I am so happy right now.

Six Shinners takes the winning post down to 323. The DUP have 10. It seems the Tories are going to get more than 314, so with a little delicate negotiation they should be able to get the DUP on board and have a working majority, if a slim one. Whoever the Tory PM is, is going to have a very delicate balancing act to do.

And let's not even start trying to factor in how many by-elections there are likely to be in the next five years. Squeaky bum time.

Do you not think there is going to be another election? Scrapping past the post with the help of the DUP isn't going to work for 5 years.

Salmond defenestrated :rofl:

Alex Salmond OUT. Tory Gain.

They'll be mad to call another one. They would almost certainly lose more seats.

l always detested this extremely arrogant man so even though it has gone Conservative getting rid of him gives one great pleasure.:)

What are your thoughts on Theresa Mays position Chris after tonight?.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll
 

I think she is secretly relieved.

Tories take Banff & Buchan off the Nats as well. It just gets better and better.

Extremely precarious. It's not clear who can replace her though, although I can't help wondering whether David Davis might have his eye on her job.

It's not at all clear how there's time for a Tory leadership contest though, with Brexit negotiations getting started in less than a fortnight.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll
 

I don't think so. I think if they changed leader, had a more inclusive campaign with an actual offer to the electorate other than 'Brexit means Brexit' and a better campaign they could do it...

Either way is a government with a handful of seats as a majority propped up by the DUP is going to a nightmare for 5 years.

Anna Soubry has put the knife in.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll
 

So is Ruth Davidson and David Davies or at least hinting at it.

I think the hard Brexit mandate isn't there. Labour support Brexit, it's happening, but I am less sure on the type of Brexit.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll
 

According to one source just now l hear its 50/50 that she could go tomorrow and apparently Boris is always manoeuvring for the top job.

Pretty damning l would say.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll
 

I can't see the party putting Boris forward for it, not with Brexit now at the very gates.

Amber Rudd holds on by a few hundred votes.

Picture of David Cameron has emerged as he heard the exit poll...



BTW John Curtice has done it again...

With just 27 seats left to declare, turnout is running at 68.6% - the highest for a UK general election since 1997.
