Conservative voters don't look at this

Think Perth and Borders may go blue and possibly around Aberdeen.
Hoping that Labour pick up a couple probably in central belt. Surely Mhairi Black will stay!
Still think SNP will do better than predicted.
May have to accept reluctantly that Tory MP's could outnumber our pandas!

mcem it is sacrilege if Tories get the seats.

I've started a results thread to keep it all together if you would like to do that.

I couldn't agree more mcem.

Oh please just this once let the exit poll be correct.
Don't think SNP will do that badly but frankly, if it's a hung parliament and TM doesn't get her triumphalist victory, I'm prepared to accept that a few of the SNP seats may have been sacrificed for the greater good.
Is that sacrilege???

Blimey!

I'll now have to stay up and watch!

Whichever thread you want - all of them, if you want.
Are you going to stay up and watch?

Is this the thread we are on?

Exit polls, hung parliament!!!!

That's appalling!

I hope they get it sorted and kick up a fuss if the result is close. I know from my DS that some first time voters were confused.

DS lives in halls of residence and the uni registered them, but some students living in private rentals weren't registered. I got DS to double check that he was registered, but I guess some parents aren't so "controlling". I had to intervene and get him registered for the referendum. He had assumed he was registered, but he wasn't and we had to act quickly to get him on the electoral roll.

DD has lived in a number of short term tenancies and could easily have missed out on being registered. Again, I've nagged her and she did have a vote, but I can imagine that some people are more laid back than I am.

Students can remain at their parents' address and apply for a postal vote, but the situation isn't explained very clearly. I'm not surprised that some of them miss out and it doesn't help if the local council isn't on top of the situation. I'm not really blaming the councils either, because I know that they're experiencing cuts and don't have the time to follow up absent voters.

More interference.

Anyone in Enfield who can corroborate?

We'd better hope those students get their votes in along with all the other youngsters who are voting for the first time.

Information on here for students who have been told they can't vote.

If it's the first time you have voted, how do you know what to do if you do not receive your postal vote, Jalima?

It's not postal votes, anyway. They have proof that they are registered, even though, when you get your voting card you are told you do not need to take it with you.

I think it was Keele University - Newcastle-under-Lyme

'The whole of the Midlands' is a huge area including many areas of high deprivation, others areas fairly affluent, ex-mining towns etc etc.
So that is rather a sweeping statement.

dj No, I hadn't. Which unis were involved? My DS voted. He sent me a text to inform me that I didn't need to take him to a polling booth under duresse. It could have had something to do with the constant nagging , but as he's studying politics, I would hope he'd be interested in voting.

About 50 people, some students not on the list and some postal voters in Newcastle-under-Lyme due to incompetence at the council offices by the sounds of it.
Some of these people did not receive their postal voting papers.
If you did not receive your postal voting paper would you not phone up and demand to know what was happening well in advance?

The Labour candidate should get in but it was fairly close last time.

varian This is an ultra-safe Conservative seat. However, many of the pupils' parents work in IT, medical or scientific research, pharma or academia. Jobs are already being lost. This part f the constituency is very strongly Remain.

I'm not surprised so many of the pupils voted LD or Labour. Unfortunately, they tend to leave at 18 (the majority go to university) and don't come back, so the area is top heavy with older people.

Have you seen the stuff about students being turned away, being told their names are not on the register, even though they have proof that they are?

daphnedil I was encouraged to hear the result of the voting at your local school. If only enough older voters had the same sensible views, our country might have a better, brighter futire.

High turnout and long queues at universities apparently.

I hope they prove that Tory wrong, then, mostly, and get rid of him.
I was expecting the latest from Owen Jones!

That was to daphnedill.

I suppose the libdem vote at your local school was an anti Brexit vote. Owen Jones, the Guardian journalist, seems really good at appealing to young voters (Facebook and twitter). A very talented man.
