Clearly not if the Netherlands have Exit polls being reported on before elections closed here (social democrats seem to have done well).

Given the interest in these elections and the ongoing drama of Brexit, the Conservative Party and general basket case of politics at the moment you would think they would have commissioned Exit polls for this election.
My assumption was that something about UK law means we do not report until polls close everywhere...

Re: Brexit
The Scottish independence referendum didn’t get one. IIRC the EU one didn’t either. I think we only get them for general elections in the UK.

Referendums are harder to poll as they don't have a baseline from which to measure change. If there was another referendum (in either case, but Scotland might have to be quite soon) then they may have one because of the amount of data they have from the last referendum. They can then set up in demographically relevant areas to attempt to judge any change in mood.
In 2016 they could have had a 39 year old white male in Oldham saying he voted Remain but what good does that do them? However if they knew what this demographic did in this area in a prior referendum then a picture starts to be built.

Pollsters probably hate referendums and popular votes anyway because of the binary nature of the result. You may only be 2% out but that's the difference between Remain or Leave and suddenly you look like an idiot. Wheres if you said it would be 56-44 and it was actually 58-42 then it looks like you got it almost spot in.

It's Labour supporters(or a particular group within that) that tend to have a couple of dozen voters per one-bedroom flat.

Re: Brexit
Good. Then we can start work on the hard Brexit that is necessary to get us out of the EU.

Which IMO isn't going to happen..... The only way we will perform a hard brexit is if the EU decide they have had enough. It won't be instigated by HM government.

Don't really see the problem with that. It's not like she has been corrupt or anything.

It could, but it would have to be following a general election with Tories winning with a thumping majority and all MPs voting with the whip.
So not anytime soon.
