IIRC that's good news for them, no? Had seen this forecast for Labour somewhere.
Looks like Vince Cable makes a comeback too. Twickenham declaring for Liberal Democrats.
All part of the post referendum surge. It was always going to be a one-parliament surge that would settle the next time. I hadn't expected it to benefit the Tories as much as it has, mind.
Just bad. Not bad bad. They'll almost certainly hold a comfortable majority of the seats.
Still struggling to believe the forecast for Aberdeen South. We shall see. An SNP hold there would boost the mood slightly.
Grim for the SNP. They'll undoubtedly pull the majority of seats tonight but the losses corroborate the exit polls. Will be interesting to see to what extent it's a true loss of support for the SNP and how much is simply an organised unionist vote.
YES!!! :D Thrilled to see him gone.
It's bordering on insanity. His smug face is everywhere. It's a bit Orwellian. They'll be gone in the next few days.
I think Ms Black is brilliant. One to watch for the future. Glad to see she's returning to parliament.
Pleased to hear that Vale of Clwyd is possibly going Red. I had thought the Tories would have increased their margin here based on the demographic (generally older) but hopefully that smug...
But they've picked up only a small number of polling stations. Even within constituencies there'll be huge variation. There's a risk they'll have picked up on small local sentiments by picking one polling station that isn't representative of the constituency as a whole.
Don't apologise for...
Not dismissing it entirely, if it's the same methodology as the previous it should be reasonably accurate. Just seems hard to draw conclusions when they haven't sampled from even a majority of seats.
We shall see. Could be a good night for Labour.
Bit sceptical here, with only 141 polling stations sampled you've not even got a quarter of the constituencies. Hopefully it's right with regard to the Conservatives and I think that whatever happens it's not gong to be as easy as they had expected. The SNP's demise seems to be surprising and...
You may not be aware of my relocation to the Vale of Clwyd constituency. The SNP didn't field a candidate here in North Wales :wink: I'd have voted SNP if I was still in Scotland.
And I have voted for the Scottish Greens in the past.
Please at least go to the polling station and spoil your ballot. If you can't bring yourself to pick one, scrawl the words "none of the above", or vote for a ridiculous write-on candidate (may I suggest Mr Blobby?), or draw a penis or... anything. Better to turn up and use that vote than not...
Yes, as we've explained before the forum isn't representative of the country as a whole. Nor is any Internet forum, which attracts a subset of the population with a specific demographic or set of interests.
I think those on the right to a good job at making their voices heard on here.
"You've not listed the [insert name here] party!" ;)
Labour - because they aren't the Tories and could actually win this seat. I don't have a great deal of respect for the party as a whole, but ultimately I realised I'd be marginally happier with Mr Corbyn walking through the door of Number 10...
