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.

Too early to call the exit poll colossally wrong?

In which direction?

Its too early to call anything yet

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.

Polling Labour too high / Tories short of a majority. It is very early however, probably too early to hear the signal from the noise.

Gove is deader than fucking dead mate, do you not have fond memories of how quickly and spectacularly he went up in flames last year?

Gives new meaning to the phrase 'hung parliament '

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!

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.

How would they know?  That's just pure speculation surely?

Stop trying to draw a straight line through a single point. Give it an hour or two.

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...

Yeesh, the Tory frontbench is the stuff of nightmares. Rudd, Johnson, Leadsom, Gove, Hunt... 

 

When was the last 'decent' Tory then?

 

Major?! Churchill?! Stringfellow?!

Neil 'I can't believe he isn't dead yet' Hamilton was very clear that they weren't I'm afraid.

That's it's own question. 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.

Promising. My constituency Swindon South can hopefully do a bit better. Not holding my breath tho.
