Chaaay AFC 357 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Still to early, it'll be very interesting to see the outcome though. I still fully expect a Tory win. Amazing how bad May and the Tories have made such a hash of this. Literally offered no sort of positivity at any point in this election. Especially after Brexit the public have been crying for change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The lib dems candidate in Sunderland didn't look old enough to even vote Exit polls not very accurate so far. Tory party doing better than it suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,389 Posted June 8, 2017 Administrator Share Posted June 8, 2017 worth noting that Tories received 5000 extra votes in Sunderland South than 2015. More increase for them than Labour had if I heard correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNORTHODOX 179 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 So is there still a glimmer of hope that Labour could pull this off or nah? I'm not sure how accurate the exit polls are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Only 3% swing from Labour to Conservatives. But if that happens in marginal leave seats the conservative party will do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how accurate the exit polls are. unlikely, but not impossible. can't see it happening but if this exit poll is correct (or near correct), it spells the end for Theresa May and gives us a hung parliament. exit polls can be hit and miss!

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I remember the EU ref when Newcastle and Sunderland declared first and everyone was trying to make out that the results differing from the exit poll would just be an annomoly because it's the North East. It wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original UKIP gains of 2015 were a protest to a degree from all parties however the Conservatives being the most eurosceptic in nature suffered the least loses, those loses forced the referendum to be held, now they're redundant as a party voters have gone back to original parties it seems.

Fairy In Boots 607 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Boris Johnson now 2/1 to replace Theresa May as Tory leader. Philip Hammond (7/1), Sajid Javid (12/1) and Michael Gove (14/1) Just saw Kuenssburg say a senior Tory has said she (MAY) won't be allowed to fight another election, anything less than a majority of 30 is damaging.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Leader of UKIP Paul Nuttall "UKIP will be the guard dogs of Brexit and ensure Theresa May doesn't backslide on Brexit" That before the elections and before it looked like they may lose every seat. One of those things in life you end up getting pulled up on and laughed at. What a disaster for UKIP and what a joke! Guard dogs indeed! Throw him some sausages.
