  • I suppose to be fair to @newyorkaddick that I should admit my own forecast of a Tory 75 seat majority is also toast.
  • When will the next election be?

    So did I, but I am a pessimist.

    Probably no more than usual.

    Is anyone remotely surprised in UKIP's collapse? Their raison d'être no longer exists.
  • Labour are going to lose but surely one of the greatest defeats ever?

    Or is it that people no longer want to leave?

    Doubt we could manage that we're too disorganised. We need a strong and stable leader....
  • Vale of Clwyd could be an upcoming LAB gain...
  • In the pub, my niece said that this time round, the youth vote is real. " it's become cool to vote" she said. At 21.55....

    I'm hoping this puts an end to the suggestion of a take over by the hard left, maybe they have finally given a mandate that the whole Labour party can accept and build upon together. If the have energised the youth vote, they have defied the establishment again. Early days yet saying that.
    Those young people didn't ever have to travel on a nationalised railway run by British Rail or suffer when the country was in the grip of the Trade Unions with constant strikes. Labour Governments have always overspent and left the economy in a worse state than they found it.
  • Turnout is up across the board.

    Talk of youth vote being up 15-20%.

    I'm so proud of us.
    So am I, about bloody time my peers got out and voted to!
  • How long will Theresa remain as PM?

    Yawn. Or they've been given hope by a party rather than talked down to.

    Nonsense.
  • I was a remainer.

    But we cannot just screw up the result of a referendum and start again.

    I may not like the result of it, but that's what the country voted for and it has to be followed through.

    It would be lethal to our country if a democratic process was ignored.
    She called the election to get a mandate that shows the country is united behind her in the the Brexit negotiations. It seems that the country has refused to give her that mandate. I agree with Alastair Campbell; if the exit polls are accurate the very idea of Brexit should be revisited.
