Whatever happens, it's been great coming together to discuss this trainwreck with my fellow Britfag Kiwis. Not often we get to do this kind of thing.

Shall do if I can! I'm looking at a PS4 myself.

Eddie Hitler's taunting May and the smelly Hippies have already said the obvious, that they wouldn't go in a coalition with the Tories.

Indeed. There's too many Yankees talking over us usually!

The BBC is now hastily "readjusting their calculations".

Apparently.

In other words, they're fiddling the statistical methods until they get something that turns the raw data into the reality we're seeing.

The Pound is rising again. Seems traders are now thinking the exit polls are wrong too.

The Pound is rising again. Seems traders are now thinking the exit polls are wrong too.

Well in two of the most Labour leaning seats in the country we're looking at either the swings not being as big as predicted, or even going the completely opposite way. The rise of the Tory vote in Newcastle was a whopping 11% rise and a direct translation of 3.5% towards the Tories, when it was expected to go 7% away from them.

Tories announced that the exit polls are off as well

We're gonna get another Trump Election Night aren't we?

If this is so, the salt will be even more glorious. The Corbynistas will go from jubilation and rejoicing to literally shaking and cryin rn.

Sunderland central:

labour - 25k
Conservative - 15k

Looks like another seat for labour.

So who's gonna eat a hat this time?

 

[Ponderous Pillock]

Sunderland Central has seen another 2.3% swing towards the Tories, and Central's majority is down again by about 2/3,000.

But an increased share for the Tories. 2.3% swing to them.

We're clearly in the best timeline, there is no other way

Swamp Geordies always vote Labour.

Paddy Ashdown's learned from last time, so not him.

I nominate Techpriest. Maybe he'll fucking do it this time!

U fukken wot mate? I believe someone else promised to eat their socks, not me.

My hats are way too precious for me to eat.

[Fareal]

The flute band, i mean the Scottish Tories, seem unusually sceptical about the exit poll, which surprises me.

 

[CWCissey]

Labour's Julie Elliott has held onto Sunderland Central, but with a swing from Labour to the Conservatives of 2.3%.

Election expert Peter Kellner says the Labour Party is very worried that outside London, the exit poll has not picked up postal voters that may have voted Conservative.

Or the Pakis that love to engage in election fraud through the postal vote system have all been locked up.
