    Elmo gets 3!!!!

    That means that he has roughly two mates. Poor fella.

    It means that at least seven of the ten people who nominated him, didn't vote for him!

    Gone a bit quiet on here. Have most gone to bed? Just us the hard-core few left? Or maybe it's just the people like me who have no plans for tomorrow.

    Eh? Think that's wrong
    You're right. Apparently it's a Labour hold.

    Britain Elects is usually pretty reliable.
    BE now announce the result as Labour hold.

    Balls. I was hoping for a change of leadership and that would have guaranteed it.

    I didn't see that, but as someone who watches polling closely, this would indicate that the Exit Polls were VERY close

    Progressive alliance nowhere near enough once you add DUP into the mix.

    Still leaves a choice between a Tory party in a mess and a party (or coalition) with less seats than them.

    Quite simply - we are in deadlock. Nothing will get done.

    We will need another election and frankly from a Brexit perspective we would have been better off with a Labour majority / largest party.

    People can go on about what Labour or Corbyn would be like. But he didn't call this snap election. However he stepped up to the plate and fought the fight, what choice did he have?
    I feel no sympathy for Theresa May because I think she was going for a cynical grab for power.

    Mentioned this earlier: UK polls had good Raw results, but then tried to skew them and screwed it up:

    Canterbury has 187 majority for Labour.

    Vote share up 20%. Incredible.

    May is throwing hersef on her sword for the wider party.
    She is surely finished.

    May is throwing herself on her wheatfield for the enjoyment of the nation. Thank you for your poor efforts. Goodbye. Please pick up your dust.

    Okay okay, I'll ask it:
    Is the underlying deadlock here Brexit? And if so, should there not be another referendum?

    Full disclosure, I would have voted Remain. But also, something I'm big on is the fact that democracy is not intended to be permanent, and thus this huge and unpredictable shift feels odd on a one-off yay or nay.

    You can throw things at me for bringing this up at half 3 in the morning.
