Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Yes indeed, I have mixed feelings about it. The SNP surge in Scotland is being driven by a total Labour collapse, with those few people who still supported them in 2017 going to the SNP. The Tory vote seems to have held up reasonably well in Scotland but with Labour out of the picture the Nats are benefiting.

The SNP are on course for major gains and fair play to them.

People are waking up to the marxist, entryist, and racist party that is Labour.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Conservatives have gained my area (Ashfield) from Labour.
Its only the second time in about 70 years its not been red (that was for a brief 2 years in the 1970's when the Conservatives won a By-Election by around 300 votes).
In fact, not only did Labout lose it today, they actually came 3rd, behind a local Independant.

Conservatives now on 348, and still rising.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Well, it’s all over bar the shouting. Labour collapse everywhere, which is great for the UK but annoyingly has put the SNP miles out in front in Scotland. Tories’ vote share in Scotland held up well enough but Labour tanked here as badly as anywhere and the Nats picked up all those votes.

Prediction ... Boris will say “now is not the time” for another referendum in Scotland.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

All over but for 1 result still to be returned.

Con 364
Lab 203
Lib Dem 11
SNP 48
Others 23

Finally a Government with a majority again. Let's hope Boris delivers.

I take your point about the SNP. Sturgeon will be pushing for another independence referendum.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

indeed, 5 years of wee jimmy bleating about a referendum. Boris won't give her one.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

On the one hand it's too depressing for words, but trying (desperately!) to look on the bright side:-

At least is he isn't dependent on the hard right wing/ERG side of his party any longer - they might be as gutted as Labour now their bonkers no deal won't happen.

Pleased to hear words about One nation Toryism (the slightly less nasty kind). However we'll see...

With many seats across the north of England there is going to be pressure from those MPs to genuinely invest in the region.

Brexit - people now know exactly what deal is on offer and they've made their choice. Still think its a gigantic mistake that future generations will never forgive us for, but lets move on.

And there's always Canada...

(oh and its the Office Xmas Party today, i shall be having a few... :))

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

When you look at a colour coded map of the results, the Labour seats appear in clumps.

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

Re: Election 2019 Exit Poll
 

I was just about to post the same thing! A hugely increased majority may serve to dilute out Francois, Redwood, Cash etc. It will be interesting to see which way things will go. Will the government move further right or back towards the centre? I don't believe that Boris Johnson is really that right wing but is more a traditional Conservative somewhere between Thatcher and Major.

That said, place your bets on which of these will be first to go;

• Extra NHS funding/50k nurses
• 20k more police officers
• An Australian points based integration system
• Millions per week for science schools and apprentices
• Net zero on carbon by 2050
• No rise in income tax, VAT or national insurance

BTW, I voted for 'other' in the poll up there ^^^. Tactical vote for David Gauke. That went well!
