The OTH column (Northern Ireland) is shaping up



Continues the trend of the hardline parties marginalizing their moderate counterparts

Even if the exit polls are off and Cons win a majority Theresa May might get shivved as party leader because the expectation was a blowout to strengthen their majority for Brexit negotiations.


So can Theresa handle this? Either way she is fricked.

What is a hung parliament?

A hung parliament means no party has won enough seats in a general election to have a majority in the House of Commons.

Hell, there's a shot we see a minority governing coalition.

Unless the exits are just super wrong, May is the scapegoat here.

Looking at the seats that have been called so far the big story is UKIP defections to Labour. It had sort of been assumed that the UKIP vote would all go to the Tories, but as it turns out, a lot of them were domestically leftist and removing their pet foreign policy issue gave them no reason to stay.

I means it seems like everyone is getting just a little ahead of themselves right now.

Labour may retake all of their Welsh losses from the last election.

Corbyn would be a fricking disaster as PM and would revive UKIP like nothing else could

We need a third panel to that political compass comic where the foot just reaches across the top two quadrants to kick the shite out of the snake

Can't say I'm surprised.

No...we go by whose turn it is.

And here comes the village idiot who only seems to post when European elections come up.

Look we know you probably have Macrons cock in your mouth right now as I type. Don't try to act like you are some international guru specializing in France and England elections just because you watch sky news every night to educate yourself on the matter it's a pathetic front.

For the record I think the handful of Scotland seats they take (plus the DUP sweep in NI) will end up keeping the Tories' nuts out of the fire. May is definitely done though.

UKIP is dead


UKIP only has one seat currently but they were the third highest vote receiver in the last election. The U.K. is single member districts which is what the OP's post is predicting.

Estimates have been revised to put the Conservatives at 322 (officially 326, but actually 323 needed for an outright majority)

They're going to win, limping across the finish line it seems.

This might be the best of both worlds, Tories remain in power and get rid of May who everyone agrees sucks.
