The exit pole predicting no overall majority.

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 22:06:08

phoenix Thu 08-Jun-17 22:07:12

confused

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:08:36

Have I trodden on someone's toes - sorry blush

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 22:09:22

No I don't think so gg it's just me being thick

Potatoes potatoes world still keep turning holidays and kittens

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:15:48

That's OK - sometime's two threads get started at once.

They seem to be predicting

Con 314 (-17)
Lab 266 (+34)
SNP 34 (-22)
LD 14 (?)

I can't catch the smaller parties

Tories may be in trouble in Hastings - Amber Rudd

Oh please please let it be true. I am sat here with a huge grin on my face. Is it too early/late for a glass of red?

merlotgran Thu 08-Jun-17 22:21:01

Too early????

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:21:43

Certainly not whitewave - I'm off to the fridge!

Can I add my please, please too.

La La la la la.............trying to avoid politics .

My sister's constituency is on a knife edge - smallest majority in Scotland.
A closeby constituency also looking iffy!
My constituency fairly solid.

mcem Thu 08-Jun-17 22:29:45

gilly think this might be the wrong thread for you !!

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:30:09

So you come on here? Strange decisiongrin

They are saying the first actual vote will be in just before 11 p.m.

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 22:31:23

Are you listening to Fallon, he seems to have lost the plot.

Rigby46 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:32:08

4 of us here - 3 bottles down already

Rigby46 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:33:29

ww did he ever have it?

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:33:40

ITV seems a bit more fun - BBC is quite dour

I did wonder Rigby smile

whitewave Thu 08-Jun-17 22:35:25

Mums say exit poll was out by 20 seats last time in favour of Tories

But it could be wrong in Labours favour with luck.

mostlyharmless Thu 08-Jun-17 22:35:59

Keeping everything crossed. First results before eleven....

Anya Thu 08-Jun-17 22:37:20

Don't understand this 'too early' concept ?

Rigby46 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:37:45

Well as we know the righties have all gone to bed because it doesn't really matter - potatoes potatoes

minesaprosecco Thu 08-Jun-17 22:38:02

I'm on holiday in Romania, thought I'd just go to sleep and, in mourning, check the result when I woke up. Looks like I'm going to have to stay awake - bit like the Brexit night, but with a tad more hope this time.

Riverwalk Thu 08-Jun-17 22:38:34

All the broadcasters are flabbergasted - I think they're scared to believe the poll as it's so wildly different from what was expected.

GracesGranMK2 Thu 08-Jun-17 22:39:22

Anya grin

MN are right to think this isn't the actual result.
