far[/I], though. We're only a tiny way through.

We don't really seem to have much of an altright here, other than sycophantic Trump supporting youtubers *I browse it more often than I should. I think you can call it morbid curiosity, like a car crash

[media]https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/872977738331828224[/media] LAB - 27 CON - 14 SNP - 1 LD - 0 DUP - 2 So close, would have been an amazing win for Labour. No one expected this seat to be this close.

Remember guys... [i]"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment"[/i]- Angry cyborg space nerd from that one video game i like

Liberal Democrats got 666 votes in Vale of Clwyd, confirmed to be demons

Woke up to Vine in Big Ben and Corbyn being favourite for next PM. Fucking fantastic.

This is going to be a massacre. Corbyn is smashing it, what a lad

Swing-o-meter is a bloody terrorist simulator, flying into Big Ben like that. Smashing glass and all.

Angus is gone.

Dunbartonshire West is an SNP hold, Angus fell to the Tories (Rural, pro-brexit, anti-IndyRef2, so not really unexpected)

[media]https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/872978795770372096[/media] LAB - 28 CON - 16 SNP - 2 LD - 0 DUP - 2 Big win for the Cons

There's a LOT of recounts going on right now, all in Tory seats.

Angus falling to the Tories is fucking sad, quite a swing as well.
