    Default Polls Have Closed - UK Elections 2017

    So ... voting is over.

    What are your predictions, hopes, regrets & thoughts.

    Also in the next couple of hours post the results within.

    Made my vote. In my area it is a weak one but I did my bit. Good luck to all in our flawed democratic voting system !

    Were fucked if that exit poll is right. Fucked fucked fucked fucked.....

    There talking about holding another election on ITV right now if its hung.

    The only upside, and it may be part of a bigger plan is a withdrawal from Brexit as a result of the chaos of a hung parliament.

    Exit poll is VERY interesting. Pretty much everything is within the margin of error.

    Gonna be a long night!

    If that poll is correct then (a) May is toast (b) Labour has got some of Scotland back and (c) another election soon

    Rosie is the Labour candidate. 1st ever non conservative to win Canterbury. Fantastic teamwork. I am so not stopping at this. Beat them then don't forget to bury them.

    Based on voting for something that they believed in ? Based on something that if Labour had won they would have delivered. Sorry if you are a blue nose living in canterbury lol but it's over for them down here. A wee bit short nationally but there ya go. May called this election looking for 100+ majority. june is always the end of may. Finally look forward to the "centre" ground shifting leftward as a natural consequence of these results.

    Anyway I couldn't really give a monkies today. I and many others did our bit in canterbury. We overturned a 10k majority......and ended over 100 years of conservative rule in Canterbury. Ecuse me and us if we feel like that is a victory.

    Mexit 😊

    I've been helping people on Facebook to prove they didn't know a thing about the political things they were regurgitating. It was like shooting fish in a barrel but they just kept coming and repeating stuff that has already been debunked which started to make things even easier.

    Fantastic result, I wasn't realistically expecting a victory but the hung parliament was a nice surprise.

    A shame that the wankers have now jumped into bed with the DUP but at least it proves their level of hypocrisy.
    No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...

    Great result, very happy

    It's also very entertaining watching the vultures circling around May. lol.

    So presumably, Corbyn is untouchable now, and all his critics have to STFU?!

    So the Tories have thrown their hat in the ring with a party that's beliefs include:


    • Think abortion should be ruled out for rape victims
    • Homosexuality is an abomination
    • CO2 emissions are green propaganda and man made climate change is a con
    • Line dancing is sinful
    • The teaching of evolution should be removed from schools curriculum


    That's going to work out well then and better not mention the terrorist links either, I saw it suggested they create an acronym for the Conservatives and Democratic Unionist Party for the new 'Party' and suggestions

    The big elephant in the room is the peace process. It's Dup on one side and Sinn Fein on the other. With a neutral UK government supposed to impartiality mediate. Remember the ni parliament is currently suspended due to both sides being unable to move forward from the "Heating empty sheds" fraud....500 million fraud and the Dup were up to their necks in it. Couple that with the right wing propaganda over the last month.....I hope and pray it doesn't fall apart over there.
    See the main thing that moved the peace forward was to recognize that there was murdering going on in both sides. Wrong doing on both sides. To move on the past must remain there.

    Turns out that unbelievably the Conservative party missed out on a majority by 401 votes out of 30+ millions :-0

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...hort-majority/

    Losing 3 Seats by less than 30 votes in each, how close was it also on the flip side Corbyn was only 52,000 votes away from being PM which again is a very very small percentage :-0

    Think it was less than 52,000 as if the Tories had lost a few more seats a deal with the DUP wouldn't have saved them and doubt anyone else would have backed them, I think the gains they made in Scotland might have been enough alone.
