UK General Election 2017 - 8 June

[ItalAussie]

The politics has changed narrative is nonsense as well. People just like personality these days. Farage had it, Corbyn's shown he's got some, Trump (despite being a weaponised tool) has it as well. Clinton, May and Osborne just don't.
If Labour come out of this with any positives, let's not pretend for a moment that it's anything to do with Corbyn's personal magnetism. I mean, just roll that idea around for a bit. Really let it sink in. It's beyond ridiculous.

Bizarrely, the total lack of personality in UK political leadership at the moment seems to have left this as an actual policy-based election. Maybe we should just have elections between blank slates from now on.

[Waffdon]

Scotland handing it to the Tories would be a bit sickening

[John]

Things I've got right:

- The Sun has no effect
- The SNP are for it

Er, that's it.

The SNP were for it the minute they got all those seats in 2015. The worst thing possible for them is a spotlight.

[Yevrah]

You might have missed the debates, but he's clearly had some serious media training and came off very well across them.

Think Alan Shearer as a the pundit he used to be and how he is now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Scotland handing it to the Tories would be a bit sickening

One of many ironies going on here, as well as Clegg, Soubry and Rudd possibly losing their seats, and Kate Hoey possibly costing Labour one.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Tories shafting the SNP in Angus. They had an 11/12k majority. :harold:

[Lewis]

That piece of shit Tom Watson is rowing back on two years' worth of his life now.

[Pepe]

So what's going on? Is communism back? :drool:

[Pepe]

I have no clue how this election works btw, anyone want to give me some pointers?

[7om]

'Jeremy was safe whatever the result'

Weren't the Labour MPs ready to knife him and even breakaway into a new pissing party? How much more backtracking are we going get?

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Even in Dundee East, about as strong an SNP constituency there is, their vote has dropped 17%.

Just wait for the spin in the morning.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I have no clue how this election works btw, anyone want to give me some pointers?

650 seats, 326 allows you to form a majority government. Tories had 331 prior to the election. Now look to be losing enough to dip below the majority line.

[Mellberg]

It's gone out to 9 now. Whoever I back immediately fucks it.

Cash out then ffs.

Is that because of Angus?

[Pepe]

650 seats, 326 allows you to form a majority government. Tories had 331 prior to the election. Now look to be losing enough to dip below the majority line.

How does the Prime Minister factor in? If you get 326 you are PM? What if you don't?

[John]

I have no clue how this election works btw, anyone want to give me some pointers?

Each result is one seat. 326 seats wins. If nobody reaches that mark whoever got the most gets the first chance to coalition with another party to get across the threshold between them. If they can't, the next most gets a chance, etc.

[Yevrah]

Is Farage pitching for a seat with the Tories there?

[Mellberg]

How does the Prime Minister factor in? If you get 326 you are PM? What if you don't?

Then you can potentially make a deal with a smaller party to take you over the line. If no party can acheive that we have another election.

[Waffdon]

Cash out then ffs.

Is that because of Angus?

Probably but that should have been obvious as fuck. I'd expect Tories to romp Perthshire as well. Farmers eh

[Jimmy Floyd]

How does the Prime Minister factor in? If you get 326 you are PM? What if you don't?

The Queen invites the PM (which is May) to form a government (i.e. have their agenda voted in). If she is unable to do so from the elected MPs, she resigns and the Queen would then invite Corbyn (Leader of the Opposition) to do so. If he can't either, I'm not sure what happens. Something.

[Mellberg]

Jane Ellison is seething :D

[Pepe]

Cheers guys. :thbup:

[John]

Another ten percent swing to Labour, this time taking the seat from Cons. This is not looking at all good for them.

Another election? :drool:

[Pepe]

That system definitely has potential for DRAMA.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Another election? :drool:

What we all need is another election. And then another EU referendum.

[Mellberg]

Another ten percent swing to Labour, this time taking the seat from Cons. This is not looking at all good for them.

Scotland is worrying me. Potential for some surprise Tory wins there if the SNP plummet.

[Boydy]

Stockton South. :drool:

[Yevrah]

Farage referring to personality. He knows his onions.

[Gray Fox]

More elections/referrendums = More threads.

More threads > Less threads.

This could fuel the board for the next year.

[John]

Cons will take maybe ten seats off them. Labour will take whatever else they lose.

Another big Labour swing to take the seat in Stockton.

[Mellberg]

:D

Was about to pull you on that.

Farage is fantastic as a political commentator.

[Yevrah]

Farage is fantastic as a political commentator.

