Don't get carried away!

Yeah that's not happening.

Alistair Campbell just suggested Labour as largest party though, which is amazing.

Edit: Which I don't think will happen. But the fact those words came out of his mouth shows the change.
 
You can afford to be cheeky from where you are, you don't have to live with the aftermath :). Binge spend on crap, and then the successor enacts a tonne of cuts. No smooth existence ahead here. That's before the foreign policy.

This could be Britain's Donald Trump moment.
We had our Donald Trump moment last summer.
 
Y'all can have that C4 lady, Mishal is incredible.
 
Watching on BBC and literally everything they say sounds like good news for Labour.

Am I right in saying this looks like it's going every bit as well as the exit polls suggested?
 
Tom Watson going in on May. Jeebus.

Strong and stable gone to weak and wobbly.
 
Amber Rudd looked properly miserable. :lol:
And rightly so, although she is a real piece of work and a Torry loss is obviously a positive.

I feel some sympathy for her personal bereavement. She was made - forced actually - to replace May (after her father died) and now she's about to lose her seat.
 
Feels like a real watershed moment.

Young voters have been inspired to go out and vote. I've been critical of Corbyn for a while but fair play. He's tapped into something special.

Makes me feel much more optimistic for the future.
 
I apologise for that then. I've been lead astray by my Egyptian mate (although he moved here when he was about 6 and has adopted a western name). He's probably the least PC person you'll ever meet and is probably happily using it as an offensive term about himself.

I'm not getting excited about it being offensive then or anything, it just isn't a good one to use (as a white person in a white country kinda way especially I suppose.)

'We' say mixed-race now I think is the preferred non-discrim term nowadays.

Ah, super PC is (or was) 'person of colour' I believe. Which sounds even worse to me, but there we are.
 
Jesus I fell asleep. Can someone update me on what's gone on? Bad news for labour??
Still looking good. Not really had any gains yet though but Labour haven't lost seats either.
 
Ok. Thats good to know. I stand corrected. I just thought bookies had the same system as they do with football etc.

With football they just follow Asian Betting Sites, they don't react themselves to money staked for 90% of games they offer, but thats for another thread :smirk:

The odds for Elections generally just fall in line with Polls, with some external factors taken into account (usually the 'silent embarrassing vote' e.g Trump, Brexit = Racist, Tory = Scum) amongst a couple more.

Said earlier, it's astonishing the most knowledgable and bright minds in Politics, employed by these syndicates, can be consistently wrong every time.
 
I've only been living in the UK for eight months but it's so abundantly clear, for the future of young people, that another Conservative government will be a disaster. I have a good feeling about Labour though. This whole election is quite reminiscent of the Marriage Equality referendum in Ireland last year. I'm expecting record numbers of young voters to turn out tomorrow and give everyone quite a shock.

:cool:
