Spindles Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 1 minute ago, st dan said: A question on the turnout percentage - is this the turnout for those who registered? Or the turnout of the total population regardless? Turnout as a percentage of registered voters. A high turnout is good for democracy whatever the result, as far as I am concerned.

squirrelarmy Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 What do Newcastle do so well that the rest of the country can't? I know they race to be the first result in but surely we should have more votes counted by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very early however, probably too early to hear the signal from the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Tease Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Labour suggesting postal votes outside of London (not included in exit poll) looking pretty bad for them- they count for about 18% . back to feeling were stuffed- good night!

mikegday Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) A lot going on. But from them first 3 seats, remain seats are seeing a swing to LAB. Leave seats are seeing a equal swing to CON - but not enough to make it change. I'm trying to get my head around it but from what I can work out, it's looking similar to the last election, the swings don't seem to be enough to change anything.

DeanoL Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 11 minutes ago, Mr.Tease said: Yes, I wouldn't be surprised- neither Tories nor labour believe the exit poll.that would be just typical- from fearing 100 seat majority, to being told its hung parliament, then back to 100 majority- hopes raised then crushed, just like brexit and trump It's more like those if you imagine you are a Tory. Expecting a solid win, having an exit poll that would be shockingly bad for you, then having a few early results that suggest the polls could be wrong before them actually turning out even worse. That was 2010 and 2015... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, who even of the current lot even demands respect, or even carries themselves well? Swindon North showing a massive movement from UKIP to Labour. Now that the geography spreads out a tad, the exit poll is going to get really tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