Yep. He's also the most successful politician in this country since Sir Tony by an absolute mile.

If he was positioned in the right party he'd probably make it to PM.

Aye, you can't deny his success. People wince when you say he's a great politician, but he's achieved an incredible amount all while painted as racist.

There appears to be a ship on top of three buildings behind the woman on this inexlicable trip to Singapore.

Where's that post from GS pretending he knew what he was talking about because 'if you've been following this as long as we have, then you know'?

Somebody needs to go through this thread tomorrow.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Tasmina too. This is even better than you could have hoped.

[Pepe]

Seething.

[John]

BBC have binned the exit poll in favour of a projection which only has Tories four short of a majority.

[Waffdon]

These rural and farming areas in Scotland are giving me the fear

[Mellberg]

Yep, Scotland's fucking this.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hang about, the revised estimate is up to 322.

THERESA GOD EMPRESS FOREVER

[John]

Fucking hell, sixteen percent swing SNP to Con.

[John]

Another eleven percent swing away from the SNP. They're dead, and it's lovely.

Tories should get big Ruth in as the leader of the party proper.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Just think, Scotland allowing the Cons to form a government, Facebook will be biblical.

[Waffdon]

If Scottish labour was any good, they'd be romping this.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If Scottish labour was any good, they'd be romping this.

Not in the wild and woolly places. This is a back to the 70s style election.

Tonight the final nail in the Blair coffin.

[Yevrah]

How have the Tories done so well in Scotland?

[John]

How have the Tories done so well in Scotland?

Scottish Labour absolutely fucked themselves in the build up to the Independence referendum and Kezia Dugdale is a colossal arsehole, so for those who don't want a second referendum Cons are the only choice. It's part protest vote, part genuine desire to be rid of the SNP, who are horribly ineffective.

[Waffdon]

How have the Tories done so well in Scotland?

That dyke Kezia Dugdale would rather have folk vote Tory than SNP to lock the latter out. They're an absolute shambles in Scotland

[ItalAussie]

Is there anywhere I can find odds on individual seats? I want to know about Oxford West.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

How have the Tories done so well in Scotland?

Basically 'you can shove your second referendum'.

[Yevrah]

Hang about, the revised estimate is up to 322.

THERESA GOD EMPRESS FOREVER

I detect the sarcasm there, but to add to it, surely she's gone either way.

Even if she scrapes the 326, she's just wasted everyone's time and given a huge boost to the Labour party.

The Tories should probably be banned from calling referendums or snap elections forever more.

[Yevrah]

Is there anywhere I can find odds on individual seats? I want to know about Oxford West.

[Mellberg]

Blairites been squirming all night. Great to see.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Pete Wishart's on a second recount.

[Dark Soldier]

If Scotland swing this to the Tories I'm fucking hunting Waff down and taking him out.

[Yevrah]

A Conservative Majority is back in to 2.3 now, with May clear favourite to be next PM at 1.58.

[Pepe]

Tonight the final nail in the Blair coffin.

:drool:

[Lewis]

My thinking going into this was that the Conservatives wouldn't lose [m]any seats, would take a dozen Scotch ones, and would then pick up most of the marginals they failed to snag last time round on account of Jezza being an IRA supporter and a retard. So that was obviously wrong. However, I have been questioning the idea that Northern (and Welsh) UKIP votes are up for grabs (in any meaningful sense) for years, so if they based their campaign on simply hoovering all of those up then Jesus.

[John]

East Ren. :drool:

[John]

Fucking hell, even the Lib Dems are taking seats off the SNP. :D

[ItalAussie]

I do like that in the thread poll, Tories are red and Labour is blue.

I wonder how the Scotland results would look if AV was in the picture.

[Waffdon]

If Scotland swing this to the Tories I'm fucking hunting Waff down and taking him out.

Blame that Tory cunt Alan shearer

[Lewis]

lol at Cleggers.

[Boydy]

Clegg's gone. :D

[John]

Did the Labour bloke in Sheffield just try to go to the podium to give a speech before the results were read out? :D

Clegg gone.

[Dark Soldier]

Clegg's face :D

[Lewis]

Although that ginger tosser who has beaten him sounds like a complete braindead.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Cleggers dreaming of the Times column already.

[7om]

Can't lie, I do like Clegg so I'm sad to see him gone.

[Lewis]

He looks gutted, but, once his ego recovers, I bet he will be quite happy in a few days. He must have been looking for an out for years.

[Mellberg]

Same. Feel sorry for him.

