there's an election

[Jockney]

Politics as history; consign to death politics as destiny. Look at what we can do. Look how we've exposed them for the charlatans they are. We're taking it back.

One of mine. I'm so fucking happy

Jeremy "Disaster For" Corbyn fetches over 40,000 votes.

 

[EricSabin]

Labour winning some key marginals. Just had a fiver on most seats at 33/1.

 

[TheMinsterman]

Lib Dems gain Bath, another Tory seat gone.

 

[Laker]

If Labour win Canterbury off the back of being 18% behind in 2015 that's amazing.

One candidate in Maidenhead got 16 votes lol.

And another got 3 votes!

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Maidenhead line up best so far: lord bucket head; elmo; official monster raving looney and May looking like she's chewing on razors. Elmo only got three votes!

That constituency is nuts, looks like a fancy dress party.

 

[Ciderhead]

Lord Buckethead for PM imho

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Lord Buckethead for PM imho

with elmo as deputy

 

[TheMinsterman]

They'd both still be more competent than a Boris premiership.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Eric Pickles clearly said there will need to be another election.

 

[Ciderhead]

with elmo as deputy

His fist pump for the 3 votes was worth staying up for alone

Theresa May has promised a period of stability.

I think I'm going to come.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

May is going to have a very hard time, from those she moved out of office and those who will be annoyed that she got it wrong.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Wow Canterbury. Where did that come from?

 

[EricSabin]

Forecasting a hung parliament on Sky!!

Forecasting a hung parliament on Sky!!

Sky News about 3 hours behind the rest of the country with that insight then.

 

[nousername]

SNP taking a kicking in Scotland. Looks like they'll get just over a third of the popular vote.

Alex Salmond losing his seat!

 

[Pliny Harris]

Sky News about 3 hours behind the rest of the country with that insight then.

Six!

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Forecasting a hung parliament on Sky!!

Who do they reckon is going to win the Brexit referendum?

 

[Jockney]

Six!

Aye well. About three since I've been secure enough to start celebrating!

 

[TheMinsterman]

Bloody Alec Shelbrooke clung on the sod, another election where I am stuck under a MP I don't want.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Labour gain Plymouth!

 

[smat]

Labour have won Halifax, where May launched her manifesto.

Anna Soubry *just* stopping short of calling for May to resign.

Wowowowowowow.

 

[Laker]

Labour trounced Lib Dem in Cambridge. Was an interesting seat as it had been Lib Dem up to 2015 but turned Labour off the back of Lib Dems abandoning their stance on tuition fees. But Julian Huppert, the Lib Dem MP, actually voted against his party on that.

Labour obviously have a policy to remove fees altogether which was the deciding factor.

In addition, it was an area that was heavily pro-EU. It's a complex constituency so interesting it went so heavily Labour.

Rudd clings on. Hoooo boy. That would have been good.

 

[Jockney]

Rudd clings on. Hoooo boy. That would have been good.

It will be good. She's a fuckin' poster-boy for the May campaign. She's out in the next election cycle.
