I did a monster plan for tomorrow on all four scenarios (May decent majority/May weak one/hung/Corbyn) and yep, you know hung parliament is the most interesting, but feck, so much more work. I did the 7am shift today too, so already fecked.

Every result so far has been in line with yougov predictions. I would take that as a guide rather than a tweet from someone who was recently reprimanded for fabricating stories to discredit jeremy corbyn.
what is the youGov prediction?
 
It's a total car crash, C4's Alternative Election Night,. Gary Lineker wading in on twitter#massive cnut, and what is going on on Newsnight :lol::lol::lol:
 
No sympathy for her after that video where she appeared to try to silence an independent candidate talking about the links between Saudi money and terrorism.

Yeah I saw that, again, poorly briefed because she had to cover for skeletors mum.
 


Lib Dems lose deposit. Gains for Labour and Conservatives fairly even.
 
I wouldn't read too much into the odds. Generally, Betting Syndicates and Investment groups will have ran their own exit polls + use the ones in the public so it's sort of based off of those to a large extent. The odds rely on those polls being accurate, which we we have seen in the previous electronics/referendums, they aren't overly accurate.

Yeah, I understand how it works mate! It's as good a barometer as anything else we've got though.

You ditched the cooking?
Yeah last year, been a Computer Science student for the last year now. Looking for a summer job as we speak, Cheffing a last alternative...

Surely the 'shy Tory' effect is factored into their modelling?!

They do indeed and that's my point. It's the hardest effect to adjust for apparently as it's immesurable. They are adjusting it by previous years and if the turn out is higher because young people are voting Labour, then the compensation could create a huge margin of error against the Tories.
 
At least with all these students and young people actually bothering to turn out and vote, we wont have social media tomorrow plastered with statements like how old people's vote shouldn't count...
 
Or people realise it's gone to sights and they put brexit on hold, and re referendum in 2018, with regulated campaigns that aren't just built on utter bull and lies.
We can but dream

I voted Labour on the local issues and actually liking him as a constituency MP. Weird lack of campaigning round our end this time- last time we were getting cnuts at the door every night. Zip for this one.
My constituency is safe Labour, didn't get much campaigning aside from some leaflets shoved through the door.
