[Doctor Gollum]

Well the BBC are already declaring it based on a fantasy exit pole

[redelitev6]

A dismal effort from all parties in my area , no one knocking on doors , the only leaflets we got were from the Green party and an Independent , so much for Sunak saying he was fighting for every vote ! 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well the Exit Poll is generally not far off the end result to be fair, but oh boy are they gleefully sticking the knife in! 

Quite different to the stunned mournful BBC reaction to the Exit Poll 5 years ago....

They're usually correct, but we knew it weeks ago. I have no intention of watching/reading anything political for five years

I had a phone call from the Tory candidate yesterday.    Most of the leaflets were delivered by the postie.

Got to keep your blood pressure up Uncle STEMO!

If the figures are correct, Reform have done much better than I thought they would.

Yes and the Tories have done better than expected as well.

It's bad enough having a left wing Labour government, but what a disaster having the left wing Lib Dems as the official opposition would be.

Who, in my case, CBA to bring them to the actual door, Just found a few littered around the front garden.

Yes, that's quite a surprise considering that despite another name change, they're still the same delusional amateurs playing at dog-whistle politics.


Then there's the rest:


Conservative Party is so utterly worn out in every way that matters that they desperately don't want to win.


Labour Party is so afraid of winning with a tiny majority that they created a manifesto and campaign so boring the voters might give them one anyway. They could have just rolled around in the middle of any road for the same effect.


Lib Dems are sticking to their long standing club rules of needing one more MP than they actually have to come to a decision about anything.


Greens only electable candidate decided not to stand.


Others - Britain's first past the post makes them irrelevant as it always has.

20,000 people surveyed at 133 polling stations.

~50,000,000 potential voters at ~40,000 polling stations.

The exit poll is statistically irrelevant.

C'mon Al, Exit Polls are usually not far off the end result, You know it, we know it, Uncle STEMO's dog knows it! 

Sunderland just declared, Labour win, Reform second with around double the votes of the Tories!

             Reform is probably the best to vote for imo ……. Do you really believe the shit the other parties are spewing again??

[Doctor Gollum]

So, 0.9% of the results in, and Labour are 6/6.

However, 5 of those are moot as they're seat that they've held. Whilst the outcome is the same, it isn't quite the same thing as a gain.

Looking at it, in outright numbers: I suspect Reform will see more votes this time than Labour managed last time, and Labour will receive less votes this time than Conservatives last time.

So:
Reform to exceed 10,300,000.
Labour to not exceed 13,966,000.
Conservatives to fail to reach 9,000,000.

Only a 60% voter turn out I think most folks are pi55ed off with it all.
