And before you ask no I am never gonna inherit a million quid so the dilemma would not arise.

I’ve been listening to exit polls for decades. Some they get right, some they get wrong.
In 2010 wrong and we ended up with a Coalition.
2015 wrong, they didn’t predict a Cameron majority.
2017 correct with Theresa May not getting a majority.

I go to bed after the exit poll.

I think what shocked me was how few people they talk too for these exit polls. How can you get a picture on what’s going to happen on a election this unpredictable by only visiting 1 in 347 polling stations it’s bonkers.

Yes they get some right but that’s because they focus on small majority seats that could be taken, however it happens in a few areas quite often that the shift is bigger that is predicted

Think the first couple likely to be declared tonneet ie Sunderland and Newcastle will give a good indication how lab will go on in the north in previously safe labour areas. If the Brexit party don't make much of an inroad into them lab could have a good night.

How do you define 'good night'? Do you have coming a decent second a good night, as so many Labour supporters seemed to in 2017, or are you still hoping to wake up in the morning to find that Diane Abbott is in charge of the security of the country and John McDonnell all ready to begin the process of ridding the country of the scourge of wealth?

Sounds much better than the "Austerity for the poor, tax cuts for the rich" lot, so typical of the Tory party over many, many decades.They do a ruthless job of making the rich richer at the expense of the poor.

I would expect that the Brexiteers will split themselves between voting Tory and the Brexit party which will only benefit labour. The brexit party's decision to not stand in safe tory seats will not make any difference it will just give them a bigger majority in their safe seats.

[rolymiller]

If the Tories and brexit party do balls this up for themselves they only have themselves to blame.

[rolymiller]

The marginals will be interesting it will depend if they are leave or remain areas. Think I could be up all neet with this there could be a lot of twists and turns

But labour promised to honour the referendum and have dumped on the majority of the country.

If this Labour party gets a majority then I think that I made the decision of my life and my kids life 14 years ago.

This labour party isn't one I can associate with and it rips my emotions to bits.

the Labour Party did indeed promise to honour the referendum result. They’ve dumped on the 17.4million that voted leave, they haven’t dumped on the MAJORITY of the country. Back in 2016 almost 13million couldn’t be rsed to vote. How many of the 13million will be rsed to vote in this election ?