[Yevrah]

He brought us the phrase 'Alarm Clock Britain' so will forever hold a special place in the wanker bank in my mind.

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's a sanctimonious prick. Still, more time to spend with Antonio et al, so I can't say I don't envy him.

[Yevrah]

He looks gutted, but, once his ego recovers, I bet he will be quite happy in a few days. He must have been looking for an out for years.

Indeed. He's about to join the political commentary gravy train, he'll be good at it and no doubt love it too.

[7om]

My memory is probably warped by he images of him sitting next to Cameron at PMQs and having to pretend he agreed with 'lol long term economic plan'.

[Offshore Toon]

I'm in #TeamClegg. He really did fuck up by teaming up with the Tories, though.

[Mellberg]

Although his speech is in danger of going on longer than gingmong's here, which would be a bit daft.

[7om]

Fucking hell, he's commentating already. Stand down, twat.

[John]

Cable has pissed his seat.

[7om]

Cable has pissed his seat.

Incontinence?

[John]

Booze.

[Boydy]

Clegg out and Cable in is a good swap for the Lib Dems.

[Yevrah]

A recount in Farron's seat.

[Waffdon]

Good few gains for Labour there.

Cons, somehow.

[Boydy]

Here's the absolute boy holding his seat in Islington North.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Cons, somehow.

Jesus, there was a 20k gap between the two in 2015.

[Dark Soldier]

Labour have taken Ipswich.

Fuck me.

Genuine offer?

[Boydy]

Here's the absolute boy holding his seat in Islington North.

Increased his vote by over a third. Over 40,000 votes.

[7om]

Monster Raving Loony :cool:

[Lewis]

Increased his vote by over a third. Over 40,000 votes.

Those thirty-odd(?) people who voted Socialist and Communist must be literally deranged.

[Gray Fox]

Canterbury is to a recount by the sounds of it. At first count Labour were ahead.

[Boydy]

Those thirty-odd(?) people who voted Socialist and Communist must be literally deranged.

7 votes for the Communist League. :D

I think it was Battersea earlier that had 32 votes for the Socialist Party of Great Britain. I know two people who are members of it. They're lovely but a bit mad. Wouldn't vote for Corbyn because Labour is a capitalist party and they don't want to legitimise the system. Always banging on about the abolition of the wages system too.

[Yevrah]

The public haven't said that Jeremy, you're still going to lose.

This is all getting a bit Arsenal and their 4th placed trophy.

[John]

Monster Raving Loony :cool:

One of their promises is to keep the Falklands and send Corbyn to Argentina. :D

[Offshore Toon]

Scottish people voting Tory goes against everything I've heard from Scottish people over the years. Jock twats.

[7om]

He shits all over May as a public speaker, no doubt about that.

[John]

That was Corbyn letting a bit of arrogance sneak through his media training and he came across like a cunt.

[Lewis]

He talks absolute shit.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Scottish people voting Tory goes against everything I've heard from Scottish people over the years. Jock twats.

Shy Tories strike again, the scum.

[Boydy]

I went to the shop earlier to load up on snacks for the night. I meant to get some ice cream and I've just realised now that I completely forgot it. Fuck. I'd love some ice cream right now.

[John]

There are fifteen to seventeen percent SNP to Conservative swings all over Scotland. This is mental.

[Mellberg]

Canterbury. Tory since 1918 :lol:

[Pepe]

You lot really are pulling an all nighter. I'm about to go sleep ffs. :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

Labour lose Dagenham to the Tories, meanwhile. The rulebook needs ripping up and starting again.

[Yevrah]

Where does Angus Robertson live? I've got the morning off, so I could set off now and be licking his tears by breakfast time.

[Offshore Toon]

I'm starting to drift off. I need a fight or somebody crying to perk me up.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Jesus, Wishart the jammy bastard with a majority of 21.

[Yevrah]

Lord Buckethead is the best yet. :D

[Mellberg]

Lord Bucket Head. Turn the fucking lights off on the way out :D

[7om]

[Waffdon]

SNP won by 21 in Perth. Sheeeesh

[Yevrah]

It is brilliant. I can't stop giggling to myself when the camera pans out.

[Mellberg]

I love this country. Imagine that line up next to Hillary Clinton.

[John]

A bloke in a fucking Elmo costume as well as Lord Buckethead. That is just wonderful. I'm moving there.

[Mellberg]

Still nervous as fuck. So lightweight.

[Waffdon]

How's this Amber Rudd lass allowed three recounts?

