Yup.

It's madness. Again. No matter what happens, unless the poll is really wrong, then any possible government is quite weak. Maybe another election.

Whilst British governments come and go, the Brexit alarm clock is still counting down to March 2019.
But postal votes that favour older voters could still win it for Therese May.

Would May and Corbyn resign in the event of another election? I assume so otherwise we may just get the same result.

May would, Corbyn probably wouldn't.

Initial results suggest Exit poll might be wrong.

Swing of 11% to the Tories in Sunderland....

I'm dubious of the exit poll.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll

Well, I was worried at 10pm but far happier at 11pm. There's no way the exit poll is correct with a swing TO the Tories like that in Sunderland.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll

Looking at Sunderland, basically the UKIPs moved to voting Conservative.

I think the exit poll is overestimating the Labour vote. (Which sadly means I don't think the SNP will lose 22 in Scotland).

Amber Rudd could possibly lose her seat in Hastings.

Re: The Cable Forum 2017 Exit Poll

Apparently Postal Voting explains the difference between the Exit Polls and what's actually happening.
