There's no future in England's dreaming
I *think* Labour, probably based on feckless youth not voting and being more likely to vote Labour. Therefore if they vote, turnout goes up, as does the Labour vote.

I think we might get a lot of Brexit or die maniacs showing up when they don't normally bother this time though. One of the Tommy twats at work almost registered to vote (for the first time in her late fifties).
Hard to guess in my own tiny enclave. When I went to vote, I was the only one there, and I commented "not very busy" and all the people-behind-desk agreed somewhat regretfully that it was not.
Thing is, there just aren't that many people here - ten high-rise blocks each of 228 flats of varying sizes have been demolished and replaced by 141 new Housing Association homes. So these, plus some existing low-rise blocks of flats don't add up to all that many people. I'm told the polling places were pretty busy in Glasgow East but that's not my constituency. It's just what I hear from a friend who drove my Dad to vote and was mainly dashing around all day taking old/not-very-ambulant people to vote.
At least I know my constituency won't go Tory. There is that.
Oh, waiting for the results is going to be horrible.

Just had to queue for 10 mins to get my ballot paper! Line snaking out of the door, which I've never experienced in any previous election living here. Lots of early-20somethings in the queue - in fact, no one over 50. Is the #youthquake people have been talking about? #iVoted"
mustln't get hopes up, but on CIF there are others like this

Literally nobody commenting on this has anything useful to say, and it is impossible that they could.
What would you do if they _did_ have a crystal ball that let them see what the results were, anyway?

I don't recall ever seeing students voting here in Winchester. I saw a whole bunch today, and Mrs mx said the same. The polling station is in a Uni building, but it was in 2017 too.
YouGov has Lib Dems ahead by a nose here - 2017 was a 10,000 tory majority.
The hope is killing me. I'm having a big drink, going to bed, and setting the alarm clock for early.