[7om]

[Lewis]

Alright, love. Shut up and have a kip.

[Mellberg]

Lord Bucket Head would speak with more authority than this. Recount!

[Yevrah]

She's talking absolute shit there.

[ItalAussie]

Not to harp on, but the Tories are incredibly lucky to be getting most of the Scottish seats they are as well.

If you assume (and I realise it's an assumption) that SNP votes would generally be against the Tories, if you roll together Labour and the SNP, you have Aberdeen South is 52-42, Angus is 51-45, Ochil & Petersham South is 55-42, Renfrewshire East is 57-40, and Ayr, Carrick & Cumnock is 55-40. Even if the vote distribution of SNP voters wasn't that one sided, those are all some pretty huge margins against the winner.

They're the Steven Bradbury of Scotland.

[Yevrah]

BJ now second favourite for PM.

[ItalAussie]

They're lucky because Labour and the SNP aren't one party? :cab:

They're lucky because it's probable that more voters wanted them out than in, but they got in each others' way on the home stretch.

EDIT: They split the difference by a long way in Southport, too. The idea that 39% of the vote should be winning anything. :D

[ItalAussie]

220 seats each as it stands. Any particular reason why Labour have been ahead all night? DRAMA?

There's not a prayer of Labour getting a Parliamentary majority, so the real seat comparison is Tories vs. Other, surely.

[Boydy]

Which Nirish party is the Tories? Is that the DUP?
Traditionally it was the UUP but the DUP are the biggest unionist party these days and will probably happily go into coalition with the tories. They're a bunch of backwards religious fundamentalists. They're fucking awful.

Ten is probably the most they'll get, Mellberg

[John]

220 seats each as it stands. Any particular reason why Labour have been ahead all night? DRAMA?

Tories seem to be taking more of the larger, rural constituencies while Labour are taking inner city.

[ItalAussie]

Lib Dems winning Edinburgh West with 34% of the vote. Will never cease to amaze me.

Yeah, urban areas always return faster.

[John]

Curtice still hasn't brushed his hair. I hope he doesn't think he's pulling off a combover with that little tuft that's sticking up.

[Waffdon]

Dugdale screwed Corbyn.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Salmond sounding like a proper wanker there.

[John]

Ruth Davidson is brilliant.

How can you not love this shit?

[John]

That's better than the one Phonics posted before, but it's still crap.

[Boydy]

You're still crap.

[7om]

How dare you besmirch Jacob Rees-Mogg?

[ItalAussie]

If the DUP side with the Tories, it should be straightforward for them to form government, right?

[Mellberg]

Provided the Tories get 316 minimum (DUP have 10). 326 required.

They're projected for 318, so should just squeeze over the line.

[Boydy]

Depends on how many seats the Tories end up with. The DUP have 10 and the count is over in NI.

[Boydy]

Provided the Tories get 316 minimum (DUP have 10). 326 required.

They're projected for 318, so should just squeeze over the line.

It'll be slightly less than 326 required for a majority because Sinn Fein won't be taking their seven seats.

Anna Soubry there saying the Tory campaign was 'dreadful'. She'll get a kick in the fanny tomorrow.

[Yevrah]

Some frank honesty from Anna Soubry here. "It was a dreadful campaign".

[Boydy]

Come to think of it, the Tories being propped up by the DUP is probably GS's wet dream.

[John]

Jesus. She's essentially just said May has to go.

[Yevrah]

This is dynamite and the absolute reality of it.

[Boydy]

"I've lost friends"

Alright, they're not dead.

[7om]

Anna Soubry there saying the Tory campaign was 'dreadful'. She'll get a kick in the fanny tomorrow.

Yep, this is outburst territory. Brutal honesty.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Soubry is a whining twat.

Christ I wasn't picking Boris sub 5 on the next PM market before 5am.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

-21% in Banff and Buchan for the Nats.

Amongst all the carnage I think this will be the highest Tory vote at a general election certainly since 1979.

[ItalAussie]

Here's a thing I never quite understood. What's with the rosettes?

I know they represent your political party, but why rosettes? They look a bit silly.

[7om]

Any chance we could take page 39 and chuck it in the archive?

TRADITION and bow down to it you son of a criminal bloodline Ital

Finest mafia stock, I'll have you know.

[Lewis]

Chuka Umunna looking for a return here. Dickhead.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

How many recounts has Amber Rudd had?

[Yevrah]

The worst night of your political career and you have to spend the evening stood next to a man dressed brilliantly as a bucket. :D
