General election

Bloody wimp, this is how to do it.

As a safety engineer I can't say I agree with this on so many levels, leave it at that.

On a different note did anyone catch the Tory's wheeling out Boris to spew his vile attacks on Labour likening then to Putin, they must be desperate if pulling old BoJO out of retirement !

Last 3 polls below it looks like Rishi is going down with his ship tomorrow, who will take his place.

Wait and see. Conservative voters tend to vote more, and right now I think they’d be less likely to say they will in polls.

Although the latest Yougov MRP certainly suggests a landslide.

Even my constituency is now showing as a Lib Dem win.

The only thing I would have liked was if Lib Dems were the second biggest party and so could lead the opposition.

If we had safety officers when we lived in the trees we would still be in the trees.

I voted after dropping kids off at out of school club this morning.

And don't forget farage's attendance and voting records as MEP.

Would he attend as many committee meetings in HoC as he did in Brussels?

If you vote before 10am you can get the early bird special.

Does anyone know roughly what time the first results are likely to be in?

Does anyone know roughly what time the first results are likely to be in?

11.45pm for one of the seats in the North East (of England). The one that always has the record of being first. It’s a safe Labour seat but the pundits say they will be looking at the swing to gauge how the rest may go. The bulk start coming in at 2-3am onwards but the pundits are putting a lot of faith in their exit poll since not many viewers are likely to sit up right through. I’ll be retiring to bed as usual because whatever happens, a government will get in.

Exit polls tend to be within a few seats of the actual result, and those will be published at 10pm.

There's a small caveat is that there is that so many seats are changing hands or being contested that it could be less accurate than in the previous few elections.

First declarations are expected at 1130-1145ish, we'll get around 80 seats up to 3am, but the vast majority will come between 3am and 5am. Last declaration is estimated at 630am.

Think it's Middlesbrough and Sunderland that race each other for the first declaration?

St Ives takes ages as they have to wait for the ballot boxes to come over on the scillonian ferry on Friday.

 

[old dog new tricks]

lets see if the pollsters and pundits called it right this time

Voted last week postal

JUST FOR FUN...
A buddy and I are debating how many seats the tories will end up with.
He says 132
I say 99 (admittedly I may just be trying to manifest them dropping to double digits).
My partner says 117.
Any other takes.

Well if Orkney and Shetland Isles can get their counting done by 530am I'm not sure if anyone else has any excuse to be later. They have to move one of the ballot boxes over 180 miles to be counted!
