Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

If predictions are true, that the horrible Tories will win.

The public who voted for joker Boris, has let all the poor down, the homeless on the streets. the foodbanks etc etc

Boris, has promised all this stuff. It wont come true.

Margaret Thatcher done it in her time, she fooled everyone. And look what she done.
Boris is doing exactly the same.

Theresa May said 'We do not have money tree' So where has Boris found the money.

What will happen to recoup this money. Is to hit the welfare budget, and any other budget that he will recover the money.

Yes, l voted Labour. But, l did have doubts right up to the last minute. If Corbyn loses. Then he should resign tomorrow.: ad:

Well, i’m Going to stay up for an hour.

But the exit polls have been spot on for last two elections, even with a margin of error, you would expect on these numbers Tory’s to have a majority.

So based on that, Happy.

BREAKING: £ Sterling Sky rockets on news of Exit poll, currently up to $1.35 !

Well the margin of error could make a huge difference if most of these seats are close but I would think they compensate for them because, as you say, they're rarely wrong.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

As Christine Jardine (Lib dem) is currently telling Huw Edwards from Edinburgh, exit polls are great at the overall national picture but prone to miss local situations, especially in very marginal seats. And most of Scotland is marginal right now.

I can live with an SNP total of 55 because with an invigorated Tory party in Westminster and (I reckon) about 30% of the vote in Scotland, there is actually nothing Nippy Sturgeon can do about it if and when Boris refuses her demands for a section 30 order for an official referendum. But as of right now I don’t think the SNP will do quite as well as suggested.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Indeed.

A forecast of a majority of 86, they only need a majority of 1.

There would have to a complete and total collapse in polling accuracy for Labour to win. Is anyone watching Putin?

The Economist has looked at the margin of error in the context of this year's election and even given the margin of error, it shouldn't be a hung Parliament.

Not quite, worst since 1935.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Big difference to the future of the country between 1 (ERG can cause issues) and 86 (ERG cannot).

I think though the exit poll isn't so vulnerable to small swings though as they only look at specific seats.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Pip, l totally agree with you. It will be goodbye to the NHS, that will go to private hands. All the crap Boris has comes out with the gain votes will be gone.

I have always voted Labour. But, thwe people will have to feel sorry for. Is the poor.

Boris and his cronies will not give a damn for them.

The Tories have always been the rich mans party. But Labour has changed over the years.

Its is no longer the Workers party, that looks after the working man, or woman.

As soon as the final decision is in. Boris will have his 'cut throat team with him' And then decide how to recoup the money that he will promise.

Recount likely in Blyth Valley, the exit poll said that one was too close to call. Suggests (from one data point) that it's right.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Arthur, you have not always voted Labour, you are on record on this forum saying you have voted Lib Dem in the past because you didn’t like the Labour candidate. Please don’t make me look it up and link back to it again (as I have done several times in the past when you come out with this nonsense).

Furthermore, when we get to 2024 and the Tories still haven’t sold the NHS, will you finally admit that this is the biggest, most long-running lie in political history?

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
