    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    '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?

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    More elections/referrendums = More threads.

    More threads > Less threads.

    This could fuel the board for the next year.

    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.

    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.
